Will I get high?The general answer to this used to be absolutely not. It is important to know what Cannabinoids are in the product you have. The primary cannabinoid that produces the sensation of feeling “high” is Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannbinol (THC).

However, through research, the hemp industry has been able to extract similar cannabinoids to D9 THC that does give you a similar feeling. Be sure to ask your bud-tender for specifics before you purchase.
