In the past few years, there has been an explosion of products containing THC. One of the newest options on the market is hemp gummies. These products might not provide major, mind-altering sensations when consumed in lower doses, but they're still worth checking out. Keep reading to learn what hemp gummies are made from, how they taste, and how they feel.
Hemp gummies are edibles made with THC derived from hemp plants. They typically have a fruity flavor with a chewy texture.[1] To count as a hemp gummy, this edible must be made from hemp containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.[2]
Hemp gummies can contain a variety of cannabinoids and other chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. Depending on how they're made, they can have many different flavors and effects.[1]
Yes, some hemp gummies can have psychoactive effects, but the effects and their intensity depends on the amount and type of cannabinoids that are present in the product. Some hemp gummies may contain only trace amounts of THC, or they might not contain any THC at all. Some may be only CBD, in which case you probably won't feel any mind-altering effects.[3] Always read your product label and dosage carefully so that you can understand the products you are consuming. Never drive or operate heavy machinery while under the effects of psychoactive cannabinoids including THC.
It is important to always check the label carefully because there is a tremendous variety in how hemp gummies are made. Some edibles made from hemp also contain psychoactive substances like Delta-8.[4] Because of their potentially psychoactive properties, it is important to always use caution when consuming. Keep these products away from minors.
Some manufacturers create gummies by dropping hemp extracts onto pre-formed candies. Meanwhile, others mix hemp extracts into liquid candy and pour them into molds to harden into individual candies.
Some companies make their hemp extracts by soaking hemp plants in a solvent to collect hemp oils. Others use methods like baking, boiling, or pressing hemp to reduce the hemp to a concentrated extract.[5]Hemp gummies are any gummy with hemp extract, while CBD gummies are any type with CBD extracts.[3]
Hemp gummies are popular among people who want the benefits of consuming cannabis. When they contain full-spectrum hemp extract, they can contain a variety of beneficial plant compounds. Some styles also have pronounced cannabis flavors and are enjoyed by those who like the aromas and tastes of cannabis.[1]
Gummy products usually lasts between six months and 12 months, and some may even last a few years. Though it won't spoil like other foods, it will become hard, sticky, or flavorless as the pectin in the product degrades.
Furthermore, the terpenes, cannabinoids, and other hemp compounds in these gummies lose potency over time. Hemp gummies may contain fewer beneficial compounds if they are very old.[7] Check the expiration date on your package and do not consume products that are beyond their listed date of expiration.
To keep your gummies in good condition as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid drastic temperature reductions, humid storage locations, or exposure to UV light. For most people, the ideal storage method for hemp edibles is to place them in an airtight jar in a drawer or refrigerator.[7] Make sure to always keep these products out of the reach of minors, especially if they do not have child-resistant packaging. Do not keep them with your non-hemp gummies or candy products so that you or someone else do not accidentally consume hemp gummies when you do not intend to do so.
