Cannabis gummies are taking over the edibles market for a good reason. They’re delicious, discreet, and offer plenty of great benefits. These mini, tasty treats come in different flavours and shapes, making them a favourite buy for many cannabis connoisseurs.
If you’ve never heard of cannabis gummies, you may be wondering what the fuss is all about. Read on to find out more about these popular edibles, the benefits they offer, and some brands you should try.
What Are Cannabis Gummies?
Cannabis gummies are a sweet, chewy, candy-like product infused with cannabis.
The main compounds found in the cannabis plant are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabis gummies typically contain either CBD or THC and sometimes even both.
What Is the Difference Between CBD and THC Gummies?
The type of compound (THC and CBD) and their concentration in the product determine the overall effect cannabis gummies will have on you.
THC is a psychoactive substance, which means it can change the way a person’s brain and nervous system works, resulting in a well-known “high.” As a result, THC gummies are often used recreationally.
On the other hand, CBD-infused gummies are famous for their therapeutic effects and are mainly used for medical benefits.
The chemical composition of CBD and THC is nearly identical. Because of this, both compounds produce some similar effects. They can even work together in your body to enhance the unique benefits of each compound.
What Are the Benefits of Cannabis Gummies?
Apart from being a great alternative to smoking cannabis, gummies are discreet and easy to use anytime and anywhere. Gummies are also cost-effective, with most options on the market costing less than $10 per pack.
Another great advantage of gummies is that they offer dosage control and long-lasting effects. They usually take 45 minutes to 2 hours to work, and the effects may last up to eight hours.
While gummies are often used as a recreational treat to be shared with friends, they also offer therapeutic benefits. Some of these include:
- Alleviation of pain
- Reduction in nausea and vomiting
- Antioxidants
- Increased calmness and relaxation
- Management of stress, anxiety and depression
With so many benefits and advantages, gummies continue to grow in popularity. If you are looking for recommendations, here are a few great options from our Toronto store.
