Delta-10 THC

A less common cannabinoid isomer of THC that has recently appeared in the market. Delta-10 THC (Delta-10 Tetrahydrocannabinol) is chemically similar to delta-9 and delta-8, but with the double-bond in yet another position.

(What are we, the Kama SuTHCra? Don’t try to read that aloud, you’ll strain your tongue—which, come to think of it, is a solid euphemism for eating edibles.)

Delta-10 occurs naturally but only in trace amounts; most d10 products are synthesized from hemp-derived CBD.

Users anecdotally (and enthusiastically) describe delta-10’s effects as mild and more cerebral. Some say it provides a “mellow, energizing high” with less sedation. However, there is very little scientific research on delta-10’s pharmacology or safety.​​ (These scientists really gotta get out more.)

Like other hemp-derived THC isomers, delta-10 emerged through a loophole in hemp laws and is often sold in gummies, vapes, or tinctures in areas without legal cannabis (like the tiny town from Footloose, probably). Its legal status is not explicitly defined in many places and may be subject to change.

Consumers should be aware that delta-10 is reported to be intoxicating (though reportedly less potent than delta-9) and that products may contain residual reagents or impurities from the conversion process.

In summary, delta-10 THC is THC’s enigmatic lab-coat wearing roommate—a semi-synthetic cannabinoid offering a light THC-like high, but it remains scientifically and legally uncertain.
