How Do Delta 9 Gummies Make You Feel?

Delta 9 THC has been sparking curiosity among cannabis enthusiasts—with good reason, since our Delta 9 gummies are to die for. But how do these cannabis edibles really make you feel?

Delta 9 gummies produce a variety of beneficial effects on users, mainly because they contain low doses of THC.  The practice of consuming small amounts of cannabis is called microdosing, and the best way to microdose is with Delta 9 gummies.

Are you interested in trying the best Delta 9 gummies out there? We don’t mean to brag, but our Euphoria Delta 9 edibles might just be the best invention since sliced bread. Ten milligrams of hemp-derived Delta 9 and CBD will keep you sharp and focused throughout the day, enhancing your productivity without overpowering your senses.

If you’re new to cannabis and don’t know what CBD is, here’s our informative guide to cannabidiol (CBD) and all its juicy secrets.

Effects of Microdosing Delta 9 THC

Delta 9 THC, also known as THC, is often called the main psychoactive chemical extracted from cannabis plants. While higher amounts of THC may have mind-altering, psychoactive properties, low doses are generally considered safe for most people. Because of its intricate relationships with our body and mind, THC gummies have so much more to offer.

THC in the Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex network of signals and receptors. Its main role is to maintain our body’s internal balance and stability by regulating a wide range of physiological functions, such as:

• Sleep
• Mood
• Pain perception
• Motor control
• Stress response

The endocannabinoid system “serves pivotal roles in a diverse range of physiological and pathophysiological states, including behavior, pain, schizophrenia, obesity, Alzheimer disease, multiple sclerosis and cardiovascular disease” (Lerner, et. al.)

Our bodies produce endocannabinoids (“inner” cannabinoids), whereas the hemp plant produces phytocannabinoids, such as THC and CBD. THC binds to CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the ECS to produce its effects. Pertwee, et. al. described the effects of Delta 9 as a “partial agonist” of cannabinoid receptors.

Δ9-THC, the main psychotropic constituent of cannabis, is a CB1 and CB2 receptor partial agonist and in line with classical pharmacology, the responses it elicits appear to be strongly influenced both by the expression level and signaling efficiency of cannabinoid receptors and by ongoing endogenous cannabinoid release.

When taken in sufficient amounts, Delta 9 interacts with CB1 receptors to generate euphoric feelings. Its interaction with the CB2 cannabinoid receptor produces anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.

Studies show that the potential benefits of THC increase when taken together with CBD. Cannabidiol seems to have “synergistic contributions to cannabis pharmacology and analgesia.” This synergistic property of cannabinoids working together to produce greater therapeutic effects is referred to as the “entourage effect.”

THC in the Entourage Effect

The entourage effect refers to the enhanced benefits of cannabis components acting together rather than in isolation. When taken together, CBD might help balance the possible psychoactive effects of Delta 9, providing a more mellow experience. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive properties, probably because it does not bind to cannabinoid receptors in the ECS directly. Instead, it regulates the activation and function of these receptors in the presence of THC.

CBD has little binding affinity for either CB1 or CB2 receptors, but it is capable of antagonizing them in the presence of THC. In fact, CBD behaves as a non-competitive negative allosteric modulator of CB1 receptor, and it reduces the efficacy and potency of THC and AEA. CBD also regulates the perception of pain by affecting the activity of a significant number of other targets. (Vučković, et. al.)

CBD improves the safety and tolerability of THC and its interaction with cannabinoid receptors. It is even capable of downregulating its possible adverse effects (e.g., increased heart rate, paranoia, and sedation). We combined THC and CBD in full spectrum CBD to enhance the benefits and reduce the possible overwhelming sensations of THC.

Full spectrum CBD gummies contain both major cannabinoids and other minor cannabis compounds to take your cannabis experience to a whole new level. There are individuals who prefer no-THC edibles—making our THC-free CBD gummies the perfect choice—but we are firm believers in the all-round amazing health benefits low doses of Delta 9 THC have to offer.

Purchase our Bliss gummies and experience the harmonious low-dose marriage of THC and CBD. Only 5 mg of pure hemp-derived Delta 9 will produce mild feelings of euphoria and relaxation, leaving you refreshed and relaxed.

