Kentuckians may be known to revel in all things bourbon and horses, but there is more to enjoy in the Bluegrass State than a mint julep at the Derby. Whether you live full-time in Kentucky or are visiting on a pilgrimage to Churchill Downs (or to cheer on the Wildcats), you may wonder if you can legally purchase Delta 9 THC products in the state. Read on for the good news below!

Is Delta 9 THC Legal to Purchase in Kentucky?

The most important piece of legislation regarding Delta 9 THC products came from the 2018 Farm Bill. Once this law was enacted in the US, a new distinction was made between hemp and marijuana, setting in motion a series of state laws that covered how Delta 9 THC products are distributed.

Kentucky’s response to the 2018 Farm Bill came in the form of Ky. Rev. Stat. 260.850, allowing for the licensed production of hemp as an agricultural commodity. In layman’s terms, hemp-derived Delta 9 THC with less than 0.3% dry weight is legal. So if you are looking for refreshment and relaxation in the Bluegrass State, a Delta 9 THC gummy, drink mix, or other product is available to enjoy legally!

Delta 9 Versus Delta 8: What is the Difference?

If you are new to Delta 9 gummies and drink mixes, you may wonder how they differ from Delta 8.

The two are certainly similar, but Delta 9 and Delta 8 can be differentiated by their molecular structures. You don’t need an advanced science degree to understand what we can explain in basic terms:

• In Delta 8 THC, there is a double bond on the eighth carbon in its carbon link
• In Delta 9 THC, there is a double bond on the ninth carbon in its carbon link
• This slight but important difference has an impact on how the two different types of THC affect our bodies
• Delta 9 THC creates a stronger euphoric effect than Delta 8 THC 

People react differently to Delta 9 and Delta 8, with numerous factors playing into this. Your weight, metabolism, and age can all determine how you experience the effects of THC. Delta 8 THC might give you a relaxing and mellow buzz, but Delta 9 THC products are some of the absolute best for a euphoric uplift.

Is Delta 9 Only Found in Marijuana?

A common misconception about Delta 9 THC is that it can only be extracted from the marijuana plant. This is why some people assume Delta 9 THC is illegal. However, if Delta 9 THC is derived from hemp in concentrations less than 0.3% dry weight, it is indeed legal.

Hemp-derived Delta 9 THC can be used in gummies, drink mixes, and other products for a legal (and enjoyable!) buzz.
