“Delta-9” is shorthand for Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or “THC” responsible for the products' intoxicating effect. Tilray Alternative Beverages uses Hemp Derived Delta-9 (HDD9) in our products.
The 2018 Farm Bill passed by the US Congress legalized cultivation and processing of “cannabis sativa” plants with low dosages of THC (commonly referred to as "hemp") - specifically those plants and products cannot exceed 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. All Tilray HDD9 products are Farm Bill Compliant.*
While the Farm Bill allows for the production on a federal level, Delta-9 regulations vary state-by-state. Many states have no current restriction, while some have restrictions on dosages or distribution, while others have outright bans.*
Yep – Since Delta-9 THC is the most abundant intoxicating compound in cannabis plants, the compound from hemp has a similar intoxicating effect as cannabis.
Tilray prides itself on safety and reliability. Our Delta-9 is sourced from premium growers and tested by an accredited and independent lab for quality and dosage. All our beverages will come with a certified analysis which we will make available publicly on our website.
THC affects everyone differently. It is an intoxicating substance, so it is recommended consumers who are new to Delta-9 start with smaller dosages and find the dosage that works best for their needs.
Due to the intoxicating nature of THC, people should use good judgement when using products and avoid operating a vehicle, machinery, or engage in similar activities when under the influence.
Yes – Hemp-Derived Delta-9 THC will show up on a drug test, similar to cannabis derived THC. Those who are prohibited from THC consumption due to their jobs or other circumstances should not consume Delta-9 products.
