Where Should I Start With Cannabinoid Gifts?
If you want to give a Cannabis Christmas gift or a gift for any other holiday, it’s especially important to:
- Understand what cannabis and cannabinoids are
- Take laws related to cannabis and cannabinoids into account
- Find a high-quality cannabis gift that your friend or family member will truly enjoy
Let’s start with a brief explainer about cannabis and cannabinoids.
What is Cannabis?
Cannabis refers to the cannabis plant and, at least in casual conversation, the Delta 9 THC that comes from it. Delta 9 is a psychoactive chemical that produces effects like elevated mood and an altered sense of general perception. It’s the primary active chemical in cannabis.
Cannabis plants are very similar to hemp plants. In fact, Encyclopedia Brittanica explains hemp and cannabis plants are varieties of the same plant species.
What are Cannabinoids?
Cannabinoidsare chemicals found in cannabis and hemp plants. They’re also produced in the human body as part of our natural endocannabinoid system.
Many cannabinoids are psychoactive, like Delta 9. Others, like CBD, aren’t psychoactive but have other potential benefits. For example, CBD may help to manage anxiety, pain, and sleeplessness.
Delta 9 THC, found in cannabis plants, is undoubtedly a cannabinoid. However, there are several alternative cannabinoids, like Delta 8 and HHC. These cannabinoids are commonly derived from hemp plants. Learn more in our guide for first-time users of cannabinoids.
When derived from hemp plants, these alternative cannabinoids are regulated differently than cannabis. Let’s take a closer look.
Gifts For Cannabis Lovers: Regulation and Legality
Cannabis (and the Delta 9 and other cannabinoids that come from it) are illegal at the federal level. However, 24 states and three other US jurisdictions have legal recreational cannabis as of May 2023, Reuters explains.
You can give cannabis (and cannabis-derived cannabinoids) as a gift within many of these states. However, because of federal law, it’s illegal to ship cannabis from one state to another and to carry it across state lines.
When it comes to hemp-derived cannabinoids, there’s a crucial difference. These cannabinoids are federally legal. You can buy them online and, in many cases, have them shipped to another state.
However, some states, cities, and towns restrict or prohibit the sale of hemp-derived cannabinoids. Always look into relevant local laws before you make a purchase and have it shipped to your friend or family member.
If you can’t send hemp-derived cannabinoids as a gift, you still have options. You can give a variety of cannabis- and cannabinoid-inspired gifts, like vaporizers, munchies, and more. We’ll take a closer look in the next section.
