Edible Gummies
Edible gummies are cannabis-infused chewy candies that contain either THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol), or sometimes a combination of both. They are a popular edible cannabis product for both recreational and medicinal use.

EDIBLE GUMMIES: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Here are some key points to consider when shopping for edible gummies:
- Ingredients: If you would like a vegan option, look for pectin instead of gelatin. Also check to make sure no artificial sweeteners or flavors are used (fruit flavors/juices are preferred), and check the dosing to make sure it’s appropriate for you. If you are a beginner, consider cutting the edible gummy in 1/2 or even 1/4 and work your way up over a number of weeks.
- Effects: THC gummies produce the intoxicating effects associated with marijuana use. CBD gummies are non-intoxicating. CBN gummies help with sleep. CBG gummies help with inflammation and energy.
- Dosing: THC levels can range from very low (2.5mg) to very high (100mg+) per gummy. Always check the labels and the lab tests!
- Onset: Effects take 30-90 minutes to kick in after ingestion as the edible has to metabolize through the liver. Don ‘t just take more if you don’t feel anything, as the effects can be very delayed. This is a common mistake.
- Duration: Edible highs can last 4-12 hours, with residual effects possibly lasting 24 hours or more depending on dosage. Edible gummy effects last way longer than vaping or sleeping, making them an attractive option for pain and sleep.
- Flavors: Edible gummies are available in a wide variety of fruity, sour, and exotic flavors to mask any cannabis taste.
- Discretion: Gummies provide a discreet way to consume cannabis with no telltale smoke or vapor. Many people with children choose edibles for this reason.

Edible Gummies FAQ
What exactly are edible gummies?
Edible gummies are chewy, flavorful candies infused with either THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis) or CBD (the non-psychoactive compound). They come in various shapes, colors, and fruity flavors, making them a discreet and tasty way to consume cannabis.
Are edible gummies safe?
When purchased from a reputable source and consumed responsibly, edible gummies are generally safe. However, it’s important to be aware of proper dosing and the delayed onset of effects compared to other consumption methods.
What is the best potency for edible gummies?
Edible gummies can range from low-dose (2.5mg THC) to very potent (100mg THC or more). Most brands offer a variety of potencies to cater to different experience levels and needs.
How do I determine the right dose of edible gummies for me?
Start low and go slow! Edible dosing is tricky, so it’s best to begin with a low dose (5-10mg THC for most adults) and wait at least 2 hours before consuming more. Increase gradually as needed.
Why might a dose of 2.5mg of thc be right for one person while 100mg might be right for another person? There are several key factors that can influence why a low dose of 2.5mg THC might be appropriate for one person, while a much higher 100mg dose is better suited for another individual when it comes to edible gummies:
Tolerance Level
One of the biggest determinants of ideal THC dosage is a person’s tolerance to cannabis. Those with little to no tolerance will feel potent effects from just a few milligrams of THC. Frequent, heavy consumers develop a higher tolerance over time and require much stronger doses to achieve their desired effects.
Body Weight
An individual’s weight and body mass can impact THC metabolism and sensitivity. In general, those with more body mass tend to need higher doses compared to lower-weight persons when targeting similar effects.
Desired Effects
The intended effects play a role in dosing needs. Low doses (2.5-10mg) are ideal for mild relaxation, pain relief, or boosting appetite. Higher doses (50mg+) are usually reserved for experienced consumers seeking potent psychoactive recreational effects.
Product Potency
Edible gummies can range drastically in potency, from 2.5mg per gummy up to 100mg or more. For the same dosage needs, fewer highly potent gummies would be required versus numerous low-dose gummies.
Individual Biology
Everyone’s biochemistry, metabolism, and endocannabinoid system receptor composition is unique. These individual factors influence how people metabolize and respond to THC from edibles.
Essentially, a 2.5mg microdose meets the needs of infrequent consumers looking for mild therapeutic benefits, while experienced recreational users may require 100mg+ doses to achieve their desired highly psychoactive effects based on their built-up tolerance. Proper dosing is highly individualized.
Is dosing of edibles different for men and women?
There is some research that indicates women may experience stronger effects from edible cannabis products like THC gummies compared to men, even when consuming the same dosage. This heightened sensitivity is thought to be due to metabolic differences between the sexes. Here are some more details:
Body Weight and Fat Distribution
On average, women tend to have higher body fat percentages and lower water weight than men of the same weight. THC is fat-soluble, so it can dissolve more readily into fatty tissues in the female body. This allows THC to be absorbed more efficiently by women.
Hormones
Fluctuating levels of hormones like estrogen and progesterone in women may influence the activity of the endocannabinoid system and its receptors that bind with THC. Some research suggests estrogen may amplify the potency of THC.
Enzyme Levels
Women produce lower baseline levels of certain enzymes involved in metabolizing THC, like CYP3A4. With less of these enzymes, THC may take longer to break down in the female body, allowing the effects to be more pronounced.
Cyclical Factors
For premenopausal women, the menstrual cycle can affect THC metabolism. Higher estrogen levels during ovulation may intensify the effects of edibles compared to other times of the cycle.
While more research is still needed, existing evidence indicates that on average, women tend to experience stronger subjective effects from the same dose of THC in edibles compared to men. However, sensitivity can still vary significantly between individuals based on factors like body chemistry, product potency, and personal tolerance.
How long do edible gummies take to kick in?
Be patient! Edibles are absorbed through the digestive system, so onset can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on factors like metabolism and stomach contents.
Here are some more detailed points about the onset time for edible gummies and the factors that influence how quickly they take effect:
Metabolism Rate
An individual’s metabolic rate plays a major role in determining edible onset time. Those with faster metabolisms tend to absorb and process THC from edibles more quickly compared to people with slower metabolisms.
Stomach Contents
Having food in the stomach when consuming an edible can significantly delay onset. An empty stomach allows the edible to pass through the stomach more rapidly into the small intestine where THC absorption occurs. A full stomach means the edible must first be digested along with other foods.
Product Formulation
Some edible gummies are formulated with added ingredients like lecithin or fatty acids that can increase bioavailability and absorption rate of THC into the bloodstream.
Individual Factors
Genetics, age, body weight, and overall health status can all impact edible metabolism. For example, those with slower digestive function or gastrointestinal conditions may experience delayed onset.
Dosage Amount
Very high doses of THC in potent edibles may take longer to absorb fully compared to lower doses, as the process of metabolizing large amounts can become saturated.
In general, the consensus is that edible onset can realistically range anywhere from 30 minutes on the quicker end up to 2 hours or more in some cases. It’s advised to wait at least 2 hours before consuming more to avoid overconsumption. Being patient and aware of various onset factors is key with edible consumption.
How long do the effects last?
Strap in for a long ride! The effects from edible gummies can last 4-12 hours, with residual effects potentially lingering for 24 hours or more after consuming a potent dose.
So there you have it – everything you need to know about navigating the tasty world of edible gummies! As with any cannabis product, consume responsibly and enjoy the sweet ride.
