1. 3CHI
Born from the mind of a biochemist with a decade and a half of product formulation mastery, 3CHI burst onto the scene with a mission inspired by the curative magic of hemp. This brand hasn’t just been playing the game; it’s been changing it, shattering conventions and elevating the cannabis industry to dazzling new peaks. With a foundation rooted in robust scientific comprehension, 3CHI is blazing a trail towards a hemp industry revolution.
But don’t think their prowess ends with product crafting. 3CHI has been a standard-setter in the realm of testing, pioneering new methods and even cracking a significant problem related to the quantification of cannabinoids in Delta THC goods.
3CHI’s hand in shifting cannabis into the mainstream limelight can’t be overstated. Their alliances with Barstool Sports and their patronage of NASCAR Cup Series star Kyle Busch have thrust THC into the national consciousness. They even blazed a trail by being the inaugural company to legally sell THC products at a major sports event.
Making waves in outlets such as ESPN, Rolling Stone Magazine, and ABC News, 3CHI has set a goal of untangling the complexities of the cannabis plant, one cannabinoid at a time. In doing so, they’re on a quest to give folks access to supremely consistent cannabis products each and every time.

What is Delta 9o?
First, what is Delta 9o, and how is it different from Delta 9 THC?
Taken straight from 3CHI’s website, here is a bit of information about Delta 9o:
“Called Delta 9 THC-o-Acetate, this cannabinoid is similar in effect and chemical structure to Delta 9 THC. Delta 9 THCO, or simply Delta 9o or D9o, is practically the same cannabinoid as Delta 9 THC with the addition of an acetate group. When consumed, it can take around 20 minutes for users to begin to feel the effects of D9o. This is because Delta 9o is metabolized via a process called deacetylization before it becomes active in the body. The acetate on the molecule is removed, leaving behind Delta 9 THC. Once that happens, the body processes the remaining Delta 9 like standard Delta 9 THC. It’s a legal way to experience Delta 9 THC effects on the federal level.
All the D9o used in any of 3CHI’s products is derived from hemp, which is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. It’s also a federally legal cannabinoid for consumption. How is that possible, you ask? Well, Delta 9 THC-o is a separate cannabinoid from Delta 9 THC. Delta 9 THC-o products contain under 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight volume in all products. Once Delta 9o enters the body, then the body transforms it into Delta 9 THC. The product itself is federally legal. Your body transforms the cannabinoid into something else during the natural metabolism process.”

Schwifty Fifty Blend Vapes
Skyhio has curated an exclusive line known as the Schwifty Fifty Blends. This selection includes inventive combinations of Delta 9o and D 8, Delta 9o and D 8o, and Delta 9o and HHC. Each blend provides a unique experience.
A quick note on HHC: HHC, also known as Hexahydrocannabinol, is a lesser-known cannabinoid that has gained attention in the cannabis industry. Similar to other cannabinoids like D 8 THC and Delta 9 THC, HHC interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes.
HHC is derived from the hemp plant and is known for its unique effects on users. While research on HHC is limited compared to more well-known cannabinoids, anecdotal evidence suggests that it may have psychoactive properties similar to Delta 9 THC but with some differences.
Users have reported experiencing euphoria, relaxation, and uplifted mood when consuming HHC. Many people say that the effects of HHC are somewhere in-between D 8 and Delta 9 THC, potency-wise. HHC has been said to be a little stronger than D 8, but not as potent as Delta 9. This experience can vary person to person as all cannabinoids affect people differently.
Now, let’s take a closer look at Skyhio’s Schwifty Fifty vape blends! The three different blends are available in both cartridges and disposables – the main difference being that the carts contain 1ml of oil and the disposables contain 2ml of oil.
- Schwifty Fifty Blend – Delta 9o : D 8

