Only a trace of Delta-10 Tetrahydrocannabinol (or Delta-10 THC) is naturally occurring in the cannabis plant. Delta 10 THC is one of over 150 known cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis. Due to the scarcity of Delta 10, it went virtually undetected in the plant until very recently, because it had been mistaken for other cannabinoids (CBL and CBC).

Delta 10 THC distillate is similar to Delta 8 THC distillate but is considered much less potent psychoactively, at least according to the consumers who have tried it. Each new THC Isomer that is discovered comes with its own unique benefits and effects and Delta -10 is no different.

Since Delta 10 THC is pretty new to the hemp industry, there is very little science-based evidence regarding the effects of Delta 10 THC. When searching for information regarding Delta 10 THC there are anecdotal testimonies by some consumers stating that they experience a milder high than D8 or D9 THC. Delta 10 THC has also been described as more of a Sativa high and good for an uplifting feeling for daytime use, whereas D8 is described as more of an Indica high and good for relaxing and sleeping.

Again, there is little scientific research regarding the safety of most of the new cannabinoids on the market, including Delta 10 THC.

And due to lack of regulatory oversight, it makes it difficult to set any safety guidelines except by the industry leaders who care about their consumers.  As with any new product, time will tell. The good news is that scientists have found ways to produce Delta 10 THC using food-grade additives and converting it from Delta-9 THC.  Be sure the company you are purchasing from provides a full panel COA showing the safety and purity of the Delta 10 THC distillate.

Right now, there is very little information available on the therapeutic benefits of Delta 10 THC until more scientific studies are performed we won't know the full benefit and effects.  Consumers however have described Delta 10 THC as providing a more relaxing "mind" high than Delta 9 THC and without the paranoia. Please understand that this does not constitute legal or medical advice.

Delta 10 THC derived from federally legal hemp extract exists in the same legal gray area as Delta-8 THC, so if you live in an area where the local laws dictate that Delta-8 is legal, then hemp-derived Delta 10 THC is also legal. Further regulations regarding Delta-10 THC down the line could change things, but for now, Delta 10 THC is legal as long as it’s derived from federally legal hemp. 

With Delta 10 THC being an isomer of Delta 9 THC, it comes with psychoactive properties, whereas CBD Isolate does not. CBD isolate is just pure cannabidiol - it does not contain any THC whatsoever or have psychoactive properties.  Delta 10 THC Distillate is pure Delta 10 THC and should not be confused with CBD. In summary, Delta 10 THC has some psychoactive effects whereas CBD Isolate only contains the isolated molecule of CBD, which is not psychoactive and will not get you high.
