What is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC is the main naturally occurring intoxicating component found in cannabis plants. A “high” is typically experienced by someone who smokes or consumes more delta-9 THC than a certain threshold.
Cannabis dispensaries in states that allow delta-9 THC offer a variety of delta-9 THC products, such as gummies, cookies, candies, tinctures, topical creams, vapor cartridges, and infused drinks.
Manufacturers market delta-9 products as being able to alleviate symptoms of certain medical conditions and diseases. However, the FDA has approved only two synthetic THC formulations—dronabinol and nabilone—which are used to alleviate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Nabilone can also be used to increase appetite among AIDS patients.
Delta-9 THC: Potential Benefits
Benefits of delta-9 THC include:
– Relaxation
– Reduced anxiety
– Increased appetite
– Exhilaration or feelings of happiness
– Heightened imagination
– Enhanced sensory perception
According to Doctors, studies have shown that delta-9 THC can be used as a therapeutic treatment for certain conditions. These include nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, seizure disorders, and chronic pain. It may also help with spasticity and multiple sclerosis.
While we do not have conclusive proof that delta-9 THC or other cannabinoids cause these effects, medical cannabis patients consistently report benefits for the conditions listed above. The doctor adds that “benefits” are also observed in people suffering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as neurodegenerative disorders, seizure disorders, autism, and autoimmune diseases.
There is limited research on the effects of delta-9 THC on sleep. Some studies show improvements in sleep patterns, while others indicate that chronic use of delta-9 THC can have the opposite effect, disrupting sleep and delaying sleep onset.
