What Is The “Spiritual Cannabinoid”?
THC-O acetate is a potent cannabinoid that is quickly gaining popularity in the United States. While its legal status is somewhat still up in the air, many producers claim that it is protected under the 2018 farm bill. THC-O is known for its potency, believed to be roughly three times more potent than Delta 9 THC.
Some users have taken to calling it the “spiritual cannabinoid,” and it is said to have some of the more noticeable psychedelic effects of THC. In this blog post, we’ll dive deeper into what THC-O acetate is and why it’s become so popular in recent years.
What is THC-O Acetate?
THC-O acetate is a form of THC that is quickly gaining popularity in some states. While this compound is not naturally occurring, it shouldn’t necessarily be considered a synthetic cannabinoid like dangerous K2 or Spice since it’s created using hemp-derived THC.
It is produced when acetic anhydride is combined with Delta-8 THC molecules. When consumed in gummies or vaporized, THC-O produces potent psychoactive effects. THC-O has developed a large following for two reasons – its legal status and its potency.
Legal Status Of THC-O
In places where state-licensed delta-9 THC products aren’t legal and accessible, THC-O serves as a potent alternative. This is especially true as some states have begun to scrutinize Delta-8 THC. While its legal status is somewhat still up in the air, producers claim that it is protected under the 2018 farm bill, as it is a hemp product.
“The Psychedelic Cannabinoid”
THC-O is known for its potency, believed to be significantly stronger than regular THC. Some users have taken to calling it the “spiritual cannabinoid,” and it is considered to be psychedelic. Many THC-O users have anecdotally claimed that this version of THC offers noticeably surreal and uplifting effects compared to other forms of THC.
It’s also highly bioavailable – meaning that it can be easily absorbed into the body by eating it. However, it should be noted that consuming high doses of THC can result in adverse effects such as anxiety or paranoia. Therefore, it is important to start with a low dose and increase gradually as needed.
