(Newswire.net — March 6, 2021) — Candies do nothing but destroy your teeth. You may have heard this several times from your mother when you were small. But times have changed, and what was once considered unhealthy is now making headlines for its many health benefits. Of course, this isn’t the typical candy you’ve come to love in your childhood. We’re talking about CBD gummies. 

CBD? Isn’t that a type of marijuana? No, it isn’t. It is a cannabis compound that doesn’t contain the psychoactive element THC. Therefore, you won’t get high if you eat CBD gummies.

CBD edibles are now gaining popularity because of the convenience they offer. You may not want to take out your CBD oil and massage it on your hands and legs while coming back home. Instead, pop a couple of CBD gummies and keep chewing them. They provide similar health benefits as other CBD products. Most importantly, CBD edibles are available in various flavors. From cotton candy to the good-old strawberry, you wouldn’t run out of choices.

There are two types of CBD edibles:

1. CBD-dominant edibles

These contain little to no amount of THC and are widely available. They don’t intoxicate you, and you can eat them whenever you want. These gummies are ideal for those who want to consume CBD without mixing it in foods, salads, or morning smoothies. As already mentioned, they come in various flavors. Make sure you check the percentage of CBD present in each gummy. You can balance your dosage according to the number of gummies you eat.

2. Balanced-CBD edibles

These are not widely available because they contain a small percentage of THC. Consuming a few of these gummies together may get you high. These gummies are not legal in many states. Therefore, try to stay away from them. Don’t forget to check the ingredients of the gummy before ordering your pack. The last thing you want is to break the law, so do your due diligence before buying.

CBD oil vs. CBD edibles

This is a debatable topic: are CBD edibles better than CBD oil? Many people feel that CBD edibles are better because they can eat them whenever they want. On the other hand, many CBD users think that CBD oil provides instantaneous effects. For example, if you apply CBD oil topically on your knees or other joints, it will relieve the pain almost immediately.

Honestly, both products have pros and cons, and you need to decide based on your personal preference. CBD edibles are more comfortable to consume. You can carry them everywhere and eat them like candies whenever you want. For this reason, it’s the best way to start using CBD. However, CBD oil isn’t as convenient. You may not want to take out a bottle on the bus and start massaging your knee because of practicality concerns.

There is no doubt that CBD edibles are more convenient than CBD oil. Moreover, with so many flavors available, you may want to keep various gummies handy to try one for each day of the week.
