All TribeTokes Gummies

How do gummies work in my body?

Great question! When you eat a cannabis gummy, it goes on a little journey through your digestive system. The cannabinoids get absorbed through your gut (usually within 30 minutes), enter your bloodstream, and then interact with your endocannabinoid system (ECS). Your ECS is basically your body’s internal balancing act – it helps regulate mood, sleep, pain, immune function, and more. It’s like having a really smart internal assistant that keeps everything running smoothly.

Why do gummies take longer to kick in than vaping?

It’s all about the route! When you vape, cannabinoids go straight to your lungs and then to your bloodstream – like taking the express train. With gummies, they have to go through your digestive system first, get processed by your liver (which actually converts THC into a more potent compound called 11-hydroxy-THC), and THEN enter your bloodstream. It’s the scenic route, but many people prefer it because the effects last way longer (4-8 hours vs. 1-3 hours for smoking).

What’s the difference between Delta-8, Delta-9, and live resin gummies?

Think of them as siblings in the THC family:

• Delta-8: The chill, clear-headed sibling. About 70-80% less intense than Delta-9, perfect for daytime use or if you’re new to THC. Users often describe it as relaxing without the couch-lock.
• Delta-9: The classic we all know and love. This is traditional THC that gives you that euphoric, happy feeling. Our “Everyday” formula is boosted with CBD and CBG for a more balanced experience.
• Live Resin: The overachiever of the family. Made from fresh-frozen hemp plants, so it preserves all the natural terpenes and cannabinoids for a fuller, more complex experience (what we call the “entourage effect”).

What are the ‘minor’ cannabinoids and how can they help?

Great question! While THC gets all the attention, cannabis plants actually produce over 100 different cannabinoids. The “minor” ones (called that because they’re found in smaller amounts) are like the supporting cast that makes the whole show better. Here’s the scoop on our favorites:

• CBD (Cannabidiol): The zen master of cannabinoids. Non-psychoactive (won’t get you high) but amazing for balance. Think of CBD as THC’s chill best friend who helps smooth out the experience. Research suggests it may help with anxiety, inflammation, pain relief, and sleep. We often boost our THC gummies with CBD to create a more balanced, less intense experience.
• CBG (Cannabigerol): Known as the “mother of all cannabinoids” because other cannabinoids actually start as CBG in the plant. It’s mildly energizing and may help with focus, mood, and inflammation. Some people describe it as giving them mental clarity without jitters. Perfect for daytime wellness!
• CBN (Cannabinol): The sleepy-time cannabinoid! CBN is what happens when THC ages and breaks down, and it’s become famous for its sedating effects. If you’re looking for help winding down at night, CBN is your friend. Many people find it helps them not just fall asleep, but stay asleep.
• CBC (Cannabichromene): The mood booster! CBC is non-psychoactive but may work synergistically with other cannabinoids to enhance mood and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. It’s like the supportive friend who makes everyone else shine brighter.

The magic happens when these cannabinoids work together – that’s the “entourage effect” we keep mentioning. It’s like a symphony where each instrument plays its part to create something more beautiful than any single note could achieve alone!
