The Best Microdose Edibles on the Market
Are microdose edibles more popular than alcohol? They just might be.
Microdose THC edibles like gummies and beverages are sweeping the nation as a popular substitute for drinking alcohol. These non-alcoholic treats not only taste good, but they’re much cheaper than spending a night out drinking. And let’s not forget about ditching the nasty hangover. I mean, what’s not to love?
New cannabis brands and products are sweeping the market as popularity rises, especially in non-legal states, thanks to the newer hemp-derived Delta-9 products that can be shipped legally throughout the United States.
So, what are the best microdose edibles on the market? You’re about to find out!
What Are Microdose Edibles?
Microdosing is exactly what it sounds like — taking a small (micro) dose of a specific substance, in this case edibles, to feel some effects without getting “high”. While the term is widely recognised in the psychedelic community, microdosing cannabis has become increasingly popular over the last few years.
Gone are the days when dispensary shelves are filled with 100mg brownies and cookies (even though we love those too). Today, we’re seeing a popular rise in 2-10mg THC microdose gummies and edibles. It’s just enough to take the edge off, without much commitment.
Microdosing THC vs. CBD vs. Delta-8
Before we get into the best microdose edibles on the market, let’s go over the different types of microdose THC edibles you’ll usually find at your local dispensary or online cannabis store.
Microdose THC Edibles: Ah, the classic THC-infused edibles. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. When you hear about people getting “high,” they’re talking about consuming THC. But as time goes on, we’re learning there are many more benefits to THC than a fun time with friends. Microdosing THC edibles allows us to reap some of those benefits without feeling “high”.
Microdose CBD Edibles: And then there’s CBD, formally known as Cannabidiol, which is commonly associated with its potential for aiding epileptic patients. There are many other claims about the use of CBD for pain and sleep, although research is ongoing. CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high, but many report feeling more relaxed after consuming CBD products.
Microdose Delta-8 Edibles: Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp products, which produces milder effects when compared to its sister, Delta-9 THC. Since Delta-8 is commonly extracted from hemp in small amounts, it is federally legal to sell and consume (so long as it follows the FARM bill).
