Does a 1:1 CBD to THC Ratio Really Work To Subdue Some Of The Side Effects Of THC Like Anxiety?
From most of the known reports that we have combed over, we believe this to be 100 percent accurate. In some cases when the THC ratios are much higher than the CBD ratios the CBD can potentiate the effects. With a 1:1 ratio, you should expect a mellow high without the potential side effects of being “too high” such as anxiety.
This makes Xite’s products the perfect treat for just about anyone, as well as they are small and can be brought just about anywhere!
What is Delta 9 THC
THC stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-9-THC). It is a cannabinoid molecule in marijuana (cannabis) that’s long been recognized as the main psychoactive ingredient—that is, the substance that causes people who use marijuana to feel high.
Delta 9 THC benefits
Studies show using delta-9 THC may have therapeutic benefits for certain conditions, including nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, seizure disorders, chronic pain, spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), and sleep disorders in people with other chronic conditions, says Dr. Gordon.

Delta-8 THC vs. Delta-9 THC: Differences and Similarities
Both delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC are composed of the same set of elements (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), only differing slightly in how those elements are arranged, says Dr. Gordon. Although similarly composed, delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC exhibit many differences.
Similarities
Delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC can produce the positive or adverse effects mentioned above, since both delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC activate the body’s CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, including those in the central nervous system.
“Activating CB1 receptors can reduce pain, help with sleep, increase relaxation, calm an overactive nervous system, improve appetite, protect and heal nerves and prevent sensory overstimulation,” says Dr. Gordon.
“Activating CB2 receptors primarily calm an overactive immune system and reduces inflammation, both of which are crucial to improving many chronic conditions.”
Meanwhile, overstimulation of CB1 receptors by overconsumption of delta-8 THC or delta-9 THC can cause lethargy, disorientation, anxiety (and potentially panic), dry mouth and eyes, increased heart rate, and loss of coordination, adds Dr. Gordon.
Differences
“Delta 9 THC is highly regulated in states where legalization measures have passed with specific rules on testing, extracting, and labeling,” he adds. But many manufacturers of delta-8 THC products aren’t following specific regulations, says Dr. Gordon.
For example, they may not ensure their products are free of adulterants or that the end product contains exactly what’s stated on the label.
Potency is another difference between delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC. “I think it’s reasonable to assume properly labeled delta-8 THC would be about one-quarter to one-third less potent than an equivalent amount of delta 9 THC,” says Dr. Gordon.
Delta 9 THC can be smoked or vaporized in flower (bud) form without requiring extraction, although edibles, topicals, and other preparations do require an extraction process. On the other hand, nearly all delta 8 THC products are synthesized, extracted, and purified from cannabis-sourced CBD.
Are Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC Legal?
Currently, delta-8 THC is legal at the federal level, but it’s not legal in every state. Delta-9 THC is illegal at the federal level but legal recreationally and/or for medical use in several states. With that said, laws regarding the production, sale, and use of delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC are continually evolving.

Potential Risks
“Like any compound, consuming more delta-8 THC than the body wants or needs can cause some short-term adverse effects,” says Dr. Gordon. These negative side effects tend to depend on the dosage, meaning they become more severe with increased consumption, he adds.
According to Dr. Gordon, short-term adverse effects of overconsuming delta-8 THC may include:
- Lethargy
- Disorientation
- Anxiety (and potentially panic)
- Dry mouth and eyes
- Increased heart rate
- Impaired coordination
Generally, adverse effects resolve within a couple of hours with inhalation and within several hours of edible consumption, says Dr. Gordon.
“Individuals with preexisting conditions may have risks that others do not,” adds Dr. Gordon. “In patients with high risk for (or already diagnosed) psychotic diseases, over-consuming delta-8 THC could increase frequency or severity of psychosis.”
Consuming large amounts of delta-8 THC, especially when smoked, could precipitate heart damage or abnormal heart rhythms in those with significant underlying cardiovascular disease, says Dr. Gordon.
Additional risks associated with delta-8 THC consumption are linked to the product manufacturers themselves. According to the FDA, delta-8 THC products may contain potentially harmful chemicals or contaminants, including household chemicals used during the chemical synthesis process that yields delta-8 THC.
When weighing the potential risks of consuming delta-8 THC, it’s important to consider that the FDA hasn’t evaluated or approved any delta-8 THC products for safe use. Delta-8 THC manufacturers may also market their products with unproven claims of health benefits that could put public health at risk.
What Is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC is the major naturally-occurring intoxicating component of the cannabis plant. When someone smokes or consumes delta-9 THC beyond a certain threshold, they typically experience a “high.”
In states where delta-9 THC is legal, cannabis dispensaries offer delta-9 THC products in many forms, including gummies, cookies, candies, infused beverages, tinctures, vaping cartridges, topical lotions, and pre-rolled “joints.”
Some manufacturers market delta-9 THC products as able to treat or mitigate symptoms of certain medical conditions or diseases.
However, the FDA has approved only two synthetic THC formulations—dronabinol and nabilone, which are used to alleviate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Nabilone is also used to increase appetite in patients with AIDS.
Potential Benefits
Potential benefits of consuming delta-9 THC may include:
- Relaxation
- Decreased anxiety
- Increased appetite
- Feelings of happiness or exhilaration
- Heightened imagination
- Improved sensory perception
Studies show using delta-9 THC may have therapeutic benefits for certain conditions, including nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, seizure disorders, chronic pain, spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), and sleep disorders in people with other chronic conditions, says Dr. Gordon.
“While we don’t have definitive proof that delta-9 THC or other cannabinoids are [the] clear reason for the effects, patients in structured medical cannabis programs repeatedly show benefits in the conditions mentioned above. Also, [benefits are seen in people with] depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), neurodegenerative disorders, seizures, autism, and autoimmune diseases, just to name a few,” he adds.
Research on long-term use of delta-9 THC and its effects on sleep is limited, with some studies showing improvement in sleep patterns and others indicating that chronic delta-9 THC use can have the opposite effect, disrupting sleep and delaying sleep onset.
Potential Risks
Depending on several factors, including the amount and quality of delta-9 THC consumed, adverse side effects may include:
- Paranoia
- Heightened anxiety
- Sedation
- Confusion
- Dry mouth
- Feeling uneasy, unhappy, or dissatisfied (dysphoria)
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
There are increasing numbers of case reports detailing recurring nausea, severe vomiting, dehydration, and abdominal pain in long-time delta-9 THC users. Multiple studies have also linked delta-9 THC use with increased risk for psychosis, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and other psychiatric conditions, along with substance abuse disorders.
