Tetrahydrocannabioctyl (THCjd) is a unique and rare cannabinoid produced naturally by the cannabis plant. It can also be made synthetically. As the hemp market grows, many previously unknown cannabinoids have come under the spotlight in recent years. And while there are many options to choose from, one of them stands out—THCjd. 

In this post, we’ll go in-depth to tell you what is THCjd? And what makes it unique. 

How is THCjd Different From Delta 9?

To really tell you about the differences between these two cannabinoids, we need to start by getting technical. The most significant difference between THCjd and Delta 9 is that the former has an 8-carbon alkyl sidechain while the latter has a 5-carbon alkyl sidechain. This affects how THCjd binds to cannabinoid receptors in the body and explains why THCjd is 19 times stronger than Delta 9. Yes, you read that right! THCjd is also 25 times stronger than Delta 8. 

This makes THCjd an excellent option for people who want a more potent “high.”Excited to hear more? Let’s talk about the effects of THCjd.

What are the Effects of THCjd?

THCjd produces a much more powerful psychotropic effect than what you’ll get from any other cannabinoid. Some users have described THCjd as having the same intense euphoric and sedating effects that some Indica strains produce. But be prepared, due to its high potency, THCjd may leave you blissfully couch-locked. It is a great option when you want to relax or combat stress. 

Note: THCjd products may not be suitable for newbies. The high it produces may be overwhelming. We recommend using THCjd products sparingly. Use a small amount, and observe the effects before upping your dose.

What are the Therapeutic Benefits of THCjd?

While there are only preliminary studies into THCjd, anecdotal evidence indicates that it may have some therapeutic benefits. Some of the purported benefits of THCjd include:

• Pain relief
• Reduce inflammation
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Nausea relief
• Insomnia relief 
• Appetite enhancer

Is THCjd Legal?

THCjd is produced in small quantities by the cannabis plant—less than 1 percent. As a result, manufacturers convert hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) to THCjd. This makes it federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. It is important to note that only THCjd products made with CBD sourced from hemp are legal. 

At Modus, we believe in transparency. All our products are made with extracts sourced from hemp plants grown in the U.S., and a third-party laboratory tests them before they hit the shelves. We make these lab test results available at our store, so you know exactly what you’re consuming. 

THCjd Products to Try

If you’re intrigued by the above information, you’re no doubt looking to try a THCjd product.

The new Modus Uppercut Blend captures what makes THCjd special. Although this product is not purely THC-jd, we have created a balanced blend composed of THC-H, THCjd, and Delta 8 live resin. The incorporation of these additional cannabinoids allows you to enjoy the intense potency of THCjd without its effects being overwhelming, giving you a more well-rounded high.

The result is a rich, satisfying extract that is super flavorful and delivers a potent high. If you want a preloaded device for an easy vaping experience, you can opt for our Uppercut disposable vaporizer. However, if you want more control over your vaping experience, our THCjd cartridge is a better choice and slightly more cost effective starting at $38.99 – a huge bargain for a massive 2 gram cart. Both devices have a cannabinoid concentration level of 2000mg. You can choose from strains like:

• Alaskan Thunderfuck - This Sativa strain has a strong, complex flavor with notes of cedar, pine, lemon, menthol, and skunk. There’s also a bit of nuttiness and earthiness to it.