The Fundamentals of THC
Gaining a comprehensive understanding of cannabinoids and their effects on human health and well-being requires us to explore the intricacies of cannabis plants, their cultivation, and diverse applications. We will delve into the nature of cannabinoids, differentiate between hemp and marijuana, highlight the distinctions between hemp-derived Delta 9 THC and marijuana, and clarify the differences between D 8 THC and Delta 9 THC. Additionally, we will strive to address as many frequently asked questions as possible.
Understanding Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are a diverse group of chemical compounds that naturally exist within the cannabis plant. With over 100 known cannabinoids, the most extensively studied ones are Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 9 THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds engage with the body’s endocannabinoid system, producing a wide range of effects, including pain relief, relaxation, appetite stimulation, and mood enhancement.
The mechanism of action for cannabinoids involves binding or interacting with specific receptors known as CB1 and CB2 in the endocannabinoid system. Present in all mammals, this system plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions, including mood, appetite, pain perception, memory, and immune response.
Understanding the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a sophisticated cell-signaling system within the body that plays a vital role in maintaining physiological balance, known as homeostasis.
Discovered during THC research in the 1990s, the ECS is present in all vertebrate species and is responsible for regulating numerous functions and processes, including sleep, mood, appetite, memory, reproduction, and pain perception.
How does the ECS Work?
What sets the ECS apart is its unique function in cellular “fine-tuning.” While most neurotransmissions work in a forward direction, with presynaptic cells sending signals to postsynaptic cells, the ECS operates in reverse.
When a postsynaptic neuron is activated, endocannabinoids are produced on-demand and travel backward to the presynaptic neuron, where they bind to cannabinoid receptors. This process helps regulate subsequent actions, preventing neurons from excessive firing and aiding the body in returning to a balanced state when it becomes imbalanced.
What is the Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect refers to the theory that the combination of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other chemical compounds found in cannabis produces a synergistic effect that is more powerful than the effects of each compound individually. According to this theory, these compounds work together to enhance the therapeutic potential of cannabis while minimizing any potential side effects.
For instance, CBD is believed to counteract or mitigate some of the undesirable effects of THC, such as anxiety or paranoia, while simultaneously enhancing its therapeutic benefits. The presence of multiple compounds in cannabis is thought to create a more balanced and effective therapeutic outcome, providing a greater overall benefit to the user.
More on Delta 9o
How Does Delta 9o Work?
Delta 9o vapes function similarly to other cannabinoid blends and minor cannabinoids. Enclosed in a vape cartridge, they are heated by a battery-powered vape pen to produce vapor that can be inhaled. While it may take some time to feel the effects, once they kick in, they can last for several hours, providing a smoother, stronger, and longer-lasting high for a more enjoyable experience.
D9o travels through the digestive system and reaches the liver, where it undergoes a breakdown into two components: Delta 9 THC and THC acetate. The liver absorbs the acetate, leaving behind Delta 9 THC in its purest form.
From there, Delta 9 THC enters the bloodstream and interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) as it normally would. This breakdown process explains why there is typically a delayed onset of up to 20 minutes before the effects are felt.
The key difference is that this process leaves the remaining Delta 9 THC in a more bioavailable state compared to standard Delta 9 THC derived directly from a hemp plant. This is why D9o is believed to be three times more potent and longer-lasting than traditional marijuana.
Positive Effects of Delta 9o
D9o products can produce a wide range of effects in individuals. Some commonly reported positive effects include:
- Enhanced mood
- Calming sensation
- Relief from aches
- Improved sleep
- Increased appetite
Side Effects
However, D9o products can also have some unwanted and undesirable effects, which may vary in intensity for each person.
If you are trying D9o for the first time, it is advisable to be in a comfortable environment with familiar people who can assist you in fully enjoying the D9o experience. While uncommon, there have been reports of certain reactions, but the effects of D9o typically wear off after a period of rest. Some potential side effects may include:
- Dry mouth
- Dry, red, or itchy eyes
- Worried or clouded thoughts
