While many search for ‘THC pill,’ the correct term for today’s legal, hemp-derived products is capsule or softgel. These are non-pharmaceutical wellness supplements that contain a precise serving of full-spectrum hemp extract, formulated to be tasteless and easy to use. THC capsules are a convenient and discreet way to incorporate the benefits of cannabinoids into your wellness routine.
What Are Hemp-Derived THC Capsules?

A hemp-derived THC capsule is a dietary supplement containing a precise amount of Delta-9 THC and other beneficial cannabinoids within a full-spectrum hemp extract, all enclosed in a softgel. These softgels are designed to be swallowed with water, offering a tasteless and odorless way to consume cannabinoids.
The primary advantage of this format is the consistency of the serving size, which eliminates the need for measuring with a dropper. Each capsule contains 2.5mg of Delta-9 THC, with a recommended serving of two capsules for a total of 5mg.The full-spectrum extract includes a synergistic blend of cannabinoids* like CBC, CBG, and CBN.
The Legal Difference: Why “Hemp-Derived” Matters
The legality of hemp products, including those with Delta-9 THC, is a critical concern for consumers. Hemp-derived products operate under a different legal framework than traditional marijuana products.
The 2018 Farm Bill Standard
The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized the cultivation and sale of hemp and its derivatives, including cannabinoids like THC.
This law defines hemp as a cannabis plant containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This important legal distinction allows hemp-derived products to be sold and shipped across state lines, provided they meet this federal threshold. However, it is important to note that state and local regulations may vary.
How Capsules Remain Compliant
All NuLeaf Naturals products, including our THC capsules, are sourced from organic hemp grown in the USA. We make sure compliance by using advanced CO2 extraction methods to create a full-spectrum extract that contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight.
To guarantee purity and potency, our products are third-party lab tested, with certificates of analysis (COAs) available for review. This transparency helps build trust and demonstrates our commitment to providing a safe and legal product.
The Advantages of a Capsule Format
Choosing a capsule over other forms of consumption, like oil or edibles, offers several distinct benefits.

Guarantees a Precise Serving
The primary advantage of capsules is their precision. Each softgel contains a consistent, pre-measured serving of 2.5mg of THC. This removes the uncertainty associated with measuring liquid oil with a dropper, making sure that you receive the exact amount every time. This precision is essential for establishing a reliable routine and finding your ideal serving size.
Offers Maximum Convenience
THC capsules are exceptionally discreet and portable, making them easy to take with you on the go. They can be seamlessly integrated into your existing supplement routine and swallowed with water, which is a simple and familiar consumption method for most people.
Provides a Flavorless Option
For individuals who are sensitive to the natural, earthy flavor of hemp oil, capsules offer a neutral and tasteless option. The softgel casing completely encloses the extract, providing a pleasant experience without any unwanted aftertaste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some common questions about our THC capsules.
What is the difference between THC capsules and THC oil?
Capsules offer three key advantages: they are completely tasteless, they provide a precise, pre-measured serving without any need for a dropper, and they are exceptionally discreet and convenient. Oil, on the other hand, allows for more flexible serving sizes, as you can adjust the number of drops to fit your needs.
How long do THC capsules take to work?
As an ingestible product, capsules must pass through the digestive system. For this reason, it can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to notice the effects, though individual results can vary.
Will this product show up on a drug test?
Yes, it may. This product contains a federally compliant level of THC. Consumption of THC products can lead to a positive result on drug screening. If you are subject to drug testing, we recommend consulting with your employer or testing administrator before use.
Are THC capsules stronger than other edibles like gummies?
The strength of a product depends on the dosage, not the format. What distinguishes a capsule is its precise serving, which can help support relaxation and healthy sleep cycles*.