Take a short break and explore the differences between two major cannabinoids with our in-depth look at THC and CBD. Did you know that CBD also has powerful anti-stress properties?

How Do Delta 9 Gummies Make You Feel?

Delta 9 gummies are an edible cannabis product that contains low doses of Delta 9 THC, the major cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. They are made by infusing Delta 9 into gummy candies, providing a tasty and enjoyable way to ingest safe and effective cannabis amounts. The amount of THC found in our edibles ranges between 2 and 10 milligrams, which makes our gummies the best microdosing products.

People consuming low-dose THC report feelings of relaxation and reduced anxiety, elevated mood and focus, and pain relief. The effects of Delta 9 are influenced by several factors, including the dosage, the method of consumption, your body’s metabolism, and your personal tolerance to cannabis.

Let’s get into the details of how Delta 9 gummies really make you feel and explore the benefits of consuming small amounts of THC.

Delta 9 Gummies Elevate Mood

Delta 9 has been used for ages to produce euphoria and improve mood. THC is absorbed by our bloodstream, through which it reaches our brain. There, it interacts with our cannabinoid receptors (remember CB1 receptors?) in the ECS. CB1 receptors are largely found in two brain regions: the amygdala, which regulates emotions, and the nucleus accumbens, which controls reward and pleasure. THC’s interaction with CB1 receptors can trigger the release of important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters that influence our mood and emotions.

One such neurotransmitter is dopamine. Dopamine (DA) is heavily involved in mood regulation, reward-based behavior, and the reinforcement of enjoyable behaviors. Balanced levels of dopamine are important for our day-to-day happiness, motivation, focus, and overall well-being. Research suggests that THC can stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain, creating a sense of euphoria popularly known as the “high.”

Delta 9 Gummies Reduce Anxiety

Delta 9 can promote a sense of calm and relaxation. That’s why our yummy THC gummies are the greatest and most natural anxiety relievers. Cannabis compounds like Delta 9 and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to help maintain homeostasis and regulate our response to stress. Researchers at the University of Washington explain the significant role of the ECS in reducing anxiety.

The endocannabinoid system is expressed in all brain regions that are important for the processing of anxiety, fear, and stress and has been identified as playing an important role in these responses… Both for anxiety and fear memory processing, the endocannabinoid system is thought to ensure an appropriate reaction to stressful events and to serve as a regulatory buffer system for emotional responses.

Delta 9 THC binds to and activates CB1 receptors, which helps reduce anxiety levels and promote mental health. According to the University of Washington, low doses of THC can successfully decrease anxiety without psychoactive effects. At the same time, higher THC doses can amplify feelings of anxiety, stress, and paranoia. Because of their beneficial effects on mental health, low doses of THC and CBD can also help reduce the symptoms of depression.

Our no-stress Relax gummies contain only 5 mg of THC, perfectly balanced by 25 mg of CBD. These delish watermelon edibles are fast at enhancing relaxation and inviting serenity into your routine. They are carefully designed to gently ease you into a state of calm without the risk of a heavy high.

Delta 9 Gummies Relieve Pain and Inflammation

Delta 9 gummies can provide physical relief, which is great news for cancer and AIDS patients, migraine sufferers, and people with movement disorders. (Read more about the ability of THC to help you end those insufferable migraines.)

Cannabis research suggests that THC and CBD might effectively relieve neuropathic pain, arthritic pain, cancer pain, and fibromyalgia-related pain.

…medical cannabis is an effective and safe option for the treatment of fibromyalgia patients’ symptoms. We found a significant improvement in pain intensity and significant improvement in patients’ overall quality of life and fibromyalgia-related symptoms after six months of medical cannabis therapy. (Sagy, et. al.)

A research paper found that cannabis use for cancer pain has led to a 64% reduction in opioid use and improved the overall quality of the patients’ lives.

This study suggests that many [chronic pain] patients are essentially substituting medical cannabis for opioids and other medications for [chronic pain] treatment, and finding the benefit and side effect profile of cannabis to be greater than these other classes of medications.

