THC Common Questions
What is hemp-derived THC?
Hemp-derived THC refers to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that is extracted from hemp plants, which are a variety of the cannabis plant. According to U.S. federal law, hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. Hemp-derived THC products include various forms such as oils, edibles, and tinctures, and they are legally available in most states that have legalized cannabis products.
How long does THC stay in your body?
The duration THC stays in your body depends on several factors, including your metabolism, the amount and frequency of use, and the method of consumption. Typically, for people who smoke cannabis once a day or more, THC can be detected in the body for up to 30 days, but it may be less in occasional users and more in regular users. Blood tests typically detect THC for 1-2 days, while urine tests can detect it for up to 30 days.
Does THC raise blood pressure?
According to a study, THC can cause an initial increase in heart rate and a temporary rise in blood pressure, especially when consumed in larger doses. However, these effects tend to subside as the body adjusts. In some people, particularly those with preexisting cardiovascular conditions, THC can cause more noticeable effects on blood pressure.
How much THC is legal?
In the United States, hemp-derived THC products must contain no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight to be considered legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. This applies to CBD products made from hemp. THC from marijuana (cannabis plants containing higher levels of THC) is only legal in states where marijuana has been legalized for medical or recreational use.
How much mg of THC to feel effect?
The amount of THC needed to feel its effects varies depending on an individual’s tolerance, body weight, metabolism, and the method of consumption. Generally, most people start feeling effects with around 5-10 mg of THC when consumed orally, such as in edibles. It is always recommended to start with a lower dose and gradually increase if needed to avoid adverse effects.
Can THC interfere with medications?
Yes, THC can interact with certain medications. It can affect the way the liver metabolizes medications, potentially making them less effective or increasing their side effects. If you’re taking medications, especially those for heart conditions, mood disorders, or blood pressure, consult a healthcare professional before using THC products.
Are CBD capsules THC free?
CBD capsules made from board-spectrum or isolate CBD are typically THC-free. However, full-spectrum CBD capsules may contain trace amounts of THC (under 0.3%). Which is legally permitted but might be enough to show up on a drug test. It is always advised to check the label to confirm the product’s THC content.
How long do THC capsules take to kick in?
THC capsules, like other edibles, need to pass through the digestive system before the effects are felt, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The onset time depends on individual factors such as digestion, metabolism, and whether you've eaten recently.
What kind of THC is legal in the US?
Hemp-derived THC, with a concentration of no more than 0.3%, is legal under federal law. However, marijuana-derived THC (from cannabis plants with more than 0.3% THC) is only legal in states where recreational or medical cannabis has been legalized.
Where can I buy legal THC products?
Legal THC products can be purchased in states where cannabis is legal, either for medical or recreational use. They can be found in licensed dispensaries, both physical stores and online (where allowed). In states where cannabis is not legal, hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% THC are often available in health stores or online.
