Join us as we delve into the world of THC gummies, uncovering why they're not just a pleasure for the taste buds but a superior and natural alternative.
Are THC edibles legal?
The first question we get from customers is are THC gummies legal? It turns out THC gummies are legal in most states except a few that have local laws that do not allow them. Otherwise, as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, "its all good man." (you know we had to throw in a Breaking Bad quote somewhere)
I know - we were surprised to find this out too! If that's all you need to know, then proceed to our gummy page for some of the best cannabis gummies on the market made by real people who have been around cannabis for a while. Otherwise, keep reading.
So what are THC gummies good for?
Feeling good ~~~
A good reason people use THC gummies is for their multifaceted benefits, which can cater to a broad spectrum of wellness and recreational needs. Our delicious edibles are not just about enjoying the moment; they're about enhancing the quality of life in various ways. Some of the benefits that make THC gummies great:
Stress Relief and Relaxation: helps promote relaxation and alleviate stress, making them a popular choice for those looking to unwind after a long day or manage anxiety.
Pain Management: For individuals seeking pain relief, THC gummies may offer some relief. The properties of THC help to reduce discomfort by interacting with pain receptors in the brain, providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional pain medications.
Improved Sleep: THC's sedative effects can be a boon for those struggling with insomnia or irregular sleep patterns. By consuming THC gummies, users may find it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, leading to more restful and restorative nights. CBN is also very helpful for sleep - that's why we have THC + CBN gummies.
Enhanced Mood: The euphoric effects of THC can elevate mood and increase feelings of well-being. This makes THC gummies a useful tool for those dealing with depression or simply seeking to enhance their daily life with a sense of joy and positivity.
Enhance Focus: With our Active CBG gummies, you can experience enhanced focus and creativity, perfect for those moments when you need a little extra clarity and productivity.
How will they make you feel?
Since our gummies have THC and other cannabinoids you will experience psychoactive effects. It is a similar kind of feeling as being buzzed off alcohol just without any of the nasty side effects, liver damage, calories, and hangovers and we personally feel like it's a lot more chill (no alcohol rage that some people get).
How long before THC edibles take effect?
Some things that affect how you feel THC gummies are things like body weight and metabolism, but It usually takes between 30-45 min to feel an effect.
How long do they last?
The peak effects of most gummies last about two hours.
Pick a dosage for your THC gummy
We wrote a beginner's guide to gummy dosage here if you want more info. But here are the basics, everybody is different. If you are just starting try 5 mg THC.
If you are a seasoned veteran you may desire higher doses, try 10 mg or 20 mg THC. The key is to go low and slow and take breaks between trying more because there is nothing worse than taking too much. You can always take more but you can't take less!
What is the difference between Delta-9-THC and THC?
Most people use the common term THC. However, the full scientific compound is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or Delta-9-THC for short. Delta 9 THC and THC are sometimes used interchangeably and they mean the same thing. Both are referring to (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the psychoactive form of THC that is naturally occurring in the cannabis plant.
What is the difference between Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC?
There are a lot of "designer" cannabinoids out there including Delta 8 THC (often referred to as the "diet weed"), but we only use the real stuff here. Delta 8 THC occurs naturally in small quantities in the cannabis plant, however, most if not all of the Delta 8 THC products on the market are made synthetically in a lab. Whereas, the Delta 9 THC that we use is naturally extracted from a freshly harvested hemp plant. There is nothing that we are aware of that is dangerous about Delta 8 THC gummies, but since we are intimately knowledgeable in the D9 THC cannabis space, we prefer using all-natural ingredients including D9.
Difference between Hemp and Cannabis
Did you know that cannabis and hemp are the same plant?
The government made an arbitrary legal distinction based on the amount of THC in the plant. If a plant contains more then .3% THC by dry weight it is considered "cannabis" if it is under that amount it is considered "hemp". Cannabis is a schedule I drug whereas hemp is federally legal.
What types of THC gummies are available?
At Utokia Herb Co we didn't just throw THC in a gummy and call it a day. We painstakingly tried hundreds of formulations to find a combination of cannabinoids that enhanced our everyday adventures. This includes our Active, Anytime, and Nighttime formulations that come in three flavors.
Active - Formulated for mood, focus and creativity
Anytime - Formulated for a balanced anytime experience
Nighttime - Formulated for relaxation and calm
Simple Ingredients
Gummies should be simple! Our gummies are made with real fruit, ensuring a delightful taste, and are formulated to be gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan, catering to a wide range of dietary preferences. They are free of artificial coloring (I can't believe that's even still a thing, but I've seen it used with even very big celebrity brands' gummies).
We also utilize pectin as a key ingredient in our gummies instead of gelatin. But what exactly is pectin, and why is it superior to gelatin?
Gelatin, a common ingredient found in many gummy formulations, is derived from animal collagen and serves as a gelling agent. On the other hand, pectin is a natural substance derived from fruits, particularly citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. It boasts superior bioavailability, meaning your body can absorb and utilize it more efficiently.
Pectin also contributes to the exceptional texture of our gummies, striking a balance between firmness and softness without leaving a film on your teeth.
And when it comes to the aftertaste, we've carefully curated our recipe to deliver a harmonious blend of natural flavors, ensuring a satisfying experience from start to finish. While some gummies may leave a bitter or weedy aftertaste, our commitment to natural ingredients ensures a nuanced flavor profile that enhances your enjoyment without overpowering your palate.
Conclusion
Our journey in crafting these gummies for you was driven by a desire to elevate the user experience through the nuanced interplay of cannabinoids. We've aimed to offer a product that goes beyond the ordinary. This careful formulation reflects our commitment to quality all natural ingredients and the potential of cannabis to enhance well-being.
