Do CBD Gummies Get You High?

What Are Things About CBD That Most People Don’t Know?
What are things about CBD that most people don’t know? Not all CBD is the same quality or created equal. Full-spectrum CBD has all the naturally occuring compounds in it, which includes trace amounts of THC. Broad-spectrum CBD contains many CBD compounds but not THC. Isolate CBD is the most pure form of CBD and has nothing else in it.
The Hemp plant is a hyperaccumulator, which means it easily absorbs anything in the soil that its grown in. That means it could absorb heavy metals or nasty pesticides. This is why it is important to buy from a company that is transparent about where its hemp comes from.
CBD isn’t a miracle drug. I love CBD and THC, but it can’t cure everything.
Will You Test Positive for a Drug Test With CBD Gummies?

Most brands of gummies recommend starting slow, between 5 to 10 mg, for your first dose.
It’s helpful to keep a journal and write down how much you take, at what time, how long it takes to take effect, how long it lasts, and how it makes you feel. You can then then adjust how much you’re taking after you’ve tracked it for a few days.

CBD is touted for its therapeutic benefits. However, there are over 100 different cannabinoids in the plant and it’s not fully understood.
I’ve seen full-spectrum CBD promoted as the best for health because it contains everything from the plant. There’s still a ton of research being done to better understand this theory.

CBD Gummies to Consider
Below are some of the gummy brands that I’ve tried that I feel comfortable recommending.
Infusionz Delta 9 THC Gummies with CBD
Infusionz Delta 9 THC Gummies with CBD are my current favorite edibles on the market. They contain 5 mg of THC and 25 mg of CBD per gummy. What I particularly love about these is that they give you a slight buzzy feeling. Infusionz recommend that this may have psychotropic effects, so don’t drive on them, operate heavy machinery, and keep out of reach of children. I really appreciate the minimal added sugar of 2 mg. I would prefer sugar free, but this is a great option.
They work exceptionally well at improving my mood, defeating nausea, and improving my sleep quality. The Blue Dream Berry is my favorite flavor. The Watermelon Zkittlez name makes me laugh out loud. One other great thing about Infusionz is the product consistency. Every bottle feels and tastes the same. I know I’m getting the same high quality edibles every time.
Editor’s Note: Sadly, Infusionz is no longer in business.
Kush Queen Gummies
I’ve tried many flavors and types of the Kush Queen edibles. including Pride Edition CBD + Delta 8 THC gummies, Strawberry Delta 8 THC+ CBD gummies, Watermelon Delta 8 THC+ CBD gummies, and Lemon Delta 8 THC+ CBD gummies. These are around 15 mg CBD and 10 mg Delta-8 THC. They have awesome flavor and a nice full body buzz. My issue with them has been consistency. They often stick together so you are forced to take three to four at a time or get a knife to hack them apart. You don’t have this issue at all with Infusionz.
The Trusted Lab Extra Strength Gummies
The Trusted Lab Extra Strength Gummies have Vitamin C in them and they’re pretty tasty. These are 50 mg of CBD and 500 mg of Vitamin C. They have 2 grams of sugar.
But What If I Hate Gummies?
If you hate edibles, or you don’t want added sugar in your diet from edibles, I recommend the Herbal Clinic MD 25 mg gel caps. These CBD pills come from 7+ years of cross breeding two of the best hemp strains available. They also use a patent pending nano emulsification technology this allows for faster onset and longer lasting relief. I prefer to take these at night before bed, as they’re sugar free.
Final Thoughts
On a very personal note, due to the major surgery that I am facing, I am taking CBD more frequently now than I was 2 months ago. It helps to keep the panic, grief, and worry at a more manageable level.

after watching one of your recent vids where you talk about your upcoming surgery, are you really going to miss your you know what once they’re gone for good?
Well, I plan to have both the double mastectomy and breast reconstruction done, and I hope to stay around the same size I am now, just much perkier. So I don’t think I’ll miss my traiterous tatas that I’m getting cut out because I’ll have new ones to love.
When I was recommending stuff to my parents, it turns out lots of blood pressure medications can have bad interactions with CBD so be sure to check your medications and how they interact with cannabis. This is easy to check online as more repositories are including interactions with CBD and THC in drug interaction information.
Totally agree with you! That’s why I wrote to say that people should speak to their primary care physician to make sure there will be no interactions or issues.
