They say that youth is wasted on the young, and sometimes, we have to agree with whoever “they” are. Back in the day, getting high was just about carefree good vibes…No responsibilities, no worries, and definitely no one asking you to ‘pee in a cup on Monday.’

Yeah, those were the days. But now that we’re all grown up (sort of), we’ve got adult stuff to worry about. Like, how long is this high gonna last? And equally important, how long is it gonna show up on a drug test?

Turns out, not all THC is created equal, and the type of THC you pick makes a difference – Delta 8 THC, Delta 9 THC, and Delta 10 THC are all going to have different answers to these questions. Of these three forms of THC, Delta 9 (the original THC) is known for being more potent and longer lasting than others.

With Delta 9 THC gummies specifically, the good vibes can last anywhere from 4 to 12 hours, with your highest moments usually hitting around the 2 to 4 hour mark.

Thanks to the Farm Bill, hemp-derived Delta 9 products are federally legal as long as they have a THC concentration of 0.3% or less by dry weight. And you know who has GREAT Delta 9 gummies? Cheech and Chong do! Whether you’re looking for something mild and mellow, or want to forget what planet you’re on, we’ve got the perfect Delta 9 gummy for you.

How Long Do Delta 9 Gummies Take to Kick In?

Don’t expect instant results – it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours after taking a gummy before you feel anything.

However, if your gummy is made with nano-emulsified cannabis extracts, like our Cruise Chews are, you could feel things kick in after just 15 to 30 minutes, and the high will usually last about 4 hours.

Edibles that use nanotechnology break down the THC into smaller particles that are easier for your body to absorb, so the onset is much faster and the high is much shorter.

How Long Do the Effects of Delta 9 Edibles Last?

The effects of Delta 9 gummies typically last for 4 to 12 hours, though effects commonly peak at 2 to 4 hours. Your mileage may vary depending on a number of individual factors, like dosage, your tolerance level, body weight, metabolism, and whether or not the edibles use nano-emulsion technology.

Eating Gummies vs. Smoking Cannabis Duration of Effects

Since THC edibles are known for their longer-lasting effects, they’re perfect for a chill afternoon or evening when you’ve got time to kick back. The reason the high is strong and long is because when you eat a gummy, the THC passes through your digestive system to your liver where it’s converted to the more potent 11-hydroxy-THC.

On the other hand, smoking or vaping will give you a quicker onset for a shorter duration. You’ll feel psychoactive effects within minutes, peak in 20 to 30 minutes, and return to baseline within 2 to 3 hours. This is because THC enters your lungs and bloodstream quickly.

Now that we’ve covered how long you can expect to feel the effects of Delta 9 THC edibles, let’s dive into what those effects actually are. After all, knowing how long you’ll be riding the wave is one thing, but understanding what that wave feels like? That’s where the real fun begins.

The Effects of Delta 9 Gummies

Delta 9 THC works its magic by binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors that naturally exist in your body, as a part of your endocannabinoid system. The CB1 receptors, hanging out mostly in your brain and central nervous system, are responsible for that classic cannabis high when you eat or smoke THC. Meanwhile, the CB2 receptors, which live primarily in your immune and nervous systems, are responsible for the therapeutic, anti-inflammatory effects good weed is known for.

Here’s how you might feel after eating a Delta 9 gummy:

• Feel the euphoria: Delta 9 can lift your mood, making you feel happier and more content. It’s like a little burst of sunshine in gummy form.
• Relax, man: Feeling stressed? Delta 9 might just help you unwind, melting away tension and promoting a sense of calm.
• Mother Nature’s Helping Hand: Looking for some physical relief? Delta 9 has been shown to have analgesic properties, potentially helping to ease aches and make everything feel just a little bit better.
• Have snacks on hand: Ever heard of the munchies? Delta 9 can kick your appetite into high gear, making everything in your fridge look like a gourmet meal.

Remember, everyone’s body reacts differently to Delta 9, so your experience might feel different than these descriptions. Start low and go slow to find your sweet spot, especially if it’s your first time.

How Long Does Delta 9 Stay in Your System?

Ever wonder why your buddy is sweating bullets about that upcoming drug test at work? Or maybe you’re the one feeling a little paranoid after enjoying some of our Delta 9 gummies last weekend. While the good vibes from Delta 9 might fade after a day, traces of THC can stick around in your body way longer.

How long? Well, that depends on a lot of different variables, like how often you use THC, how fast your body metabolizes it, and what kind of test you’re up against.

The three major types of THC tests- saliva tests, urine tests, and hair tests. Depending on which one you’re asked to take, the detection window for each a bit different:

• Saliva test: up to 24 hours
• Urine test: up to 30 days
• Hair test: up to 90 days

So yeah, Delta 9’s got some serious staying power, even if you’re not feeling high anymore. If you’ve got a test coming up, it’s best to play it safe and lay off the gummies for a while.

How Long Are Delta 9 Gummies Good For?

If you’ve ever tried our gummies before, you know we offer sweet deals on a 3-pack and 6-pack. And if you took us up on those offers, you might be wondering how long they’ll stay fresh.

Good news, man. If stored correctly, these tasty treats are good for about 12 months without losing any of their potency.

Most gummy packages come with a date stamped on the container stating when they were made, when they were packaged, and when they’re best eaten by. The longer you have them, the more the THC in them will break down, which means those year-old gummies you’ve been saving might not pack the same punch as fresh ones.

So while your gummies won’t exactly “go bad,” they might lose some of their oomph if you wait too long.

Our advice? Treat yourself sooner rather than later for the most enjoyable experience.

How to Store Your Delta 9 Gummies

Since we’re on the topic of keeping your gummies fresh, let’s talk about proper storage.

The secret to maintaining that 12-month shelf life? Location, location, location.

The ideal spot for your stash is in an airtight container, tucked away somewhere cool ,dry, and out of the sun. Your refrigerator works great too, if you’ve got the space (and can resist the temptation of seeing them every time you grab a snack).

Researchers studying THC degradation found that THC stored in direct light breaks down at a much faster rate, with heat showing a similar effect – the warmer it gets, the quicker your THC loses its potency. But stick those bad boys in the freezer? That same study shows it will slow down the degradation of THC.

Keep your gummies away from light and heat if you want them to last longer. Trust us, when it comes time to enjoy them, you’ll be glad you took such good care of your stash.
