Frequently Asked Questions

About our Products

• What is DELTA 8?

  Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, aka “Delta 8” or simply “D8,” is a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant. D8 is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally by the cannabis plant but is not found in significant amounts in any currently bred cultivars.  As a result, concentrated amounts of delta-8 THC are typically manufactured from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD).

• What is THC-O? How is it different from Delta-8?

  THC-O is an acetylated version of Delta-8 THC. Basically, acetylation occurs when the Delta-8 is combined with a pharmaceutical-grade reagent that makes the Delta-8 more easily absorbed by your body, giving typically a far greater effect than regular Delta-8. This is the exact same process that takes willow bark, a source of salicylic acid, and transforms it into aspirin. 

• What is HHC?

  Hexahydrocannabinol, or HHC for short, is a hydrogenated version of Delta-8. Hydrogenation is a process that improves stability and shelf-life of Delta-8. And since HHC technically isn’t a “THC”, it is 100% legal in places where THC variants have been outlawed.

• I thought Delta-9 THC was illegal? Do I need a medical card to purchase items that contain Delta-9 THC?

  Delta-9 THC is the predominant cannabinoid that provides the “high” from cannabis. The 2018 Farm Bill specifically defines hemp as any cultivar of cannabis  that contains no more than .3% Delta-9 THC. This .3% or less Delta-9 content also applies to packaged goods so long as the source of Delta-9 THC is hemp. So, for example, our Delta-9 Gummies each weigh 5g and contain 12mg of Delta-9 THC per gummy. This makes the total concentration of Delta-9 at .24%, complying with the Federal regulations for hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. And as long as the Delta-9 comes from hemp, no medical card is needed. Twisted Brands sells exclusively hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products.

• Are Twisted Brands’ products legal?
  Do they contain THC?

  All Twisted Brands’ products are 3rd-party lab tested to contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight and fully compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill making them 100% legal on the Federal level. Please refer to the specific laws in your state for more information concerning the legal possession and use of hemp-based products.

• Will I test positive on a drug test if I consume Delta-8 THC products?

  The short answer is: Yes…well, maybe. Our bodies metabolize Delta-8 THC in the same way it does its federally-illegal cousin Delta-9 THC and since drug tests test for the metabolites of drugs and not the actual drug themselves, you may test positive for THC after consuming a product containing Delta-8 THC, THCO, or any analogue thereof.  Many factors come into play with how long cannabinoids remain in the system including dosage, method of administration, frequency of use, body composition, etc.
