Mood is federally legal! How?

All our products are federally legal and have been since the 2018 Farm Bill. We have all our products tested regularly by third-party labs, to ensure our compliance with federal law. Technically speaking, the Farm Bill legalized cannabis products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. As gummies are relatively heavy, they can contain a lot of D9 THC whilst remaining federally lawful, and our flowers contain high amounts of naturally occurring THCa, which turns into D9 THC when smoked, giving you the same great feeling of illegal marijuana, whilst still being federally lawful.

How do you create the different moods?

Lots of people have heard of cannabis being indica or sativa — but we go way beyond these simple definitions! Our in-house cannabis experts start by reviewing detailed lab tests which measure levels of naturally occurring minor cannabinoids and terpenes. We classify these results based on the sum of their parts, which allows us to determine way more about the results than simple Indica or Sativa types. Everybody reacts slightly differently to cannabis, so it’s not a 100% perfect science, but most people who shop according to mood are very satisfied!

All Mood products are regularly tested by third-party labs to ensure safety and federal legality. .

Will this show up on a drug test?

What Does THC Do? THC Effects Explained

Written by Brandon Topp

Tetrahydrocannabinol—better known as THC—is the primary reason people experience a high when consuming cannabis.

Whether you're curious about how it works, what it feels like, or how it affects your body, understanding THC is essential for making informed choices about cannabis usage.

Before diving into the effects of cannabis, let’s clarify one important thing: how to purchase weed legally online. Mood only sells hemp-derived cannabis.

That means our products contain cannabinoids that come from hemp, not marijuana, though the experience is just as legit. All of our THC products are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and deliver powerful, psychoactive effects.

What Is THC?

THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, a naturally occurring compound found in the Cannabis sativa plant.

It's one of many cannabinoids produced by the plant, but it’s the one most associated with cannabis intoxication.

THC interacts directly with cannabinoid receptors in your brain, leading to psychoactive effects like euphoria, altered perception, and increased appetite.

Looking for a euphoric experience? Mood's Super Goof strain offers a balanced high perfect for activities like gaming and snacking. Try Super Goof flower, a sativa-leaning strain that hits with energy and brightness.

Hemp vs. Marijuana: What's the Difference?

Cannabis exists in two legal categories: hemp and marijuana. While they come from the same Cannabis sativa plant, the difference lies in their chemical makeup.

Hemp: Contains 0.3% Delta-9 THC or less by dry weight. Hemp is federally legal under the Farm Bill.
Marijuana: Contains more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Marijuana is regulated at the state level and remains federally illegal.

Though hemp and marijuana both come from female cannabis plants, the THC concentrations vary.

But here’s the kicker—hemp-derived THCa, when smoked or vaped, becomes just as potent as marijuana-derived THC.

That’s why you can legally smoke cannabis from hemp and still feel the full effect.

Mood exclusively offers hemp-derived products that deliver the intensity of classic cannabis with Farm Bill compliance.

Smoking cannabis from Mood means real THC effects—no medical card required.

How THC Works in the Body

When you consume THC—by inhaling cannabis smoke or eating an edible—it binds to CB1 receptors in the brain, part of your endogenous cannabinoid system (also called the endocannabinoid system).

These cannabinoid receptors influence many body processes, including mood, appetite, sleep, memory, and the central nervous system.

Once THC appears in the bloodstream, it crosses the blood-brain barrier and triggers a rush of neurotransmitters.

Short-Term THC Effects

Whether you smoke marijuana or hemp-derived weed, the short-term effects of cannabis can vary depending on dosage and product type.

Here’s what many cannabis users report:

Euphoria or elevated mood
Enhanced sensory perception
Altered sense of time
Increased appetite
Drowsiness or calm
Giggles or introspection

That’s why it’s best to start low and go slow—especially if you’re new to cannabis consumption.

Long-Term THC Effects

Long-term cannabis usage is an ongoing area of research, but studies and user reports suggest:

Tolerance: Frequent cannabis consumption may make your body less sensitive to THC, requiring more to feel the same effect.
Cognitive shifts: Heavy, long-term use may impact memory or attention, especially when cannabis usage begins in adolescence.
Mood changes: THC can both lift and dull emotions depending on use patterns.
Sleep disruption or enhancement: Depending on the strain and user, THC may help or hinder sleep.

Taking breaks between sessions can help you reset your tolerance and enjoy weed more mindfully.

Why THC Feels Different for Everyone

Several factors shape how cannabis affects each individual:

Your body: Weight, metabolism, and tolerance all play a role.
Delivery method: Cannabis smoke hits faster and wears off quicker than edibles.
Mindset and setting: The environment and your mental state influence the experience.
Strain genetics: Different cannabis sativa strains deliver different results.

THC vs. Other Cannabinoids

While THC is the star of cannabis intoxication, the cannabis plant produces other cannabinoids that also affect the body:

CBD: Calming, non-intoxicating
CBN: Relaxing and potentially sedating
Delta-8 THC: A milder version of Delta-9, with a smoother ride
THCa: Non-psychoactive until heated, then becomes THC

Cannabinoids produce unique effects individually and together—a synergy known as the entourage effect.

Explore products like Jealousy or Dante’s Inferno to experience this layered cannabinoid profile.

Choosing the Right THC Product

Mood offers a curated selection of potent, hemp-derived cannabis products that feel just like traditional cannabis smoke but stay within federal limits.

Here’s how to choose:

Want to smoke cannabis legally? Grab top-shelf THCa flower like Dante’s Inferno.
Want discreet and long-lasting effects? Try our gummies.
Want deep sleep? Use sedating strains like Counting Sheep.
Want to socialize or create? Fire up Super Goof or Pink Lemonade.

Whether you're smoking cannabis for creativity, eating gummies for chill, or vaping for quick relief, THC is the key driver behind the cannabis experience.
