5 Tips To Buy Delta 10 Of The Best Quality

Research into cannabis strains has resulted in the synthetic development of two forms of THC isomer called Delta 8 and Delta 10 among other variants. While all Delta 8 and 10 products have a significant amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) the compound that has a psychoactive effect, the latter has a lower amount of THC in it making it safer for beginners or users with a low tolerance threshold. 

It is worthwhile to note that the amount of THC in any Delta product will vary according to the conditions in which it is grown and the potency of the plant it is extracted from, not to mention the synthetic processes used for the finished product. Delta 10 has a clear tint to it and it can produce some intoxication although on a much lower level than what can be expected from Delta 8. Here are a few tips to buy the best Delta 10 you can find.

1. Is The Weight Compatible With The Percentage?

One lesser known tip for when you’re buying Delta 10 is that sometimes (depending on the company or the manufacturer) the weight of the product will not line up with the percentage of the THC they say is in it. Be sure to do a mental calculation of the THC percentage and whether it lines up with the weight in ounces, or mls. 

Reading the label of the product carefully is very important even if you are purchasing it online to know how much ‘total THC’ it contains. Not only will this information help you should you ever have to travel with the product but it will ensure you are correctly dosing yourself and not incurring side effects. 

The weight is a significant consideration for the type of Delta 10 product you have chosen. Tinctures and oils have a lower concentration of THC as do edibles like chocolate bars. Vaping cartridges or smoking versions are usually a lot more concentrated so know that weight factors into that when you’re making a purchase. If you’re a beginner to Delta products, while Delta 10 should be your first choice, consider if a more potent alternative like Delta 8 may not be more suitable for your needs. 


2. Buy Thoroughly Tested Products

As the demand for Cannabidiol products has exponentially increased in the past several years, a multitude of companies and brands have popped up manufacturing and selling CBD products as well as THC variants such as Delta 9 and 10. As a consumer, you should exclusively purchase from companies that either have testing facilities to ensure a level of quality standardization and control or have outsourced to reliable labs. 

Most THC and cannabis product tests will show how pure the product is, the exact concentration of THC and if the same quality level applies to all the batches produced within a given time period. A discrepancy in any of the above means the facility is simply not up to par and quality control is not the manufacturer’s priority. Regardless of whether you are purchasing a Delta 10 product from a brick and mortar outlet or a website, you can inquire and ask for test results or more information to make a better choice for your health. 


3. Product Safety

Product safety should be your topmost concern when buying any Delta 10 product. Some individuals are simply intolerant or can only tolerate THC rich products in lower concentrations. Purchase products that have certified safety levels to reduce the chances of an overdose or side effects or toxicity. In terms of safety the other consideration to bear in mind is that THC varies and affects the body through the mode of use as well. If you are smoking a Delta 10 product it will affect your system and deliver a ‘high’ far quicker than if you consumed an edible bar or an oil or even used a tincture. 


4. Extraction of Delta 10 

The mode of extraction being used by the company or the manufacturer you are buying from has an immense effect on quality and potency. Understanding in detail the raw materials that go into extracting Delta 10 can go a long way in helping you make better choices about the manufacturers to trust. In general there are two main extraction methods used for THC products and they are CO2 extraction and solvent based extraction. Solvents are easier to use and possibly less expensive but they can induce toxicity due to the residue they leave behind after the process. 

CO2 extraction is better since it doesn’t leave residue in the finished THC product. If you can find out from a reliable source that your chosen manufacturer prefers to use CO2 extraction over low quality solvents, you are one step into making a good choice. Delta 10 should ideally be free from extra toxic chemicals in order to ensure both purity and safety. 


5. Audit

Your chosen Delta 10 manufacturer should be following all government regulations about quality. Look for proof that the company has been vetted or audited by FDA or other regulatory authorities. In general, companies need to follow government laws closely if they want their permits renewed to sell in multiple states. It is usually a red flag if your manufacturer is unable to sell its products in states where cannabis has been legalized completely. 

When different regulatory authorities check and audit Delta 10 manufacturers or indeed any kind of CBD product manufacturers they keep tabs on the ingredients (extraction and the indoor or outdoor nature of growing the hemp or cannabis), the quality control and testing procedures, the packaging and even the claims the company is making to consumers. 

However, much like herbal extracts and natural supplements, authorities like the FDA do not issue absolute verdicts so consumers still need to pick and choose according to their own knowledge or the medical advice they have access to. Delta 10 products fall inside the natural products category and only pharmaceutical medicines are closely regulated.
