How to Choose the Right Cannabis Gummies for Your Body
With so many different weed products on the market, it can be difficult to determine what the best cannabis gummies are and which one is best for our unique bodies. When it comes to choosing the right cannabis gummy, you’ll want to ask yourself a few questions to get the right answer. The biggest one being, what are you trying to achieve with your cannabis product? There are many things that go into this, including strength, taste and compound ratios that have big effects on the user’s experience with any given product. Something might be the ‘best on the market,’ but if it doesn’t make you feel good or tastes weird to you, you probably wouldn’t go back for that same product. Keep reading for some helpful tips on determining the best cannabis gummies for your body!
What is the Desired Effect?
This is probably the most important question you should ask yourself when choosing a cannabis product of any kind. What are you hoping the product will do? If you’re looking for something to ease anxiety or alleviate symptoms of a chronic pain condition, you might want to consider products that are high in CBD or CBD-only. These products won’t get you high but will help support lower levels of anxiety and support your body’s systems that help regulate pain. For those that want a euphoric lift in their products, you could consider seeking out a product with higher levels of THC.
Strength
The next natural step is to decide what strength you’d like your product in. For most that are new to cannabis gummies, it’s smarter to go with lower concentrations so you can see how the compounds affect you. Products can be found with varying strengths, and most enjoy purchasing something with smaller concentrations per gummy so you can up your dosage as you see fit. For those that want something with a bigger kick, stronger products are certainly available on the market. It just depends on how used to cannabis you are already and what your body will be able to handle.
Taste
Next on our list is taste. Taste isn’t necessarily related to how a product works, but it can greatly affect our experience of using something. If it doesn’t taste good, it’s less likely that you’ll enjoy the experience that follows. There are many flavor options when it comes to cannabis gummies, so try a few out in your favorite candy flavors for a better experience overall! You might find that certain gummies taste better than others, and that’s totally ok! It’s all about what works best for you and what makes for the most enjoyable experience possible.
Pay Attention to Additives
As with normal candies, it’s important to make sure that we are giving our bodies the best ingredients possible. Gummies that have a lot of additive sugars and dyes should be avoided as those compounds can lessen the quality of the product and can be undesirable for those with tolerance issues to additive sugars and chemicals. Plus, companies that make an effort to make their gummies all natural show a dedication to serving both the planet and our bodies that ingest the products they’re making. Avoid gummies that have added sugars, coloring or chemicals.
Ratio and Why it Matters
One of the big things that can change how a product affects you is from the ratio of THC to CBD. Most ‘CBD only’ products actually do contain a small amount of THC. This is what it means when a product is made with ‘full spectrum’ CBD. There are many gummies that advertise a ratio that looks something like 2:1. This is referring to the amount of CBD molecules vs. THC molecules in the product. This is a helpful way to determine how the product will affect you and whether or not it will work for your desired outcome and body. For some, having a closer ratio might be more beneficial, but others might not like the effect of the THC in their gummies. Check out these ratioed gummies to pinpoint exactly what you need in your cannabis gummy products!
When it comes down to it, finding the right cannabis gummy means doing a little research and experimentation. First and foremost, you should have an idea of what effect you’d like to achieve from the product. Are you looking for something with a euphoric lift, or something that will ease anxiety and pain without affecting your mental state? There are many products that contain small amounts of active THC and equally as many that are CBD only or CBD heavy that will help maintain a calm mental energy without the euphoric effects of THC. Finding the right cannabis gummy is easy when you take these simple factors into account! Have fun exploring the vast world of cannabis products!
