Let’s keep it simple
At HabitCBD, we believe hemp should be clear and easy to understand. That’s why we wrote this guide about Delta-9 THC.
People ask us about Delta-9 all the time. Maybe you’ve seen gummies or sodas with it and thought, “okay, but what is this really?” Or maybe you just heard the name and aren’t sure how it fits into daily life.
We get it — hemp terms can feel confusing. So here’s the plain version, the way we’d explain it if you were standing at our counter asking about it.
So… what is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC is part of hemp and cannabis plants. It’s been there forever. When people say “THC,” they usually mean this one.
The big thing today? You don’t need to light anything up to try it. Now it comes in gummies, drinks, syrups, and other simple products. That makes it easier to use in everyday life — whether you’re chilling at home or sharing a soda with friends.
Where does Delta-9 come from?
Delta-9 has always been part of cannabis. What changed is how people make it available.
In the past, Delta-9 was tied mostly to marijuana. Now, with new methods, it can also be pulled from hemp plants.
That matters because hemp is legal under federal rules in the U.S. as long as the product stays under 0.3% THC by dry weight. That’s why you now see hemp-based Delta-9 in gummies, sodas, and syrups at shops like ours.
Hemp Delta-9 vs. Cannabis Delta-9
This one confuses a lot of people, so let’s break it down.
- Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC → comes from hemp. It’s legal on the federal level if the product has 0.3% THC or less.
- Cannabis-derived Delta-9 THC → comes from marijuana. Only legal in states that allow cannabis.
At HabitCBD, we stick with hemp-derived. It keeps everything compliant and backed by lab testing. That way, you know exactly what you’re buying.
Best Ways to Enjoy Delta-9
Everyone has their own style. Some like something chewy, others want a drink. Here are the main ways people use Delta-9, and the kinds we focus on at HabitCBD.
Gummies: Our Habit Delta-9 THC Gummies are chewy, tasty, and easy to toss in a bag. Gummies take longer to kick in since they go through digestion, but they also last longer. Many folks enjoy them in the evening or when they want something steady and simple.

Edibles: Edibles aren’t just gummies. They can be chocolates, baked snacks, or other infused treats. They work the same way — slower to start, longer to last — but give more flavor options. Great if you like variety.
Drinks & Beverages: This is where it gets fun. Delta-9 drinks are light, refreshing, and usually quicker than gummies. Our Habit Delta-9 THC Sodas are crisp and flavorful, perfect for hanging out with friends.
Drinks also come in a few styles:
- Sodas: fizzy, sweet, and classic.
- Seltzers: light, bubbly, and low sugar.
- Syrups: our Habit Delta-9 Syrups let you mix your own mocktails at home.
- Shots: small, quick, and easy to take on the go.

How to Pick Good Delta-9 products
Not all Delta-9 is made the same. Here’s what we tell people to check:
- Hemp-derived → make sure it comes from hemp and follows the 0.3% rule.
- Lab-tested → good brands show third-party results so you know what’s inside.
- Clear labels → serving size and ingredients should be easy to read.
- Steady quality → the best products feel the same every time you buy them.
These are the same steps we follow at HabitCBD with our gummies, sodas, and syrups. It’s how we make sure you know exactly what you’re getting.
