Considering that the most popular and classic cannabinoid, Delta 9 THC, is still banned at the federal level, manufacturers have gone to the lab to find alternative THCs that will get the job done. Given how far the industry has come, many people are familiar with Delta 8 THC or THCV and Delta 10. However, there are many more cannabinoids out there, and more are on the horizon. The latest cannabinoid making waves in the industry is THCjd.

Different types of THC

Despite being a newbie, you should be relatively used to Delta 9 THC as it affects the mind and its response to levels. Basically, many consumers are aware that THC is the dominant psychoactive compound in cannabis.

THC is what gets consumers high from weed. However, what many are unaware of is the number of THC variants that exist, how they differ from each other, and which one is more potent. It wasn’t long before the cannabis industry became obsessed with synthesizing and accessing hundreds of cannabis seeds. This was true of both variants synthesized in the marijuana plant, as well as several isomers and analogues.

As is THC, and the idea of ​​synthesizing different variants of THC has thrown open the door of discussion in some circles. Discussions about different chain lengths of THCV, THC-O, THC-H, THCB, THCP and many more are now going on. This variation in chain length is also said to apply to other cannabinoids such as HHC.

You should also note that these are all synthetic cannabinoids. However, the definition of “synthetic cannabinoids” applies in two dimensions. First, synthetic cannabinoids are compounds formulated in the laboratory that do not occur in nature, e.g. B. THC-O. Second, synthetic cannabinoids are compounds that only occur in minute amounts in nature. Therefore, to be used in large quantities in consumer products, they must be manufactured in the laboratory. E.g. Delta 8 THC.

What is THCjd?

As for some of the newest cannabinoid compounds like THCjd, to be precise there is little to no information available on the compound. In most cases, little information about THCjd is provided by the brand trying to sell their products.

THCjd is a remarkable and naturally occurring cannabinoid made from the separation containing various cannabinoids. It is also popularly called a phytocannabinoid and is considered to be more potent than regular THC.

THCjd (Tetrahydrocannabioctyl) is an 8-carbon side chain that is said to be 19 times more potent than THC. This is thanks to its long carbon side chain. The theory behind this is that the longer a cannabinoid side chain, the more THC binds to the receptors.

For a time, THCP, with a 7-carbon side chain, was considered the cannabinoid with the longest carbon side chain and the most potent. For now, THCjd seems to have taken the position that makes it the strongest cannabinoid in this market.

According to the manufacturer, THCjd is extracted directly from hemp or cannabis. This means that producing the compound requires no more chemical modification than the usual method of THC processing.

Honestly, there is still a lot to learn about THCjd as information about this compound is still lacking. But the few results so far suggest that more research is being done behind the scenes and more should be known about cannabinoids soon enough.

Meanwhile, the general consensus on the compound is that it is a potent cannabinoid that is very safe for consumption and induces an indica-like, couchlock high. As things stand, possession and consumption of THCjd is legal as there are no laws governing consumption and possession of this cannabinoid.

Conclusion

If you’re a newbie and want to experience something different, THCjd is definitely a cannabinoid to try. While enough information about the product is still lacking, one can do more personal research on various cannabis websites or check out various YouTube channels. However, in the experience of many, THCjd is a safe cannabinoid worth experiencing.
