Delta-9 for People Who Aren’t Trying to Read a Science Journal

Let’s be honest: most explanations of Delta-9 THC sound like a high school chemistry textbook had a panic attack. Because we know that chemistry isn’t everyone’s strong suit, we’re going to deliver information in a way that won’t make you want to play hooky.

This is the Get Overt breakdown: what Delta-9 is, why it’s legal, and what you need to know before you sip a strawberry soda that might gently change your afternoon.

What even is Delta-9?

Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (yep, that’s the full name) is the main psychoactive compound found in cannabis. In simpler terms: it’s the thing that gets you buzzed. Unlike the gummies your cousin tried to give you in 2008, our Delta-9 is derived from legal hemp and carefully measured into delicious, low-dose beverages.

Can you break down the legalities?

It’s all thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill which legalized hemp products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. That means as long as the drink contains under that legal threshold, it’s totally chill, and we do mean that in both senses.

How is Delta-9 different from Delta-8 or CBD?

• Delta-9 = classic cannabis buzz. The real deal. Euphoric, clear-headed, chill.

• Delta-8 = like Delta-9’s introverted cousin. Milder, slower, more mellow. Also, heads up: it’s illegal in most states.

• CBD = not intoxicating. More about calming the body than sparking the vibe.

Our drinks are Delta-9 only because we’re going for the real experience and delivering flavors that’ll rock your socks and sandals off.

What does it feel like? Is one beverage enough? Will I feel hungover?

Everyone’s different, but most people describe it as:

• Relaxing, but not sleepy.

• Lightly euphoric but not couch-locked.

• A little giggly, a little glowy, a little no hung over-y

• A little buzzy but in a “let’s take a nature walk” way, not a “why did I wake up on my neighbor’s roof” way.

Start slow. Sip smart. You can always drink more, but you can’t undrink the first one.

Should You Try Delta-9? (Let’s Be Real About It)

We’re not going to pretend a flowchart will solve your existential questions, but if you’re on the fence about trying a THC beverage, here’s a more thoughtful, real-person breakdown:

You’re curious about cannabis but don’t want to smoke.

Totally fair. Delta-9 drinks let you ease into the experience without rolling anything, lighting anything, or Googling what a lower-case grinder is. You sip; you chill. That’s it.

You want to relax but still be a functioning person.

Perfect. Our low-dose format is meant to add a little sparkle to your day, not deliver a classic Mike Tyson. You can still clean your kitchen. You can still text your mom back. You just might enjoy your daily chores more.

You care about flavor.

We do too. Every Get Overt drink is built around real-deal taste. If you wouldn’t drink it sober, why drink it with THC? Ours actually taste good, like watermelon, root beer, strawberry bliss, and things that belong in your fridge.

You’ve never tried THC, or it’s been a while.

Start with half. Seriously. Let it kick in. Then see how you feel. We designed these drinks for ease, not ego.

If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, cool. You don’t have to decide right now. But when you're ready? We’ve got something for you.
