If you’re wondering what to know about CBD gummies, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we will lay out everything you need to know about CBD gummies and answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
What To Know About CBD Gummies
CBD gummies fall under the category of edibles. They’re sweet (or sour), chewy candies infused with CBD and often other cannabis compounds. CBD is one of the most popular cannabinoids. It produces its effects by interacting with your endocannabinoid system—a cell-signaling communication system that plays a vital role in the regulation of various processes and functions in the body, such as sleep, mood, inflammatory response and pain, metabolism, and memory.
Because of this interaction, CBD has become popular for relieving sleeping troubles, alleviating everyday aches and pains, helping with muscle recovery, and mitigating mild anxiety.
The effects experienced when taking gummies is similar to products like CBD oils or tinctures, but the time it takes to feel the effects, as well as the duration of effects, are different. In general, gummies take a bit longer to kick in compared to sublingual consumption of CBD, but the effects are likely to last longer. You can expect it to take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours to initially feel the onset, and the effects may last anywhere from six to 12 hours.
Types of CBD Gummies
Like most other edibles and CBD products, CBD gummies come in three different forms:
-
Full-Spectrum CBD preserves all naturally-occurring compounds found in the hemp plants. For federally legal full-spectrum CBD products, this includes a tiny bit of THC (<0.3%).
-
Broad-spectrum CBD is very similar to full-spectrum but is further refined to remove the THC (though trace amounts are possible).
-
CBD isolate is pure, isolated CBD, meaning it does not retain any additional cannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids.
What To Know About CBD Gummies FAQs
CBD gummies by and large aren't likely to give most people that “fuzzy haze” because there is such a small amount of THC (<0.3% in federally legal products). But if you’re sensitive to THC
In some cases, yes. Many companies, including Feals, market their hemp-derived CBD products as hemp products. However, sometimes hemp oil and hemp gummies are made from a different extract called hemp seed oil which will not contain CBD or other cannabinoids. Make sure to read the label closely to ensure you’re getting the product you intended to purchase.
You can purchase hemp-derived CBD gummies online in most states if you’re 18 or older. To ensure you’re buying a safe, high-quality product, always ask for third-party testing results (known as a Certificate of Analysis or a CBD lab report). This tests for things like cannabinoid and terpene profile, potency, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, and residual solvents.
There are many vegan options on the market today. To replace the traditional use of gelatin to give gummies their trademark texture, there are several companies out there that make their gummies with things like Agar Agar powder. If you have allergies or dietary preferences, be sure to read the ingredients list carefully.
