What is Delta-6?

Delta-6 is a term that you may have come across in the world of cannabinoids, but it can be a bit confusing given the array of similar-sounding compounds out there. To clarify, Delta-6 refers to a specific cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. While it isn’t as widely known as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol), it has its own unique properties and potential benefits that make it worth exploring. 

Delta-6, also known as Delta-6-THC or Δ6-THC, is one of these lesser-known cannabinoids. It’s a variant of THC, similar to Delta-8-THC and Delta-9-THC, which are more familiar to most people. Delta-9-THC is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, while Delta-8-THC is known for providing a milder high.

Delta-6 is an intriguing cannabinoid that offers potential benefits similar to other forms of THC, but with possibly milder psychoactive effects. While research is still limited, the anecdotal evidence points towards its utility in pain relief, anxiety reduction, appetite stimulation, and neuroprotection.
