What is delta 10 THC?
Delta 10 THC was actually discovered by accident. It was found by Fusion Farms in California when extracting THC distillate from a batch of cannabis that was contaminated with fire retardant. It formed these mysterious crystals that were originally misidentified as the cannabinoids CBC and CBL, and then properly identified as delta 10 THC, after months of research. Today, delta 10 is made using a conversion process similar to the one used for producing delta 8 concentrate. This is also the secret behind its clear appearance.
Does delta 10 THC get you high?
Sativa strains provide effects that tend to be more uplifting and cerebral, making them better suited for daytime application. Especially compared to delta 8 gummies which tend to provide more of the sedative and couch-locking effects associated with indica strains.
Keep in mind that delta 10 THC could still potentially cause you to fail a drug test. Most testing facilities are not yet able to distinguish between various THC isomers. That means it could come up as positive for delta 9 THC. If you know you will be subjected to any kind of drug testing, you should avoid using delta 10 THC products altogether.

Is delta 10 THC legal?
However, the circuit court decision only applies to federal law. Individual states still have the ability to ban or restrict sales and possession of delta 10 and other hemp-derived cannabinoids. Delta 8 THC—which was the first hemp-derived cannabinoid to gain popularity—has already been banned in many states, or restricted to state-regulated cannabis dispensaries. The same could happen with delta 10 and related substances like HHC and THCP.

I started my vaping journey over ten years ago, quitting smoking while developing a strong interest in the technology that made it possible. I proudly became one of Vaping360's earliest contributors in 2015. Since then, I have authored hundreds of articles and reviews on topics ranging from e-cigs to cannabis vaporizers. After a brief hiatus, I have returned to Vaping360 as a freelance writer to continue sharing my knowledge and expertise about vaping with the world. When not writing content, I enjoy riding my bicycle and working on music at my home studio.
