What Are CBD Gummy Bears?

CBD Gummy Bears Are Edible CBD. For some readers that may seem like a “duh” statement, but let’s unpack it. CBD can be consumed in a number of ways:

• Smoking/Inhalation – The fastest acting, but usually the smelliest and shortest-lived

• Sublingual – Usually an oil is placed under the tongue.

• Topically – For targeted use on muscles and sore areas

• Edible – slower to take effect, but considerably more potent and longer-lasting. (CBD gummy bears fall into this category)

In edible form, CBD needs to pass through your stomach and digestive system before the user feels any effect; a process that takes longer than any other ingestion method. The upside is that the effects of edible CBD last longer than any other method.

What’s The Difference Between CBD Gummy Bears Vs. Hemp Gummy Bears? (Buyer beware!)

“Hemp” and “CBD” are not interchangeable terms. CBD gummy bears advertised as containing CBD, (should and) will contain cannabidiol. Products advertised as containing hemp more broadly may in fact just contain hemp seed oil and nothing else. You may be paying a premium for a product containing absolutely no CBD. Because the FDA and USDA are still writing rules for cannabis-infused products, some vendors are taking advantage of new CBD buyers and passing their hemp-seed oil products off as CBD products with creative packaging and industry-specific terminology.

How Many CBD Gummy Bears Should I Take?

One of the most common questions new CBD users always have is: “how much should I take?” Because CBD gummy bears are pre-dosed, users can easily control how much CBD they’re taking compared to a hemp-flower smoker.

We always recommend new users start with 35mg of CBD, and gradually adjust the dosage as needed.
