Gummies on the Go: How Delta-9 Gummies Fit into a Busy Lifestyle

Convenient and portable, Delta-9 gummies are perfect when you’re on the go.

As you grow older, sleep problems, stress, and pain can become worse, making you feel like you need cannabis more than ever. However, the hassle of smoking cannabis, and procuring legal cannabis products can be a deterrent from consuming the plant.

Fortunately, recent changes in federal law have made it possible for adults throughout the country to conveniently and legally enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Adults from coast to coast can order Delta-9 gummies directly to their doorstep. Portable and discrete, Delta-9 gummies are perfect for enjoying on the go.

The Appeal of Delta-9 Gummies

The 2018 Farm Bill made it possible for people throughout the United States to access federally legal cannabis products for the first time. It legalized the production of industrial hemp, and the sale of hemp-derived products, containing less than 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC by weight.

The Farm Bill helped to create an entirely new industry for cannabis wellness products derived from industrial hemp, all of which are legally available nationwide. Adults throughout the country can now purchase legal edibles, tinctures, drinks, vaping products, and many other cannabis-derived products.

Delta-9 gummies have emerged as one of the most popular hemp products on the market. In large part, this is due to several benefits:

• They’re convenient and tasty.
• They’re easy to transport. You can pack them with the rest of your daily supplements.
• Every gummy delivers the same premeasured amount of cannabinoids, so it’s easy to take the dose you want.
• Unlike traditional cannabis, Delta-9 gummies are federally legal for adults to purchase anywhere in the country. You can have them delivered right to your home.
• Delta-9 gummies are available in many strengths and flavors, so you can have exactly the experience you want.

Delta-9 THC also has several wellness benefits, which is why marijuana has been medically legalized in many states across the country. Some of the ailments medical marijuana may be prescribed for include stress, appetite stimulation, and nausea reduction.

Delta-9 Gummies vs. Other Cannabis Edibles

Delta-9 gummies are a kind of cannabis edible, i.e., a cannabis product that you can eat or drink. Others include brownies, cookies, cereal bars, chips, drinks, mints, lozenges, culinary oils, and chocolates.

Delta-9 gummies are the most popular cannabis edible. In the United States, 73.9 percent of all edibles sold are gummies.

People like them so much because:

• They’re small and can be consumed in one bite. Unlike other small edibles, such as THC lozenges, you don’t have to wait for gummies to dissolve.
• They’re low in calories and won’t affect your diet; whereas edibles like chips, corn puffs, and cereal bars have just as many calories as mainstream snacks.
• They don’t dry out or lose their flavor as quickly as some other edibles.
• They’re more discreet than other edibles. You can even remove a gummy from its original package and store it with other gummy supplements.

Making Delta-9 Gummies Part of Your Daily Routine

It’s easy to incorporate Delta-9 gummies into an active and busy lifestyle. Just a few possibilities:

• Morning. If you enjoy reading the news or sipping tea in the morning as a way to relax and focus, a Delta-9 gummy can be a great addition to your morning ritual.
• Afternoon. When you’re out and about during the weekend, consuming a Delta-9 gummy can be a great way to enhance adventures with friends or family.
• Evening. When you’re ready to unwind as the day draws to a close, let a Delta-9 gummy help you slip into a calm state of relaxation before bedtime.

Storing and Carrying Delta-9 Gummies

Because sugar in a sufficiently high proportion impedes microbial growth, Delta-9 gummies, like all gummy candies, have a long shelf life of about 6 to 8 months. To maintain their flavor and potency, though, it’s a good idea to keep your gummies in their original package until you’re ready to use them.

Store your Delta-9 gummies in a cool, dark place where they will be protected from light. They will have the best possible flavor and texture if you keep them at a temperature of about 60°F to 70°F. Avoid freezing them, as they won’t soften fully when thawed.
When consuming Delta-9 gummies in a public place, for the sake of discretion you may want to transfer them to a different container, like a pill case from your local pharmacy or a small silicone jar.

Traveling With Delta-9 Gummies

You should have no trouble traveling from state to state with Delta-9 gummies if the gummies are derived from industrial hemp and contain less than 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC by weight. Cannabis gummies that satisfy both of these requirements are federally legal and therefore permitted for travel between states.

Traveling internationally with Delta-9 gummies, however, requires different considerations. When you travel, you are always responsible for knowing the relevant laws of your destination country. If you do decide to fly with Delta-9 gummies, consider removing them from their original package and putting them in a separate container. TSA agents do not search baggage for cannabis products, but they are required to report any items that they suspect are illegal.

Incorporating Delta-9 Gummies into Your Daily Activities

Delta-9 gummies can enhance activities that you perform throughout the day.

• Exercise. If your workout regimen is getting tedious, consuming a Delta-9 gummy is a great way to help get through that next set of reps. THC may also benefit exercise in other ways. In a survey of 131 adults who enjoy using cannabis before or during physical activity, respondents reported that cannabis improved focus and made sessions more enjoyable. Many felt that cannabis even helped them maintain proper form by helping them be more in tune with their body.
• Social events. If you’re the type of person who enjoys having an occasional drink at social events, taking a Delta-9 gummy is an excellent alternative that can provide a gentle sense of euphoria without making you feel inebriated.
• Relaxation. A Delta-9 gummy is the perfect way to enhance whatever you enjoy doing during your downtime. Try a gummy before sitting down to watch a film or to play your favorite video game. Research suggests that Delta-9 THC may reduce stress, enhancing relaxing moments.

Safety Considerations When Using Delta-9 Gummies

Delta-9 gummies can greatly enhance your daily activities. However, because Delta-9 THC is a psychoactive compound, you should keep in mind a few important safety considerations.

• As in the case of all cannabis edibles, it takes a while for Delta-9 gummies to take effect. Most of the THC won’t enter your bloodstream until it has been processed by your digestive system, which can take an hour or more. The effects of THC may be unpleasant if you consume too much so don’t go for a second gummy until you’re sure that the effects of the first have peaked.
• If you are not an experienced THC user and are trying Delta-9 gummies for the first time, try splitting a gummy and taking half a dose. Then wait at least two hours before taking more.
• Never mix Delta-9 gummies with alcohol or other mind-altering substances. Together, THC and alcohol can boost each other’s intoxicating side effects, including reduced inhibitions, impaired motor skills, slowed reflexes, and drowsiness.
• Don’t consume a Delta-9 gummy before driving or operating heavy machinery.
• If you have a medical condition or are taking medication, consult with your doctor before trying Delta-9 gummies.

A Word on Responsibility

Special legal and safety considerations apply to Delta-9 gummies, so it’s vital that you always use them responsibly. If you’ve never used THC before, start with a low dose to avoid having a bad experience due to overconsumption. Also, keep in mind that the effects of Delta-9 gummies can last for several hours, and that using THC is not appropriate in every kind of environment.
