Party people who love cannabis edibles can certainly appreciate THC gummies, packed with the potent, party-hearty cannabinoid, THC, and delicious, natural fruit flavors. While other edibles can vary in their potency from cookie to cookie or brownie to brownie, THC gummies deliver a consistent dosage in every chew. Gummies are also mess-free and easily portable, unlike some edibles. And THC gummies offer delicious fruit flavor that’s hard to beat!
Of course, there are other cannabis edibles, too. How do THC gummies stack up against CBD gummies, THC syrups, and more? And how do these edibles stack up against other classic ways of cheefin’ the ganja, like vapes and prerolls?
That’s a lot of stackin’. Here, we’re gonna stack other popular cannabis edibles next to THC gummies and unpack their differences. Stack and unpack, buddies; that’s the name of this game. And in the end, we’ll help you decide if THC gummies are right for you and recommend some personal favorites. But first, we need to catch the dewy-eyed beginners up to speed.
What Is THC?
In all cannabis plants, from hemp to marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is one of the most abundant, most prevalent, and most potent cannabinoids. THC is one of the few to deliver party-hearty, red-eyed giggles. (THC gets you baked. Like really baked.) But cannabis is teeming with other cannabinoids, each one offering its own list of unique effects. In today’s cannabis-centric age, many of these cannabinoids find their way into a vast number of edibles, peppering your mind with snoozy, energizing, or soothing benefits. And that, ladies and germs, leads us to the other most popular cannabis compound found in tasty edibles: CBD.
Difference Between CBD & THC
Cannabidiol (CBD) is cannabis’ most popular wellness compound. This cannabinoid delivers the plant’s well-known effects on sleep, mood, stress relief, minor pain, and more—all wrapped in tasty CBD edibles. On its own, CBD makes for a pretty fantastic wellness supplement, offering adults a reliable, natural sleep aid, stress reliever, and mood booster. The main difference between CBD and THC is that CBD is non-psychoactive, and THC is. (Like seriously psychoactive.)
But, that’s only when these two are apart. When paired with THC, CBD really shines. When these two cannabinoids tango together, they balance each other out, leading to a calm, yet euphoric ride through the cosmos. You’ll feel baked, sure, but you may also feel centered, Zen-filled, and at one with nature. Experience these cannabinoids in tandem with our Peach Pear Delta 9 Gummies! These gummies are made with a balanced serving of both CBD and THC, letting you enjoy a more rounded, blissful experience.
What Are THC Gummies?
In the canon of THC products, THC gummies are one type of edible that garners a ton of praise, including newbies, experienced chief cheefers, and everyone in between. These are bite-sized, fruit-flavored chews, often packed with various THC molecules, like THC-P, delta 8, delta 9, and THC-A. These gummies either sport a multi-cannabinoid formula or feature one and only one THC compound, like delta 8, delta 9, or HHC. Plus, these puppies come with all-natural fruit flavors and hemp-based extract, giving you ridiculously good tastes and mind-bending effects.
Difference Between CBD Gummies & THC Gummies
The main difference between CBD gummies and THC gummies is their formulas. While CBD gummies often carry complementary wellness compounds, like vitamins, melatonin, or focus-heavy ingredients, THC gummies unite seriously good flavors with seriously potent cannabinoids to deliver all the funky, fresh vibes of a Friday night.
Another small (not so small) distinction between these two chewy, fruity bites is their effects—oh boy, the effects. CBD gummies promote good vibes with zero euphoria. THC gummies promote even better vibes with maximum euphoria (we’re a little biased, okay?). So, if you wanna bliss out and keep all ten toes on Planet Home, CBD gummies are best for you, bud. But if you want to see how many licks it takes to get to the center of the Universe, THC gummies should be at the top of your list.
Other Cannabis Edibles
While CBD gummies sit on top of the Mt. Rushmore of Edibles, they shouldn’t (at least, when it comes to party edibles). Now, before you throw your hands up in disgust, I know it’s a hot take. Sure, CBD gummies are popular and tasty, but they don’t offer a fun-fueled flight through your Friday night. That’s why the only products that deserve to be a staple in your stash of psychotropic stunners are THC gummies—and THC syrups. Don’t forget the syrups. 🤷
THC Syrups
Decadent ’n’ divine, THC syrups are sippable, chug-able drink additives that mix perfectly with your favorite beverage. (We love our buzzed beverages around here.) Or, you can be a mad lad and down a serving straight up. THC syrups are fruity and potent, so one serving is enough to smother your taste buds in fruity wonder and your mind in cerebral splendor. Sounds fun, huh?
How Edibles Work
After you pop back a gummy and savor its flavor, what happens? Not much, right? You’re just hanging out, twiddling your thumbs, and waiting for the fun to commence. But, when you puff off a THC vape, you usually feel the effects kick in after a mere seconds, taking you on a hot air balloon ride straight to Cloud Nine.
Gummies work in your body differently than vapes; edibles need a bit longer to work their magic—first, the gummy tumbles through your digestive tract. Here, the THC molecules break away. They absorb into your liver, then your bloodstream, and finally your endocannabinoid receptors, where they plug the speakers in and get the party started—around 30 minutes to two hours after you’ve taken the gummy. And this timeline can change depending on the person. So, get ready to take a gummy, sit back, and wait.
Long-Lasting Effects
And while these effects don’t set in for up to two hours, they do last for quite some time. A single THC edible can keep the party going for six to eight hours. (Yes, eight hours is a traditional workday. No, we aren’t hinting at what you think we’re hinting at. Or are we?)
Type of Product | Effects Kick In … | Effects Last … |
THC Gummies | 30 minutes to two hours | Six to eight hours |
THC Syrup | 15 to 30 minutes | Four to six hours |
THC Vapes & Prerolls | Just a few minutes (or seconds) | One to two hours |
*Experiences may vary, depending on personal bioavailability factors (such as height, weight, and tolerance).
How to Use These Gummies
Got your gummies ready? Here’s what to do next. First, check your space. Taking a THC gummy in the wrong setting can really dampen the experience. Once you’re in a relaxing spot, pop just one gummy and just relax. Maybe put your feet up and turn on the tube. Keep in mind that depending on your body composition, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours for the effects of an edible to kick in. So, while you’re waiting, make sure your set and setting are primed for a good time.
