Naturally-Extracted THC

Delta-9 THC that has been obtained directly from cannabis plants through extraction methods, rather than cooked up via chemical conversion in a lab.

A beverage or edible labeled naturally-extracted THC will contain delta-9 THC that was extracted from a high-THC cannabis strain—or federally legal hemp in compliance with the 0.3% rule.

The significance of naturally-extracted THC: it assures potential buyers that the product’s active ingredient is the exact same THC that cannabis produces, without any potentially undesirable by-products of chemical conversion. It also aligns with full-spectrum philosophy, as naturally sourced THC often comes along with minor cannabinoids and terpenes unless further refined.

For example, a gummy could contain THC distilled from marijuana (naturally sourced), as opposed to delta-8 or delta-10, which is THC converted from CBD (not naturally extracted in final form).

A lot of today’s hemp-based delta-9 edibles use THC that’s extracted from legal hemp—even though the plant barely makes any—by cranking up the volume and concentrating what little is there. They call it hemp-derived delta-9 or naturally extracted to make clear they’re not delta-8 wannabes.

Bottom line: naturally-extracted THC = the real deal.

It came from cannabis, not from playing chemistry dress-up in a lab. Proponents argue this yields a cleaner and more authentic experience. (Example: A THC seltzer brand might say naturally extracted to suggest a vibe that’s closer to the plant, less to the periodic table.) The term also hints that such products should have the legal delta-9 limit (if from hemp) and not involve synthetic legality loopholes.
