Fruity, potent, and deeply euphoric, THC gummies are gummies packed with the cannabinoid, THC. At TRĒ House, we absolutely, positively, wholeheartedly love THC gummies; they’re fruity, sweet, and borderline divine, gifting us a fun-fueled ride of bliss every time. But, to have the best experience with ’em, you need a little rudimentary knowledge first, a little know-how to kick off the how-to. THC gummies are more than just sweet treats that have been infused with THC; these puppies can deliver a subtle microdose of euphoria or send your mind through the wormhole sunny-side up with a strong power punch of fruit-flavored bliss.
So, fine-tuning that ride takes a little research first.
And, we’ve got you covered. We’ll answer all your queries about THC gummies, teach you how to use ’em, help you pick the right ones, and give you our personal recommendations. This is a beginner’s guide, so we’re gonna pop the hood and show you all the “how-to,” “when-to,” and “what-to,” while helping you enjoy one of the most popular cannabis products: THC gummies!
Weed 101: What Is THC?
Now, it may seem trivial to start with such a basic question, but there are those amongst us who don’t know the answer and are too afraid to ask. So, what is THC—other than the potent ingredient in THC gummies? Ladies and germs, we’re goin’ science-mode—weed science. Get your goggles, calibrate the microscope, and strap in, ’cause you’re gonna learn today!
CBD vs. THC
On a microscopic level, cannabis is teeming with over a hundred different cannabinoids. These are compounds unique to cannabis; they’re what deliver the plant’s iconic wellness-boosting or euphoria-backed effects. Typically, when you’re using cannabis for daily, stress-reducing activities, cannabidiol (CBD) is the one you’d turn to. This cannabis compound is non-psychoactive and delivers the plant’s wide array of wellness benefits for sleep, relaxation, stress, and other beneficial effects.
But if you want to crank the party to eleven and dive deep into electric vibes, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is your new best friend. Like CBD, THC is also a cannabinoid found in varying amounts across cannabis plants, including hemp and marijuana. But unlike our dear ol’ friend CBD, THC ain’t gonna whisper sweet-nothings in your ear before bed. No, THC will prep the magic carpet and help you meet the Martians up close.
THC is cannabis’ notorious psychoactive cannabinoid. It’s the compound that’s reddened the eyes of just about every culture, getting mankind baked, buttered, and extra-toasted for millennia. And now, you can indulge in this fascinating, fun-fueling compound in several ways—most notably with THC edibles (the crown jewel of THC products).
What Are THC Edibles?
While sure, the classic way of enjoying THC is rollin’ some bud and smoking a doob, but we’re in the 21st century; we’re switching up how we indulge in the Almighty THC. Now, cannabis edibles have always been a thing—just ask your granny. But these homemade infused treats typically used an exorbitant amount of cheef, getting anyone who took one uncomfortably baked.
We’ve brought order to the madness by making perfectly dosed THC edibles, like our gummies and syrups, made by lab-coat professionals. They come with all-natural flavors and ingredients. Plus, they’re all equally dosed. So you can enjoy a consistent lunar-launching experience every time. Now, what’s the difference between the two?
Syrups vs. Gummies
Obviously, THC gummies are one type of edible that delivers potent, powerful, euphoric effects in the form of a squishy, fruit-flavored chew. You can take a gummy whole or break that sucker into tiny pieces, crafting the perfect microdose. Our THC syrups, on the other hand, are best used when crafting a buzzed beverage (though they taste pretty fab on their own, too!). Think of these as a THC-infused mocktail, designed to deliver mouthfuls of psychoactive slurps.
When you ingest gummies, their effects gradually set in over 30 minutes to two hours, leading to a six to eight-hour-long puddle of euphoria. When you sip a syrup, though, you can extend the fun until the very last drop. This is how edibles make consuming THC so much ******* fun. The possibilities are endless.
Cannabis Gummies & Vapes
Another potent, popular option for the canna-curious is cannabis vapes. These come as vape pens and vape carts, packed with pristine THC-rich vape juice. When you puff on a THC vape pen or THC vape cartridge, the cannabinoids filter through your lungs and dive directly into your bloodstream, delivering the party-hearty vibes almost immediately. But these effects don’t last nearly as long as edibles. Typically, you can expect to feel the effects of a THC vape for an hour or two—a far cry from gummies’ six to eight-hour-long firework show of colorful euphoria.
Types of Weed Gummies
Now, yes, THC is a cannabinoid that packs quite a euphoric punch. But “THC” is often used as a blanket term for a number of different cannabis compounds, most notably delta 9 and delta 8. These puppies are molecules that exist along THC’s molecular chain, each offering patented psychoactive effects. And, of course, we’ve isolated both and packed them into a suite of supremely sweet, supremely psychotropic gummies.
Delta 9 Gummies
First, we have the OG THC gummy: delta 9 gummies. Delta 9 is the most abundant form of THC. When you picture the blissful effects of THC, you’re probably imagining delta 9. In all forms of cannabis, this puppy is the most prevalent. We use delta 9 THC on its own in products like our Strawberry Delta 9 Gummies and our Blue Raspberry Delta 9 Gummies. Compared to our other THC edibles, these are among the strongest, as delta 9 THC is considered one of the most potent THC molecules.
Delta 8 Gummies
For a milder romp with euphoria, check out our delta 8 gummies! On its own, delta 8 delivers a less intense punch of bliss compared to delta 9. If you were to pop the hood on every single cannabis strain, you’d find trace levels of delta 8, vibing in the background behind its more popular, more famous cannabinoid cousin, delta 9. But delta 8 still delivers fun-fueling effects. And, through an intricate isolation process, we can extract delta 8 THC and infuse this sucker into a long line of gummies, like our High-Potency Blue Raspberry Delta 8 Gummies, which have 100 mg of delta 8 each (yes, that’s a ton).
Cannabinoid Combo Gummies
Certainly, delta 8 and delta 9 are the frontrunners in the race for fueling your Friday fun, but there are loads of other THC compounds that can help launch your mind to the Moon’s backside. Gummies like our Tropic Mango Delta 8 Gummies and Peach Pear Delta 9 Gummies use multiple cannabinoids, like THC-P, HHC, and CBD, to pepper in various effects that complement those from delta 8 and delta 9, giving you a uniquely psychoactive euphoria.
How to Use These Gummies
When you take a cannabis edible, like cannabis gummies, the THC-packed treat absorbs into your digestive system before entering your bloodstream. Now, this process ain’t instant. So, weed gummies take time to deliver their fun-fueling effects: typically around 30 minutes to two. But, those who’ve taken gummies with friends can attest that this timeline varies for everyone. How long it takes for you to feel the gummies’ patented effects will vary from how long it takes your buddy and his cool grandpa who tagged along for a ride. So, expect them to hit after a couple of hours and to last for six to eight hours.
How Many Gummies Should You Take?
We’ve crafted these gummies with just enough potency to elevate your mind to Martian plains. So, usually, one gummy is enough to get you properly baked. For newbies, start with half a gummy, just to get a sense of what the effects feel like. Now, if you have a strong tolerance (and a vacation home on Mars), you can take more than one gummy, but prepare to meet the aliens up close. (Newbies, I know what you’re thinking, but don’t do it. Stick to a gummy or half a gummy. Trust me. Getting too baked too fast is never a fun way to spend your free time.)
