Δ-9-THC is the main compound from the cannabis plant. When consumed in higher amounts (25 mg and more for some people), Delta 9 may produce mild psychoactive effects. Low doses (10 mg or less) allow you to incorporate small, safe amounts of cannabis without experiencing the “high.” You’ll still feel functional and productive while on a microdosing regime.
Cannabis users favor edibles over other consumption methods because they deliver a longer-lasting cannabis experience. The effects of Delta 9 gummies typically kick in after 30 minutes, but often more like two hours.
The effects of edibles can last for several hours, often as long as eight. On the plus side, gummies taste like, well, gummies, and ours contain only the best ingredients and natural flavors.
Speaking of flavors, you need to check out our Relax Plus gummies, like, right now. Only five milligrams of Delta 9 enhance relaxation and produce the mildest buzz, while 25 mg of CBD will relax you from head to toe. The fresh watermelon taste takes these vegan edibles to a whole new level of yum.
Delta 9’s Effects on the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors and signals that regulate important bodily functions—like memory processing, immune response, pain perception, appetite, sleep, hormonal modulation, and many others. Delta 9 interacts with our endocannabinoid system (ECS) to make alterations in these functions and produce its therapeutic effects.
The ECS produces chemical signals called cannabinoids that interact with its CB1 and CB2 receptors. Phytocannabinoids, which come from plants, act like our own cannabinoids and interact with the ECS in the same way.
By interacting with our CB1 and CB2 receptors, for example, low doses of THC and CBD can block pain signals, relax muscles, make us hungry, and improve the way our brains work.
THC and CBD seem to produce their best results when combined. Some of our Delta 9 products are the perfect way to create the entourage effect.
The Entourage Effect
The entourage effect is a synergistic interaction in which THC's beneficial effects are amplified when combined with CBD, and vice versa. CBD downregulates THC’s psychoactive properties and softens their impact on our body.
The best way to produce the entourage effect is with full spectrum CBD. The synergy of powerful full spectrum cannabis extracts allows you to reap the benefits of Delta 9, CBD, CBN, CBG, and other cannabinoids and terpenes. You can experience these beneficial blends when you shop our collection of full spectrum gummies.
Our Sleep Plus gummies contain the perfect blend of THC and CBD. This succulent mix of 25 mg of CBD and only 2 mg of Delta is enhanced by a touch of melatonin and lavender-infused flavors. There is no better way to get a good eight hours of sleep.
There are blends of cannabinoids that don’t contain any THC. Broad spectrum cannabis products allow users to experience the benefits of CBD and other cannabis compounds without ingesting Delta 9 THC.
