It's hard to believe how fast the cannabis industry has grown in recent years. Almost everyone in the business contributed to the sector's remarkable evolution, from small shop owners to corporate folks. Dozens of new THC products have been introduced over the past few quarters alone, turning what was once an illicit marketplace of underground deals into a legitimate player on Wall Street and Main Street. And the new compounds continue to bolster the industry and help it grow, which brings us to delta 11. Are delta-11 products the next big thing, or are they another way of talking about 11-hydroxy THC?
It may seem like a small question, but it’s the difference between the cannabis industry rising to the next level or overplaying its hand. Everyone loves delta 9 THC. The country, so far, has embraced delta 8. And other cannabinoids continue to give consumers various options in terms of potency, effects, and benefits. And now we hear about delta 11 THC. Is it the real deal or another way to sell us some gummies?
You probably have a million questions about delta 11 products. And we have the answers. So let’s do this.
Rest assured, delta 11 THC is a very real, potent, and fascinating cannabinoid product coming soon to a store near you. Anyone familiar with the recent spate of hemp cannabinoids to hit the scene won’t be surprised to learn that delta 11 is only found in small concentrations in hemp — though it is naturally occurring. Like delta 8, HHC, and many others, it holds much potential even though there’s not much of it.
So if delta 11 is only found in tiny amounts in nature, how do retailers sell it to consumers? They can produce enough by using cannabinoid conversion processes that mimic those found in nature. In other words, they can convert CBD in delta 11.
You’re probably aware of the recent discoveries of the cannabinoids THCP and THCH by a team of Italian scientists. It’s exciting, especially in this day and age, to learn about new cannabis compounds. Though, we caution everyone to be careful and temper that excitement. None of it is “new” in the true sense of the word. THCP has been around forever. We only just learned about it.
With that out of the way, delta 11 is pretty old by those standards. It was initially discovered when Richard Nixon was president and broke into the Watergate Hotel. Scientists learned about the compound in the 1970s, with the earliest mentions of delta 11 appearing in a study from 1974. Scientists last researched it sometime in the 1990s before falling off the radar — an actual Unsolved Mysteries type of deal. But now, like Slim Shady, it’s back again.
And now that it’s back, delta 11 is causing much confusion.
It seems that everyone has seen the number 11 in “delta 11” and gone and confused it with 11-hydroxy-THC. It’s as if people started thinking that Dr. Dre was a real doctor — “but his name is doctor, what do you mean he can’t perform open heart surgery?” So, to clarify things, we’ll spell it out nicely and simply. Hopefully, it ends any confusion. Delta 11 THC is not the same thing as 11-hydroxy-THC. They are different. How? They both differ as follows:
Are the highs (and lows) different from both? 11-hydroxy-THC gives users a quick, sustained, euphoric high. Delta 11 THC, according to early reports, offers you a lasting, euphoric high that is highly enjoyable. The euphoria from the latter is said to be turned up to 11.
Early user reports argue that delta 11 THC is anywhere from one to seven times stronger than traditional cannabis. These are based on anecdotal evidence and nothing official, but many users report similar feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and joy at similar levels. All agree it’s stronger than cannabis and long-lasting. Most users say that Delta 11 THC lasts exceptionally long, so caution should be taken when dosing. Don’t take too much for fear of not coming down.
Other benefits of delta 11 products may include the following:
The research on Delta 11 doesn’t say much. While we have scientific data from the past five decades, it’s spotty at best and rarely details the effects of this compound. Even the user reports are difficult to parse, mainly because the few delta 11 products on the market today are part of larger blends. Delta 11 will typically be paired with HHC or delta 8. Users can’t tell which compound is peaking and when.
Most new compounds, delta 8, HHC, or THCP, are created similarly. While these compounds are found naturally in hemp, they're only available in small concentrations. The same goes for delta 11. There just isn’t enough viable compound for manufacturers to extract. It wouldn’t be prudent from a cost-benefit analysis.
Yet, through the miracle of nature — not that miracle — scientists can convert other cannabinoids into delta 11.
How is it possible that delta 11 is now on store shelves if it’s barely a viable cannabinoid? It’s a simple process of cannabinoid conversion. Today, chemists can transform CBD or CBG into delta 8, HHC, or even delta 11. And while it may appear to create a synthetic cannabinoid in the end, the resulting compound is natural. Cannabinoid conversions occur naturally, and chemists simply mimic those processes in the lab.
Congress passed the Farm Bill in 2018 and legalized hemp and its derivatives. CBD was the first to hit stores, but soon, a slew of new and exciting cannabinoid products followed. The market initially looked to non-psychoactive products like CBG and CBN, thinking that cannabis legalization would also sweep across the country. But psychotropic hemp compounds appeared when that began to falter, and hemp became legal. Delta 8, 10, HHC, THCH, THCP, and others hit the scene.
They're now federally legal, as is delta 11 THC.
Still, several states ban psychoactive compounds made from hemp. While Delta 11 is federally legal, as it contains less than 0.3% THC, it might be prohibited in your state — however, details are still murky. Delta 11 isn't explicitly mentioned in any legislation, but there's a chance it might fall under blanket analog laws. The following states may give you a hard time, so be careful:
While research on delta 11 does exist, it’s a bit out of date and incomplete. We’re confident that delta 11 is safe — it comes from hemp, after all. As we all know, hemp is one of the safest plants on Earth. Still, users should take precautions with any new and unknown compounds. Some reports show that delta 11 may have the following side effects when used in excess:
Stop using delta 11 immediately if any of the above occurs.
Is delta 11 as potent as HHC? Will I enjoy delta 11 as much as I enjoy THCP products? Everyone wants to know how cannabinoids compare, and it’s no different with delta 11. With so many cannabinoids on the market today, it's hard to compare them all. However, it's a crucial question to ask. So, how does delta 11 compare to other cannabinoids available on the market? Let’s find out!
Delta 9 is everyone’s favorite cannabinoid. Moreover, it’s the one everyone is familiar with and the compound against which all others are measured. Is delta 11 more potent than delta 9? According to users — and this is less than scientific — delta 11 is 1.5 to seven times stronger than delta 9.
Delta 8 THC is a mild cannabinoid. It offers users a smooth, subtle high and has a calming effect. Compared to delta 11, delta 8 may not get you blasted, but you won't experience anxiety or paranoia like you will with the super potent stuff. Delta 11 is much, much stronger than Delta 8 THC.
You can use delta 10 THC when you need energy or concentration. If you want creativity or a burst of energy, you can use delta 10. D10 is what you should use when working late at night or cleaning all day. However, Delta 11 will make you sit on the couch all day doing nothing. In the end, these are two very different cannabinoids.
We're about to get into the strong stuff. These cannabinoids are all super-strong and should be used cautiously. In comparison to cannabis, THCH products have a 25-fold power, and THCP has a 33-fold strength. It's the difference between zonked, blitzed, and wacky. Delta 11 is likely to hover somewhere between HHC and THCH.
