Delta-10

Delta-10 THC is a minor cannabinoid analog of delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. While delta-9 THC occurs abundantly in cannabis, delta-10 appears only in trace amounts naturally but can also be synthesized from CBD. Delta-10 provides milder intoxicating effects compared to the more potent delta-9 THC.

Delta-10 attracted interest as a semi-legal THC alternative following the rise of delta-8, another obscure cannabinoid. But delta-10 falls into the same gray legal territory as delta-8. Few states have expressly legalized or regulated delta-10, while broader bans on THC could still cover delta-10 too. For cannabis consumers seeking a more relaxed, subdued high, delta-10's subtle effects hold some appeal. However, little research exists on the long-term impacts and safety of delta-10 THC. Buyer beware when trying novel THC analogs - their long-term health effects remain uncertain. For some, delta-10's mellow, familiar buzz may not be worth the potential risks of an unstudied compound.
