15 benefits of CBD gummies and other CBD sweets

09. 04. 2024

Are CBD gummies popular because of nostalgia, great taste, or simply because of their health benefits? All kinds of CBD-infused treats are currently attracting the attention of the entire hemp industry, even though there are more chemical compounds in hemp that deserve attention.

The most well-known one, which attracts the most attention in the long term, is undoubtedly THC . Quite probably also because this substance is responsible for the well-known euphoric effects popularized in the 1960s - these include changes in behavior and perception, disruption of contact with reality, and hallucinations may also appear. CBD is a lesser-known compound with no psychoactive effects that has only recently come to the fore.
but recently there is a rapid increase in research that shows that CBD oil can help in the fight against many types of diseases, including inflammation and pain of various nature, sleep disorders and anxiety, without the psychotropic effects of THC . CBD in the form of edibles also brings great taste and fun. We bring you a list of at least 15 basic benefits that come with the use of CBD gummies (soft gelatin candies) and other treats with CBD.

Fifteen benefits and health benefits of CBD and gummies goodies with CBD

1) CBD candies work for a longer time

When you smoke or vaporize CBD , the chemicals go directly into your brain. But when you eat a CBD candy , the chemicals pass through the stomach and liver so the body actually digests them. This means that they will undergo more thorough processing in the body and will thus have a stronger effect.

Together with You digest the CBD candies in your stomach along with any other food you have consumed. As a result, CBD is released slowly. A longer digestion time also leads to longer-lasting effects of CBD . In fact, taking one CBD edible can provide two to four hours of relaxation. Compared to CBD vaporization , CBD candies may take longer to work, but the wait is more than worth it in most cases.

 

2) CBD sweets are delicious and fun

Most of us have grown up believing that drugs and sweets are two completely different things - that drugs often taste unpleasant but help us fight diseases, and sweets, on the other hand, we like (sometimes so much so that it's hard to stop) , but they are not healthy for us. Now these boundaries are crossing. After years of bitter-tasting pills that barely pass down the throat, adults now have a fruity treat to chew that's also healthy. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

 

3) CBD candies do not have psychotropic effects

CBD candies may seem like the perfect psychedelic candy. They have fun colors, crazy flavors, and many of them look like the teddy bears you know from childhood. However, CBD- infused gummies are THC -free , so you can enjoy all the health benefits of cannabis without the chaos in your head. Although CBD is a compound derived from hemp, it does not have the intoxicating effects of THC. This is great news for anyone who wants to experience the relaxing rather than psychedelic effects of cannabis.

 

4) Sweets with CBD improve mood

They may not have psychoactive effects, but that does not mean that CBD candies have no effect on our brain. We have always thought of CBD as a relaxant, and now we know that it also acts as a mild antidepressant.

Researchers found that rats with induced depression who were given CBD were more likely to be calmer than those who were not fed cannabidiol (CBD) . They also found that CBD had no effect on the motor functions of the rodents, proving that the antidepressant effect was a direct result of CBD.

5) CBD candies are gentle on the lungs

Although vape pens are all the rage these days, their effects on the lungs have not yet been established. In addition , some vape products may contain diluents such as propylene glycol and polyethylene glycols , which have been found to be carcinogenic when heated to high temperatures.

You may be able to find such products without these compounds, but you can save yourself the trouble and go the safe route with CBD candies .

6) CBD snacks get along well with other herbal products

Some things work better in pairs. CBD is great not only by itself, but also with other herbal products. Research shows that CBD can interact with the molecules of other plants and thus increase their effects. Lavender, for example, is commonly used in combination with CBD.

Like other plants, lavender contains terpenes, which are molecules that give the plant its characteristic aroma. Of course, cannabis also contains terpenes.

When these herbs are combined, there is an abundance of terpenes that combine the healing properties of CBD with the calming properties of lavender. Anyone up for lavender tea with CBD gummies?

7) CBD sweets are simply good for you

Relaxation should be relaxing. After all, it also releases THC. But this substance can also cause panic attacks. This is because THC affects neurotransmitters in the brain and induces a "fight or flight" response associated with high levels of stress and anxiety.

