The most important rule with THC gummies is to start with a very low dose and be patient. Many new users make the mistake of eating too much THC at once and have an unpleasant experience. Since edibles like gummies pass through the digestive system, it takes 30-90 minutes to feel the effects compared to the rapid onset of smoking. It’s easy to think the gummies aren’t working initially and eat more, only to get too intense of a high once it kicks in.
Pay attention to flavors
The best part of THC gummies is the delicious flavors available like peach, watermelon, pineapple, strawberry, and more. Pay attention to the flavor options from a brand and choose the ones that sound most appealing based on your taste preferences. Flavor isn’t just about enjoyment. It enhances the overall experience and masks the characteristic cannabis taste. You’re much more likely to enjoy a tropical mango or mint chocolate gummy compared to a plain unflavored one.
Know where it’s sourced
Delta 9 THC comes from either marijuana or hemp plants, but the experience is not the same. Hemp-derived THC gummies typically contain CBD also, leading to more of a relaxed, calm experience compared to the psychoactive “high” from weed-derived gummies. Be sure you know what plant your THC is sourced from, so you understand the expected effects. Purchasing through state-licensed dispensaries ensures you’re getting genuine marijuana-derived THC edibles.
Pay attention to dosing
With THC gummies, the dosage listed on the package is typically the amount of THC per gummy, not the amount of whole extract included. A package may contain 30 gummies total but with only 10mg of THC each. This means you’re getting 300mg of delta 9 gummies total in the entire package. Carefully review the dosing to determine how much THC you’re consuming. 10mg per gummy is a high dose for beginners start with 2.5-5mg THC until acclimated.
Consider formulas for your needs
Look for delta-9 THC gummies formulated specifically for certain effects. Some gummies include complementary herbs, botanicals, or cannabinoids designed to produce specific feelings like calm energy, sleepiness, or pain relief. For example, a daytime formula may contain caffeine and L-theanine, while a nighttime version has chamomile and CBN. This enhances the benefits.
Consider microdosing
Microdosing means consuming very small doses of THC regularly to achieve subtle benefits without intoxication. This may be 2.5-5mg of delta 9 THC 1-3 times per day. Potential effects are improved mood, reduced stress, increased focus, pain relief, and more. It provides an alternative to larger doses a few times a week.
Enjoy entertainment
Make activities like listening to music, watching movies, or playing video games more immersive by pairing them with THC gummies. Even everyday tasks like cleaning or organizing can become more entertaining. Let the THC amplify your enjoyment of experiences. Having activities ready gives you something to focus on other than waiting for the gummies to kick in.
Prepare for sleep
If taking THC gummies in the evening, get ready for bed beforehand. This way you relax and enjoy the effects instead of having to still brush your teeth, change clothes, etc. While THC often leads to sleepiness, it also causes stimulation and inhibits natural melatonin release, so being prepared for sleep helps. Follow these tips and tricks for fun, safe enhancement of your cannabis gummy journey.
