Strongest Cannabinoids 2024: What You Need to Know About Potency

It’s Friday, the vibes are wildin, and we are looking forward to getting afterwork ZOOTED AND ZONKED. You guys feel me on this?? Good, because I drafted up this nifty guide about the strongest cannabinoids on the market, so you know exactly what to look for in blends! And before my more mellow friends dip, this guide is for you too! I’m going to rank cannabinoids in terms of perceived potency, so everyone can choose their favorite blends based on the vibe they’re seeking. What are we waiting for? Let’s goooo! 

THCP: The Strongest Cannabinoid

Many consider THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol) to be the strongest cannabinoid, and for very good reason. This molecule features seven carbon side chains, which makes it 33x more effective at binding to the endocannabinoid receptors. This means it is roughly 10x more potent than Delta 9 THC, which is why most blends feature this cannabinoid in sparing amounts. This is a profoundly intense cannabinoid that brings on euphoric feelings and definitely levels up any product it’s in. That’s why we incorporate this cannabinoid into most of our blends, just at different amounts. Our Liquid Badder Disposable showcases THCP boldly for strong hits, and our Adios Hemp Flower is infused with THCP for a smooth smoke.

THCJD: Highly Potent (and Controversial)

Perhaps the most controversial cannabinoid, THCJD is a bit of a wild card. It has eight carbon side chains and binds to the endocannabinoid system 19 times more effectively than Delta 9 THC. Despite having more side chains than the illustrious THCP, this cannabinoid ranks with a lower potency due to its sedative effects. It brings on a robust body high that’ll have you glued to your seat, making this one a go-to for a chill night in. We recommend grabbing either the Lights Out Gummies or a Wreck’d Disposable for full body bliss, brought on by the expert blending of THCJD.

THCH: A Powerhouse Cannabinoid

Tetrahydrocannabihexol is a heavy hitter. There’s a bit of debate over whether it’s stronger than THCJD, but with just six carbon side chains, we’re ranking it a notch lower. Don’t get it twisted though—THCH is far from weak! This cannabinoid tends to have a trippy, psychedelic effect that users claim lasts longer than your usual THC experience. This makes it perfect for the Lights Out Collection, where THCH brings a higher high and a longer ride. If you’re up for a mind-bending adventure, THCH might be your new best friend.

Delta 9 THC: The Original Cannabinoid

Delta 9 THC is the cannabinoid that’s got the whole world talking. When it comes from marijuana, it’s just called “THC” and is the main psychoactive ingredient. But when it’s derived from hemp, it gets the special title of Delta 9 THC and is federally legal if it’s less than 0.3% in blends. Don’t get confused though, Hemp-Derived Delta 9 THC is just as potent as its marijuana counterpart. Paired with stronger cannabinoids, it can make hemp blends even more appealing than traditional cannabis. Our Essentials Vape Device proves this by blending Delta-9 with THCP for an off the charts experience. If you want something more mellow or reminiscent of typical THC, the Delta 9 Gummies feature 10mg per bite for a functional bliss.

HHC: A Reemerging Trend

HHC is the current trending cannabinoid. It is similar in potency to Delta 9 THC, which is why it’s making a comeback. Being less regulated than Delta 9, it’s ideal to blend with stronger cannabinoids for higher potency products. Delta Extrax introduced HHC vapes and gummies back in 2022, and while we shifted focus to more exciting cannabinoids, the resurgence in HHC’s popularity hints at some cool new blends on the horizon.

Delta 8 THC: The Foundation

Delta 8 THC is about 70% as potent as Delta 9 THC, which is why many joke that it’s “Diet Weed.” This cannabinoid is the foundation for most of the blends here at Delta Extrax, and at many other companies. Its milder nature makes it super approachable, providing a solid base for more potent cannabinoids to shine. You’ll find Delta 8 in the majority of products here at Delta Extrax since it keeps blends from being overwhelming or too strong. It pairs perfectly with any cannabinoid, but we especially love it with heavy hitters like THCP in our Adios Gummies, or with THCJD in our Lights Out Disposables.

Delta 10 THC: The Mellow Cannabinoid

If you’re after something a bit lighter, Delta 10 THC might be your jam. Often described as psychotropic rather than psychoactive, Delta 10 offers a laid-back, relaxed experience. It’s perfect for those who want to keep things manageable while still enjoying a smooth ride. Delta 10 THC helps balance stronger cannabinoids, making it a great option to blend with THCP, like in our Live Resin Disposables, or with THCH in our Lights Out Cartridges.

CBD: The Most Popular Cannabinoid

Cannabidol is the primary cannabinoid found in the hemp plant, and it is perhaps the most commonly known. CBD won’t get you high, but it will help you unwind, making it a popular choice for sleep aids or daily supplements. With its functional benefits, it’s no surprise that more Delta companies are starting to mix it into their products. Some of our newest products like the Adios MF Cartridges feature CBD in their blends, and of course our Adios Hemp Flower packs a generous amount of soothing CBD.

THCA: A Precursor Full of Potential

Many of you might be shocked to see THCA so low on this list, but the OGs knew this was coming. THCA is the precursor to Delta-9 THC, and in its raw form, it doesn’t get you high. In this inert state, it is a lot like CBD and has very similar benefits and effects. However, it doesn’t take that much heat to activate THCA. Once warmed up, its carboxylic acid group is shed and becomes psychoactive. That’s why THCA is such an exciting and versatile cannabinoid, and has become so trendy. When combined with THCP, it makes a potent combination with intense effects. Try our Adios MF Gummies to feel it for yourself! Or check out our Diamond Heights THCA Flower for such an incredible experience you won’t even believe that it’s hemp!