With CBD, you get the exact opposite. CBD reduces the level of autonomic arousal, thereby actually suppressing the "fight or flight" stress response and reducing heart rate and autonomic arousal.

 

8) You can buy CBD goodies online

Want to have CBD gummies or other cannabidiol goodies delivered to your home? Just a few clicks and you will soon have CBD candies at home. A number of online sellers, and our Hemnia is no exception, ship all over Europe.

CBD edibles sold online either do not contain THC at all - this is the case with our Hemnia Gummies – or have a very low THC content. The amount allowed by law is currently less than 0.3 percent THC - from the beginning of 2022, the new legal limit for THC content in the Czech Republic will be up to 1%.

9) CBD balances the psychotropic effects of THC

Side effects such as unpleasant paranoia can occur when using THC . These effects can be mitigated by the use of CBD , and although its effects take time to kick in, CBD candies can moderate this condition to a more acceptable level.

10) CBD gummies and other CBD sweets are easy to dose

Taking CBD via vaporization is similar to eating chips from an XXL pack. It is difficult to estimate in advance how much you will end up using. CBD snacks are pre-dosed, so you shouldn't unknowingly exceed your limit. With edibles, you know exactly how much you have consumed and how much more you need to reach the desired state.

 

11) CBD edibles are discreet

Except for exceptions, they are not vaporizers just twice as discreet. They tend to be bulky, a significant cloud of smoke is quite visible and, for example, it will not look good in the office. Even small devices can attract unwanted attention.

In contrast, CBD edibles are very discreet. They fit easily in a purse or pocket, and your co-workers probably won't bat an eye when you pack some in a plastic snack bag.

12) CBD sweets and treats are well tolerated by users

One of the disadvantages of most drugs is side effects. But in the case of CBD snacks, there are very few of them. Even in higher concentrations , CBD candies cause relatively few side effects. Studies show that CBD is safe in a wide range of doses for both healthy and sick people.

However, there is evidence that high doses of CBD can enhance the effects of pharmaceutical drugs, so it is necessary that patients consult their doctor about the use of CBD.

13) CBD candies can be a good cancer prevention

Not only can CBD candies be good helpers in the treatment of a number of diseases, they can even prevent their occurrence. CBD is a known antioxidant that helps protect cells from cancer-causing free radicals by binding to and neutralizing them. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can reduce swelling and promote healing of ulcers and bleeding from the digestive tract.

14) CBD candies are effective for nausea

What to do when you have an upset stomach? Do you reach for baking soda or a soothing glass of tea? CBD candies are not only tastier and more fun, but they are also better for your health. There is a significant amount of evidence that one of the benefits of using CBD oil is that it can be used against nausea.

The so-called emetic circuits (which induce vomiting in us) in our body are influenced by receptors in the brain that respond to cannabinoid compounds such as CBD and THC. When our body absorbs CBD in edibles, thanks to the interaction of CBD with the mentioned receptors in the brain, the consumption of CBD sweets suppresses the urge to vomit, calms the stomach and prevents nausea.

15) CBD gummies and other treats relieve pain

Are CBD edibles the new pain reliever? In addition to receptors that suppress nausea, CBD also interacts with endocannabinoid receptors that relieve pain. CBD has long been known for its analgesic properties. It is credited with topical relief for arthritis, menstrual cramps, muscle pain, and is even known to soothe itching and inflammation in psoriasis and dermatitis.

Side effects of CBD sweets

Although significant research on CBD oils and CBD snacks is currently relatively scarce, small-scale studies have concluded that most people can tolerate large doses of CBD without difficulty. The researchers found no side effects on vital functions, mood, or central nervous system in subjects who took CBD .

The most commonly reported side effect was fatigue, with some individuals reporting diarrhoea, changes in weight and appetite. It was once said that happiness is the absence of pain. And CBD gummies can bring you such happiness (gelatin candies) but also other CBD sweets and treats. When consuming them, you may not even realize how many benefits CBD candies have for you. No pain, so closer to being happy.
