THC gummies

Weed gummies are chewable candies infused with cannabis extract, and they are the most common edible on dispensary menus. Each piece is a soft, usually fruit flavored chew, sold in a resealable pouch or tin with the cannabinoid content printed for the package and for each gummy. You chew and swallow them, so they pass through your digestive system before anything is absorbed. Effects commonly begin thirty minutes to two hours later and last several hours, which is slower and longer than inhaling. Options include THC only, CBD only, and balanced ratios, plus versions built around specific cannabinoids such as CBN or THCV. Flavors run from single fruits to sour and tropical blends, and vegan pectin versions sit next to traditional gelatin ones.

Pectin comes from fruit, so those gummies are vegan and tend to have a shorter, cleaner bite that breaks apart. Gelatin is animal derived and gives the chewier, stretchier texture people associate with classic gummy candy. Pectin also holds its shape better in warm weather, while gelatin can go tacky. Most gummies are then tossed in sugar or a light starch coating, which keeps pieces from fusing in the pouch and softens the plant taste from the extract.