We now know that THC binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors. Binding to CB1 receptors can lead to pain relief, while Delta 9 THC’s interaction with CB2 receptors can effectively reduce inflammation. Did you know that microdosing cannabis can also help reduce the symptoms of chronic inflammatory conditions?

Inflammation is our body's normal response to damage or infection, but prolonged instances of inflammation can cause chronic pain. To combat chronic pain and inflammation, we recommend full spectrum CBD products. (The entourage effect is the key.) CBD has powerful anti-inflammatory properties on its own, but the combination of THC and CBD seems to result in a more significant reduction in pain.

Experience yet another amazing combo of THC and CBD with our Energy Delta 9 gummies. Only 2.5 mg of THC provides sweet pain relief, enhanced by the unforgettable flavor of blood oranges. 

Boost Focus With Delta 9 Gummies

Some users report increased concentration and creativity after taking Delta 9 gummies. Consuming low doses of Delta 9 THC may even help people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Remember how Delta 9 can boost dopamine levels? Low dopamine is thought to be a major contributor to ADHD. Insufficient levels of this neurotransmitter in our brain can lead to increased anxiety, a lack of focus, and decreased mental clarity. Research suggests that, by increasing dopamine levels, Delta 9 THC improves the symptoms of ADHD and leads to greater feelings of wellbeing.

Delta 9 Gummies for Improved Sleep

As the relaxing effects of THC may help calm the mind and body, Delta 9 gummies can help promote a good night's sleep for some people. THC is known to have sedative effects, which can help individuals fall asleep faster. This can be particularly useful for people struggling with insomnia. Research reveals that cannabis can increase your time spent in deep sleep, the so-called non-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage that helps you feel refreshed and well-rested in the morning.

THC may increase sleep latency (the time you need to fall asleep) while decreasing REM sleep. We spend more time dreaming during REM sleep, and the more time we spend dreaming, the less time remains for deep, non-REM sleep. Synthetic cannabinoids derived from THC may also help with sleep apnea, a potentially dangerous sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.

Novel studies investigating cannabinoids and obstructive sleep apnea suggest that synthetic cannabinoids such as nabilone and dronabinol may have short-term benefit for sleep apnea due to their modulatory effects on serotonin-mediated apneas. CBD may hold promise for REM sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness, while nabilone may reduce nightmares associated with PTSD and may improve sleep among patients with chronic pain. (Babson, et. al.)

THC inhibits REM sleep in a dose-dependent manner. At high doses, THC may lower the amount of time spent in deep sleep, whereas THC at moderate concentrations promotes REM sleep. Sleep quality is determined by how much time you spend in each of the four sleep cycles (three NREM and one REM). Consuming THC at lower doses produces the most beneficial results for sleep.

Our Sleep Plus gummies are specially designed to aid your nighttime routine. This tasty cannabis product contains 2 mg of Delta 9, 25 mg of CBD, and 3 mg of melatonin, another mighty sleep aid. This combination promotes a relaxed state of mind and eases you into restful sleep.

Consuming Delta 9 Gummies Increases Appetite

Delta 9 is known to stimulate appetite, which could be beneficial for individuals struggling with appetite due to medical conditions or treatments. This effect is so well known that it has gained the moniker “the munchies.”

The interaction of THC with our bodies' endocannabinoid system is the science behind the munchies. The ECS is involved in a number of physiological functions, including appetite and digestion. CB1 receptors—for which Delta 9 THC has a high affinity—play important physiological roles in digestion and food intake.

When it binds to the CB1 receptors, THC can stimulate the production of the hormone ghrelin, which signals the brain that it's time to eat. One study demonstrated “significant alterations of the appetite hormones ghrelin, [peptide YY] and leptin in blood after smoking cannabis at doses that yielded substantial blood THC levels…” THC also interacts with the hypothalamus, an area of our brain that controls hunger and satiety, causing an increase in appetite.

THC can also improve the sensory sensations of eating, making food appear more appealing. All these appetite-stimulating effects of Delta 9 might be beneficial for people who have lost their appetite due to medical illnesses or treatments (such as chemotherapy). Delta 9 in the form of gummies can enhance hunger.

