🌿 Welcome to Tennessee Cannabiz

Educating on the past, advocating for the present, and cultivating Tennessee’s legal cannabis future.
— Tenn Canna

Tennessee Cannabiz has been here since the beginning of the hemp era — and we’re not stopping anytime soon.

Our roots stretch back to 2008–2018, when we advocated for hemp legalization under Hemp Werx. That decade of work laid the foundation for the conversations Tennessee is still having today. When the Farm Bill passed in 2018, we shifted gears and rebranded as Tennessee Cannabiz — dedicated to tracking, reporting, and amplifying the rise of cannabis in the Volunteer State.

Tennessee Cannabiz is a news-gathering, research-driven, advocacy-minded machine. Even without big funding, we believe in putting ideas on the table. If it exists, we’ll report on it. If it doesn’t exist, we’ll call for it.

🌱 Our Mission

To see Tennessee — The Agriculture State — become the world’s leader in the cannabis business, aka The Cannabiz.

  • 🌿 Supporting hemp as a sustainable, restorative crop.
  • 🔬 Highlighting the opportunities of cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, THCa, and Delta-9.
  • ⚖ Advocating for legalization paired with smart, fair oversight — not knee-jerk bans or power grabs from alcohol regulators.
  • 💡 Pushing for innovation, from soil remediation to renewable plastics, textiles, and beyond.
  • 📣 Giving voice to farmers, shop owners, patients, and entrepreneurs across the state.

🚜 Why We Exist

Cannabis isn’t going away. The question is: Will Tennessee lead, or will we fall behind?

We believe our state has everything it takes — the farmland, the people, the know-how — to turn cannabis into a powerhouse industry. The challenge is political will. Too often, leaders treat cannabis as a threat instead of an opportunity. But here at Tennessee Cannabiz, we’re not waiting around. We’re telling the story, building the case, and keeping the conversation alive until the law finally catches up to the plant.

🌄 Looking Ahead

Whether you’re a farmer, a small business owner, or just curious about the future of cannabis in Tennessee, this blog is for you. We’ll keep gathering news, sharing research, and advocating for a better path forward.

Because one thing’s clear: Cannabiz is here. Tennessee can lead. And we won’t stop until it does.

What is Delta 9?

Delta-9 refers to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol , commonly known as THC . [Updated Nov. 15, 2025] Delta-9 Molecule  What Is Delta-9? Delta-9 THC is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. It belongs to a family of plant chemicals called cannabinoids, which are produced in the plant’s resin glands (the trichomes). At the molecular level, Delta-9 is an organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with the formula C₂₁H₃₀O₂. What defines it — and gives it its name — is the placement of a double bond on the ninth carbon atom in its molecular chain. That structural feature is what separates it from similar cannabinoids like Delta-8 or Delta-10. In the cannabis plant, Delta-9 forms through the breakdown of THC-A (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) when it’s exposed to heat, drying, or aging. This process is called decarboxylation. Delta-9 is considered the primary and most abundant form of THC found in traditional marijuana strains and is a major c...

How Does THCA Convert to THC?

The process that converts THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) into THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is known as, DECARBOXYLATION. A hemp plant with vibrant green leaves, showcasing a single, glistening THCA crystal nestled among the buds. Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that occurs when THCA is exposed to heat, light, or aging. During this process, the carboxyl group (COOH) is removed from the THCA molecule, converting it to THC. The steps of the decarboxylation process are: 1. Heat application: Applying heat, such as through smoking, vaporizing, or baking, provides the energy needed to initiate the decarboxylation reaction. 2. Carboxyl group removal: The heat causes the carboxyl group (COOH) to be released from the THCA molecule, leaving behind the THC molecule. The chemical reaction can be represented as: THCA → THC + CO2 Where the carbon dioxide (CO2) is the byproduct released during the decarboxylation. This conversion of THCA to THC is important because: • THC is the primary psyc...
