With new varieties of legal THC popping up all over, you may be wondering: what’s the difference between delta-8, delta-9, and delta-10 THC? The short answer is that it all depends on the legality, how much THC is mixed in each strain, and how you use it. Delta-8, 9, and 10 can also affect people differently, depending on the user’s height, weight, and—most importantly—their tolerance.
What is Delta-10?
Delta-10-tetrahydrocannabinol is newly discovered cannabinoid derived from hemp, which is a type of cannabis. The effects of delta-10 are similar to those of delta-8. Benefits include stress relief, anxiety and depression relief, nausea prevention, improved appetite, and mild psychoactive effects.
Anecdotally, Delta-8 may be stronger than Delta-10, though research is still trying to answer why. Of the three, delta-9 is considered the most potent, as it’s the cannabinoid people are usually referring to when they talk about the THC high associated with smoking marijuana.

Delta-8, 9, and 10 THC
Delta-8 induces feelings of relaxation, and it has the similar benefits to Delta-10, like nausea, anxiety, and depression relief. It also has other health benefits which may help improve insomnia and stress. Delta-8 is legal in most states because it is derived from hemp, not cannabis.
When people refer to “THC,” they’re typically talking about delta-9. Delta-9 is known for its psychoactive effects and the conventional high people get from smoking marijuana. It is derived from cannabis rather than hemp.
Delta-10 is the newest and most popular form of CBD. When compared to the relaxing effects of delta-8 and 9, delta-10 may provide an energizing effect. Delta-10 is legal in most states, and is derived from the hemp plant, like delta-8.