Our CBD gummies with Delta 9 contain precisely calculated amounts of THC and offer users a quick, discrete, and pleasant way to boost their appetites without the hazards associated with smoking or other types of consumption.

Why Delta 9 Gummies Are Better Than Smoking Cannabis

Delta 9 gummies elegantly blend a number of benefits that appeal to a wide spectrum of users, from cannabis newcomers to seasoned consumers. When compared to traditional methods such as smoking, vaping, or even other forms of cannabis edibles, Delta 9 gummies provide distinct advantages that make them an excellent choice.

Delta 9 Gummies

• Delta 9 gummies allow a precise dosage.
• They have slower onset time (anywhere between 30 minutes and two hours), but their effects can last up to 8 hours for some people.
• Because they contain low THC content, they are the most suitable for microdosing. 
• THC edibles are simple and easy to use. 

Smoking Cannabis

• With smoked cannabis, it’s difficult to control the dosage.
• This consumption method is the quickest to deliver the effects of Delta 9, but the duration of the “high” is also the quickest to wear off. 
• The THC content in cannabis cigarettes is often unreliable and too high. 
• Smoking cannabis is an easy method, but it involves unpleasant smoke and smell. This way of consuming cannabis is unsuitable for people who don’t smoke.

Vaping

• The dosage in THC vapes can vary greatly, so it’s difficult to control it. 
• Vaping has a quick onset, and you can feel the effects almost immediately, but the duration of the Delta 9 effects is also shorter.
• THC vapes typically contain high concentration of Delta 9 THC. 
• It’s discreet to use, less smelly than smoking, but it requires additional equipment, so it can be pricey. 

Sublinguals, Tinctures, and THC Capsules

• Sublinguals, tinctures, and THC capsules can be precisely dosed. This requires extreme precision.
• These consumption methods have a moderate onset. The effects of Delta 9 can last up to 2–3 hours, but this depends on the dosage and individual factors of the user.
• THC concentrations can be significantly higher in these forms. 
• Taking sublinguals, tinctures, and THC capsules can be discreet, but it requires additional equipment (a dropper for THC tincture). 

Safety also comes to the forefront when considering Delta 9 gummies. Unlike smoking, which can pose serious risks to respiratory health, edibles bypass the respiratory system altogether, making THC gummies not only safer but also suitable for individuals with respiratory conditions.

Our Euphoria gummies are taking the world by storm with their exhilarating blend of Delta 9 THC and CBD and all-natural flavors. They are crafted to elevate your spirits, stimulate your appetite, lower anxiety, increase relaxation, and provide a full spectrum of wellness benefits. No wonder they're causing such a global stir.

Side Effects of Delta 9 Gummies

Consuming Delta 9 THC at higher doses can cause some side effects. However, our Delta 9 gummies do not contain more than 10 mg of THC per gummy, so unless you take more than one, you should be safe from experiencing any negative side effects.

Here are some potential side effects that long-term cannabis users may feel at higher doses.

• Dry mouth and eyes
• Red eyes
• Increased heart rate
• Increased anxiety
• Paranoia
• Slower response times

Other potential risks to be aware of are failing drug tests because Delta 9 THC is a controlled substance that may appear on screening tests.

Is Delta 9 THC Legal?

Delta 9 gummies are legal at the federal level across the US, provided the products containing THC are compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill. For THC products to be Farm Bill compliant, they must meet the following criteria:

• The Delta 9 THC must come from hemp, not marijuana. Hemp-derived Delta 9 THC is federally legal in the US. (There are some differences between the two, so make sure to check out our extensive comparison between hemp and marijuana.)
• The THC product must contain a low amount of THC. Specifically, it cannot contain more than 0.3% of Delta 9 THC by dry weight.

All our products are Farm Bill compliant, which makes them federally legal in 48 states. Only two US states chose to ban THC outright (if you live in Idaho or Kansas, you won’t be able to legally purchase any edibles with Delta 9 or other hemp-derived compounds).

Choose from our collection of federally legal Delta 9 edibles and never worry about crossing any legal boundaries.
