THC-M vs Delta 11: Which Cannabinoid Works Better?

A lot of cannabinoids are emerging right now, and it would be a mistake to think that they’re all going to give you the same experience.  Each component of hemp is unique, with its own properties and potential for a high.

Two that are particularly new and misunderstood are THCM and delta 11 THC – and we know so little about them through research that it’s easy to understand why.  But, let’s take a look at what we do know about these two hemp compounds, to see what they have in common, and how they differ.

Why Choose THCM?

THCM Origin

THCM (11-Nor-Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol-9-Carboxylic Acid {Carboxy-THC})  is a byproduct of cannabis that was discovered in 1997.  Never has it been actually isolated in the cannabis plant, meaning that technically, there’s no proof that it even exists in raw cannabis.  Rather, it has been identified in cannabis smoke, and is used as a biomarker to confirm that a fetus has been exposed to cannabis while in utero.

THCM’s Psychoactive Properties

As of now, we don’t actually know about THCM’s psychoactive properties.  Whether or not the cannabinoid is intoxicating has yet to be confirmed, but one thing that we do know is that if it is psychoactive, the effects are likely to be extremely mild.  And, without knowing whether or not it’s capable of even getting a person high, we don’t know if the potential high would be more euphoric, uplifting, sedating, etc. 

Purpose for Taking THCM

THCM is quite hard to find right now, and for the time-being, we’ve only seen it in vaping products, in combination with other cannabinoids that do deliver well-known psychoactive effects.  Because of that, it’s clear that at least for now, THCM’s purpose is to potentiate the effects of other cannabinoids, and even enhance the entourage effect.

THCM’s Legality 

THCM is, in fact, a legal cannabinoid according to federal law, when it comes from the hemp plant, because of the Farm Bill, which passed in 2018, and legalized any hemp product that contains a maximum of 0.3% delta 9 THC.  THCM may sound a lot like delta 9 THC in its name, but ultimately, it’s a different compound.

One thing that you need to know, however, is that 19 states have banned all THC cannabinoids, and THCM would fall into that category.  So, you should assume that THCM is illegal in:

• Alaska
• Arizona
• Arkansas
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Hawaii
• Idaho
• Iowa
• Maryland
• Mississippi
• Montana
• Nevada
• New York
• North Dakota
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Utah
• Vermont
• Washington

Why Choose Delta 11 THC?

Delta 11 THC Origin

Delta 11 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in hemp first discovered in the early 1970s, and it’s a very rare cannabinoid that isn’t widely available on the market.  Overall, we don’t know much about it at all, other than the fact that it’s psychoactive.  

Delta 11 THC’s Psychoactive Properties

We’re still learning about the effects delta 11 can offer, again because the cannabinoid is so new and not really widely available on the market, but one study suggested that it’s about 3 times as intoxicating as delta 9 THC.  

Purpose for Taking Delta 11 THC

Delta 11 THC is used for its high, as it’s reported to be stronger than delta 9 THC.  

Delta 11 THC’s Legality 

Delta 11 THC, like THCM, is federally legal because it complies with the Farm Bill, but for the same reasons, it’s banned in the 19 states listed above.

Final Decision: THCM and Delta 11 THC – The Choice is Yours!

THCM and delta 11 THC are two intriguing and mysterious hemp derivatives, both of which we hope to learn a lot more about in the near future.  For the time-being, both are pretty hard to find on the market, but we reckon that this will change very soon, as demand for both is clearly growing.

What we can say is that you shouldn’t be surprised to see THCM and delta 11 paired with one another, given what we know about their synergistic relationship.  And of course, as always, we encourage you to try each one on its own at Binoid, to then see what it can do for you.
