THC Gummies & CBD Edibles
Hemp-derived delta-9 THC and CBD gummies and other edibles, labeled in milligrams per piece. They are typically felt after 30 to 90 minutes, sometimes up to two hours, and last longer than most other formats, so wait before taking more.
A first-timer's guide to THC gummies and CBD edibles
Each gummy or other edible carries a set amount, which makes edibles simple to measure. They also take a while to be felt, which is why it is easy to take too much. Here is what to know before you buy.
Per piece vs. per container
The big number on the front of the package is often the total for the whole container, not one gummy. Find the per-piece amount on the back label.
- A SunMed Anytime jar marked 750mg holds 30 gummies with 25mg of hemp extract each.
- A SunMed Beyond trial pack marked 250mg holds five gummies with 50mg of full spectrum hemp extract each.
- Reefer’s Bay and 3CHI sell hemp-derived delta-9 THC gummies labeled 10mg per piece, and many other THC gummies we carry, such as Find Wunder, are also sold as 10mg per piece.
- Tennessee caps an edible at 15mg of hemp-derived cannabinoids such as THC per serving, so check the serving size on stronger treats.
Check what a total measures: THC, CBD, all cannabinoids together, or the whole hemp extract. Then go by the per-piece cannabinoid amounts on the label rather than dividing a total yourself. If the labels disagree, do not guess: check the certificate of analysis or ask us before you buy.
What the ratios mean
Some labels show a ratio such as 10:1, 2:1 or 1:1:1. That is the balance of cannabinoids in each piece, usually CBD to THC, sometimes with a third cannabinoid such as CBG or CBN. A 10:1 gummy has far less THC than a 1:1 gummy with the same total. The label says which cannabinoid each number stands for.
How long edibles take
Edibles are typically felt after 30 to 90 minutes, sometimes up to two hours, especially on a full stomach, and commonly for four to eight hours. Everyone responds differently.
Start low and wait
- If you are new to THC, start with a gummy labeled at a low amount per piece. Cutting a stronger one is not a reliable way to measure, because a piece is not guaranteed to split the amount evenly.
- Wait at least two hours before taking more. The most common mistake is taking a second piece before the first has been felt.
- Do not drive after taking a THC edible.
- Keep edibles in their original packaging and out of reach of children and pets. They look like candy.
Checking the certificate of analysis
Tennessee requires hemp-derived products like these to carry a QR code linking to a certificate of analysis (COA) from a testing lab. When you scan it, check that:
- the batch or lot number matches the one printed on your package;
- the THC and CBD amounts in the potency section line up with the label;
- the lab is named and the test date is recent;
- any contaminant panels included, such as pesticides, heavy metals or residual solvents, are marked as passing.
Buying in Tennessee
Hemp-derived THC products are sold in person to adults 21 and older at a TABC-licensed retailer; bring a valid photo ID. They cannot be delivered or shipped, so every purchase happens at the counter. Our Tennessee hemp law page explains the current rules.
