Technical Notes: Cannabis Gummies<\/p>\n
Overview<\/strong> Reviewing online vendors, the most reputable typically reference the United States 2018 Farm Bill that legalizes the use of hemp to create various products. The products I tested contained THC (Delta 8, Delta 9) and CBD (all products) and have both psychoactive and physical effects when ingested.<\/p>\n Summit and Bearly Legal Hemp both offer third party analysis on their respective web sites. The samples include Delta 8 (Summit and Bearly Legal), Delta 9 (Bearly Legal), and HHC (Summit).<\/p>\n Recommend dose is a half or quarter gummy before bed to determine what works for you. The suppliers typically note the product effect duration is in the range of 4=6 hours. This was my experience, and getting up the next morning, I feel it was safe to drive, work, and go about my day. I take a half or full gummy, but your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n Summary<\/strong> Delta 9 products are typical of smoking or eating marijuana. Depending on the dose, I felt very relaxed, experienced a mellow high that let me fall asleep quickly. I felt like I entered REM sleep, but with no dream state, and I woke up refreshed and alert.<\/p>\n Delta 8 products had less of a psychoactive effect and more of a \u2018body high\u2019. I felt physically a bit sluggish if I got up at night, but I had a deep, dreamless sleep and woke up refreshed, but less alert initially compared to Delta 9. However, in a short time (10-15 minutes) I was alert and started my workday without any lingering effects.<\/p>\n I only tested one HHC product (Summit). The effects are like Delta 8 products. Less psychoactive and more of a full body relaxation. Similar next morning effects as well. I also tested HHC less than the Delta 8 and 9 products.<\/p>\n Additional Notes<\/strong> Summit Product Guide<\/strong> Barely Legal Hemp Co.<\/strong> Brookings – The Farm Bill, hemp legalization and the status of CBD: An explainer<\/strong><\/p>\n The Farm Bill, hemp legalization and the status of CBD: An explainer<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nI tested gummies from various sources over the past year. Having a background in chemistry, I found it disturbing that some of the first products I tested varied widely in potency, even within a package. One gummy would not seem to have any effect, another had me tripping balls (enjoyable, but unexpected). I never felt in danger, but obviously this was not desirable either. I tested products from several suppliers and two of the best are Summit THC and Barely Legal Hemp.<\/p>\n
\nMy primary use was to better manage intrusive thoughts after the death of my youngest brother after exercise and meditation failed.<\/p>\n
\nI didn\u2019t test any products during the day. All use was at night and based on the manufacturer’s packaging and web sites, the product effects last 4-6 hours.
\nOverall, the Delta 9 products worked best for me. I\u2019m continuing to research the various products and there appears to be more concern (and future regulations or restrictions) around Delta 8 and other, newer compounds.<\/p>\n
