Let’s face it, most of us like gummies. Especially if you were one of the poor kids in the neighborhood who couldn’t afford them and watched as the more affluent children greedily guzzled them in your presence. It so happened that Timmy didn’t see a link between this form of bullying and the theft of his beloved teddy bear, Theodore, who was later found floating on the Hudson in several pieces.
Cannabidiol is famed for the fact it doesn’t cause an intoxicating high. Good news if you don’t want to accidentally go to work shirtless, or pantless. The cannabinoid’s popularity has skyrocketed with a frankly absurd number of products hitting the shelves. From tinctures to blankets and probably teddy bears, CBD is seemingly everywhere.
CBD gummies are one of the most popular products, and one of the few that isn’t a marketing gimmick. They are a genuinely useful way to get your CBD fix as users love the fruity taste, not to mention the convenience. Below, I look into the different benefits of CBD gummies.
Your Lungs Will Thank You
We all know that smoking is absurdly unhealthy. Yet, tens of millions of people still love the feeling they get from their daily death sticks. This proves two things. One, marketing is absolutely everything and two, hardly anyone listens to their doctor.
Cigarette makers knew their creation was killing people and kept this information under wraps, cigarette wraps in fact. Eventually, the news broke out that shockingly, inhaling combusted material filled with an inordinate number of chemicals was bad for your health.
Logically, this should have killed Big Tobacco faster than a Whitecastle slider exits your system but incredibly, they not only survived, but thrived. Posting images of people looking close to death on ventilators on cigarette packages has not worked, at all.
It seems that the allure of nicotine is stronger than the desire to breathe normally. Cigarette smoking culture is all about being cool, trendy, and sociable. It leaves out the bit where you wheeze uncontrollably, cough up blood, get cancer and die.
Doctors tell people not to smoke, still they smoke. They say to eat less junk food and exercise more, obesity rates skyrocket. Doctors need to do reverse psychology. Tell everyone to eat burgers and stay at home. Just watch as sales of kale and treadmills go through the roof.
In any case, CBD gummies prevent you from having to smoke or indeed vape. Vaping, quite frankly, isn’t all that healthy. Yes, it is better than smoking but a baseball bat to the groin is better than a bullet in the head. It doesn’t mean you want it.
You Get the Right Dosage
With CBD gummies, you know how much of the cannabinoid is in each piece. At least you do when the brand includes updated third-party lab reports. If they don’t, the seller could break wind into every batch and add whatever the hell they like. Actually, I don’t think a lab report can measure the flatulence content of a CBD gummies batch. Oh well.
Knowing the right dose is critical. One of the less pleasant side effects involves diarrhea. Yes, if you consume too much CBD, you could spend many uncomfortable hours getting up with a warm piece of paper in your hand, and you won’t even be doing the best man speech at your friend’s wedding.
By the way, with no lab reports, there’s a real risk of your CBD gummies having too much THC. This is the cannabinoid in marijuana known for getting people high. The industry is unregulated, so there are reports of CBD products containing way more than the legal allowable limit of THC.
This is a problem if you gleefully take CBD in the morning, only to wake up wondering why your car is wrapped around a pole. The police will wonder why you’re dancing around the same pole.
CBD Gummies, Fun, Convenient, and Tasty
There are few better ways to enjoy cannabidiol than through CBD gummies. They taste great and you can carry them with you. They look and taste like regular gummies and enable you to decide how much of the cannabinoid you’re using. With this information, you can keep your car on the road, your clothes on your back, and your butt off the toilet seat.
