As cannabis grows in popularity, it's important to understand the difference between its two primary varieties: hemp and marijuana. Both come from the Cannabis sativa species, yet each offers unique benefits. At XITE Edibles, we proudly use hemp-derived THC for our products, ensuring quality, consistency, and accessibility across the U.S. Let’s explore what makes hemp the ideal source for a balanced, enjoyable edible experience.
Why Hemp Stands Out
While hemp and marijuana both come from the Cannabis sativa plant, they’re cultivated for different uses:
- Hemp is prized for its versatility and contains minimal THC (less than 0.3%). Its fibers are used for various products, from textiles to foods, and it’s an ideal choice for creating non-psychoactive CBD and legal Delta 9 THC edibles. XITE’s hemp-based products maintain the therapeutic qualities of cannabis, without the intensity typically associated with marijuana.
- Marijuana, in contrast, contains higher THC levels and is primarily used for its psychoactive effects. While many enjoy marijuana for recreational purposes, its effects may be too intense for those seeking a milder experience.
Chemical Composition: The THC and CBD Balance in Hemp
Hemp’s naturally low THC content makes it an excellent source for CBD and legal Delta 9 THC:
- Hemp contains high levels of CBD and minimal THC, making it ideal for balanced cannabinoid products. XITE’s Delta 9 THC and CBD edibles offer a smoother, more controlled experience thanks to this natural combination.
- Marijuana contains much higher THC levels, which can be ideal for those seeking intense psychoactive effects but may be overpowering for others. Hemp’s balanced cannabinoid profile allows for a more controlled experience.
Legal Status: Why Hemp Is Accessible Nationwide
Hemp’s 2018 legalization via the U.S. Farm Bill allows companies like XITE Edibles to create compliant products that meet federal guidelines. Our hemp-derived Delta 9 THC edibles ensure quality and consistency while remaining accessible across the country. Unlike marijuana, which is regulated differently in each state, hemp-derived products offer a versatile, nationwide solution.
Applications: The Wellness Focus of Hemp-Based Edibles
Hemp’s unique chemical profile makes it perfect for wellness-focused products:
- Hemp-based edibles like our Strawberry Chews and Fruit Gummies provide an enjoyable, accessible way to incorporate the benefits of THC and CBD without the intense high. These products offer relaxation and comfort for various needs, from winding down to enjoying a holiday treat.
- Marijuana is often used in higher-THC forms for recreational or medical use, but for those seeking balanced effects, hemp offers a smoother experience.
