What is the difference between hemp and cannabis?
Hemp and cannabis are two types of the same plant. The difference is how much THC they contain. THC is the substance in marijuana that makes people feel high. Hemp only has a little THC. By law it must contain less than 0.3% THC, or it’s considered cannabis.
What are "the deltas"?
Delta-8, delta-9, and delta-10 are some of the THC molecules that create the feeling of being high. They don’t all produce the same effect–delta-9 creates the strongest high, then delta-8, and then delta-10. All of the deltas are all found in both hemp and cannabis, but cannabis flower has much higher concentrations of them than hemp does.
What is hemp derived delta-9?
It’s possible to extract a different molecule from hemp plants and convert it to delta-9 THC. The reason this is popular right now is because it’s federally legal to make and sell products from hemp.
Is hemp derived THC legal in Minnesota?
Minnesota law allows for what are called "low-potency hemp derived products." Products made with hemp-derived delta THC are legal for consumers 21 and older, but only in doses of 5mg or less per serving, with a maximum of 10 servings (50mg of THC) per package. They must be edibles or beverages--vapes are not legal. In addition, all packaging must be child-resistant and not designed to appeal to children. They must be tested for potency, as well as for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and mold.
