Delta 9 + CBD Gummies

For years now, people have been legally enjoying the health and wellness benefits of CBD gummies. However, many of these same people would like to be able to access gummies that also contain THC. This is the psychoactive compound that makes legalized marijuana so appealing. 

Some exciting new gummy products have been hitting the market in recent months, which contain both CBD and the compound Delta-9 THC. These gummies contain between 5 and 10mg of THC, which is enough to feel the benefits of the compound and the entourage effect between Delta-9 THC and CBD. 

But is this legal? Are these gummies safe to buy or order in a state where marijuana is still criminalized? Yes, these gummies are perfectly legal, and here is why:

When the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, or "Farm Bill" as its commonly known, was signed into law, hemp became a federally legal crop. This law defines hemp as a cannabis plant of the Sativa variety that contains less than .03% THC on a dry weight basis. That is to say, once the plant has been dried and all excess water has been removed. 

So by federal law, as long as the THC in a product comes from a hemp plant whose total THC weight is less than .03%, the product is legal. 

This is big news and has created a new fast-selling product in an already rapidly growing market. And Delta-9 THC+CBD gummies have shot to the top of many people's CBD shopping lists. But what makes these gummies different than those that have had the THC filtered out? And with all the options available, what makes this the best health and wellness choice?

While this combination may look like something teenagers have carved into a tree or park bench, it is actually a pairing of highly effective compounds that provide many wellness benefits to your mind and body. Separately these two cannabinoids are helpful, but they work better as a team, with each enhancing and improving the other. 

Our bodies are home to a complex system of messengers and receptors called the Endocannabinoid System(ECS). This amazing system helps keep our body in a state of homeostasis or balance and working at optimum levels. And while there is still much to learn about the intricate functions of the ECS, we know that activating it can help with many issues, including inflammation, digestion, insomnia, and anxiety. 

CBD and THC are just two of the more than 100 cannabinoids found in hemp. When cannabinoids are introduced into our systems, they communicate and interact with our ECS receptors in a fashion similar to our own endocannabinoids. However, each one works a little bit differently. This means that the more we study and understand the hemp plant, the more we will be able to customize our individual serving to our body's needs. 

For example, CBD has been shown to work closely with receptors regulating our nervous systems. As a result, many people find it extremely helpful in managing muscle and joint discomfort or managing life's daily stress. 

On the other hand, THC is exceptionally effective at signaling our brains to release more serotonin. Seratonin is also known as the "bliss molecule" and helps us feel more at ease. For this reason, THC in low doses is beneficial for people who suffer from anxiety or mild depression. 

CBN, another of hemp's useful cannabinoids, promotes a good night's sleep, which we know is essential for keeping our bodies adequately balanced. 

And while all of these are wonderful benefits on their own, they will always be better together thanks to the entourage effect. 

Delta-9 THC has approximately twice the potency of Delta-8, which up until recently was the compound found in most gummies. Having double the potency means stronger, longer-lasting benefits. 

During the recent pandemic, many people found themselves bombarded with messaging about their health and wellness. They were being told about their immune systems, what they can do to support it and how it is negatively affected by things like stress and lack of sleep. This led thousands of people to begin thinking outside of the pharmaceutical box and looking for more natural, personalized ways to improve their well-being. 

THC + CBD gummies provide a wide spectrum of benefits for not only your physical but also mental and emotional wellness. 

Bodily Repairs

THC + CBD both exhibit properties similar to our bodies' naturally occurring anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are crucial to our bodies' efforts to repair cellular damage and remove free radicals from our systems. 

THC + CBD gummies can also be used to help achieve a good night's sleep, which is when our bodies do the majority of their cellular repairs. 

Relaxation

Taking a small dose of CBD in the morning can help you start your day on the right foot. Many folks find that it helps them focus on their daily tasks and also reduces anxiety, making their day more enjoyable overall. 

If you are looking for deeper relaxation, the kind that comes with an oversized t-shirt, a plate full of snacks, and your television, THC + CBD gummies can help with that. Consuming CBD gummies with a strong THC content will help slow the CB1 receptors in your brain. This is what causes the sleepy feeling many people experience after using marijuana.

Controlled Consumption

Ethical gummy manufacturers take quality control seriously and have outside testing done on their products. This ensures that what it says on the label is what you are getting.

Why does this matter? Because different doses of CBD and THC can have different effects and knowing exactly how much you are taking makes it easier to control the effects and tailor your dosage to your body. This is especially helpful for people who are just starting out on their THC + CBD journey and don't know their tolerance levels yet.
