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...
