delta-9
Marijuana's main psychoactive
Delta-9 is shorthand for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis—the chemical responsible for the high.
The term gained currency as hemp-derived products proliferated, distinguishing delta-9 THC from less potent variants like delta-8: Is this delta-9 or delta-8?
Often used attributively: delta-9 gummies, delta-9 edibles.
