MEET THE GUMMIES THAT WILL CHILL YOU OUT
Remember when you were a kid in a candy store and got all excited when you entered the bulk aisle? It was essentially a moment of childhood freedom and one that came with a sweet feeling of relief — you were indulging in a rare, parental-approved treat. Well, you can enjoy that same type of feeling today with CBD gummies. They are the adult way to give yourself a little treat, only instead of a sugar rush, you get chilled out. Win-win, right?
Okay, we bet you’re probably wondering how this actually happens; how can anything with sugar calm you down? It’s a fair thought to have, trust us, we get the immediate contradiction at play. Luckily though, we’re here to provide you a quick guide on how CBD gummies do exactly that.
Let’s first cover our bases in the most basic way and get those unfamiliar with CBD up to speed.
What Is CBD?
CBD is a substance that many confuse with THC. Yet, this is not the case. While the two are both derived from the cannabis plant, they couldn’t be more different! Yep, it’s like comparing apples to oranges, you can’t do that unless you’r,e really stubborn and maybe a few drinks in.
For one, CBD is non-intoxicating. It won’t lead to a “stoned” feeling like THC does. The reason for this is simple: THC activates the CB1 receptor in the brain, causing aeuphoric “high”, while CBD does not. On the other hand, CBD affects signaling through CB1 and CB2 receptors indirectly and can increase levels of the body’s own naturally-produced cannabinoids (known as endocannabinoids) by inhibiting the enzymes that break them down- and without feeling intoxicated. CBD has been linked to reducing anxiety ,fighting off acne, and decreasing pain. While it’s not magic, we like to think it’s pretty close.
Got It, But Do CBD Gummies Actually Work?
It seems counter-intuitive to mix something healthy (CBD) with something sweet (candy). We get that. Yet, think about multivitamins, they’re infused with healthy nutrients and do their job; it’s the same thing with CBD gummies. They are just an edible way to get the benefits of the substance. At White Label, we also focus on products that use the healthiest and most natural sweeteners possible.
The primary difference many people report between consuming CBD through a gummy versus a vaporizer pen or dropper oil is that it may take a little longer to feel the effect and may have a correspondingly longer lasting effect. This is pretty much common sense, since, if you inhale something or place anything liquid under your tongue, the barriers are minimal so the effects start at a faster rate.
The simple reason for this comes down to science. Your body can’t just magically consume something solid, and boom, it’s absorbed. It has a process in place, aka digestion. So, to answer the question: yes, gummies work, but they take a wee bit longer than something more direct like vaping or placing oil under your tongue.
What’s more, they are a great option for those that don’t love the bitter aftertaste that’s associated with CBD when taken by itself. Since gummies are flavored, they mask that sometimes unwanted taste.
How Do I Take CBD Gummies?
It’s as easy as pop-chew-swallow. Gummies contain a set amount of CBD so you know exactly what you’re getting per serving. We recommend that you always start with a small dose, and gradually increase your intake as you go along. Once you find a dose that feels good for you, you can continue that forever, since CBD is non-habit forming and non-addictive.
How Do I Know If I’m Getting The Real Thing?
It’s very important to do your research. Luckily, though, here at White Label Market, we do the research for you so you know that any of the brands you’re buying from us will be certifiably safe.
One of our newest offerings, Not Pot, was added into our product selection since they’re one such trust-worthy brand. They partner with small-scale farmers in Oregon and Colorado who legally grow USA-based hemp in compliance with governmental laws. They also take measures to make sure that there is no THC in their products and their products have been lab-tested. And the other ingredients are also high quality. Their bear-shaped gummies are a delicious strawberry flavor, so when we mentioned having an adult treat earlier, we meant it. Not Pot will hit all the stops for an #adulting level indulgence.
