THC Gummies

A THC gummy is a sweet, gelatinous edible that contains a variation of THC. Short for tetrahydrocannabinol, THC is a psychoactive family of compounds that naturally occurs in cannabis plants. There are several variations of THC, with Delta-9 being the most prominent, but this family also includes Delta-8, Delta-10, and several others. 

Essentially, THC gummies let you experience tetrahydrocannabinol with longer-lasting and more potent effects compared to inhalation. This is true for all edibles. The effects of THC gummies can vary from person to person, but compared to inhalation, they have a slower onset. These gummies can bring out feelings associated with THC, such as relaxation, euphoria, creativity, and sleepiness. 

The amount of time before your body is "clear" of THC can vary due to a wide variety of factors. If, for some reason, you have a drug test coming up, we recommend abstaining from any products that contain THC.

Although our products contain only hemp-derived cannabinoids, a drug test cannot differentiate between THC derived from federally legal hemp versus marijuana. 

Some sources claim that it will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects of THC gummies to "kick in." This timeframe is broad, and many factors can affect it, including if you had or hadn't eaten a meal before the THC gummy, along with the meal's fat content since fats can boost bioavailability. Bioavailability just means how fast your body can absorb the THC.

Patience is key with THC gummies because many beginners will wait awhile and think it's not "working," only to take more and end up feeling overwhelmed. 

Like most edibles, the effects of THC gummies can last up to 12 hours, with slight residual effects as long as 24 hours. Again, like all things cannabis and THC, this will vary from person to person. If you are trying THC gummies for the first time, we recommend trying them on the night before a day off.  

Prices for THC gummies can vary depending on the milligram count, quantity, special ingredients, and overall quality. 

For example, our 5mg Discovery Pack, which features four gummies, runs for $10, while our top-shelf, strain-specific 10-pack of 25mg Live Rosin Gummies runs for $70. If there's any saying that can best summarize the hemp market in terms of price, it's, "You get what you pay for." 

At first glance, one may wonder what's behind the higher cost of a THC gummy. THC gummies’ cost depends on the distillate's purity, ingredients' quality, and, most importantly, full-panel lab testing. A full-panel test means that a third-party lab has evaluated the batch of THC gummies for both potency and potential contaminants. With lower-priced gummies, you may get a bitter taste from the distillate, and you'll more often find "duds" that offer no effect. 

The exact shelf life for different gummies will vary. If a manufacturer has provided a "best by" or "best before" date on their packaging, it's best (pun intended) to follow those guidelines. Generally, though gummies, whether they contain THC or not, have a long shelf life. 

We can't speak for every brand of THC gummy out there, but at Hometown Hero, our gummies have a shelf life of about one year after you have opened the packaging. Speaking of packaging, we offer gummies in resealable pouches to guarantee long-lasting freshness. It's best to reseal this pouch after opening; otherwise, the gummies may get stiff. Besides that, it's best to keep the gummies stored at about room temperature at the highest to keep them from melting, and for better preservation, you can keep your gummies in the refrigerator or freezer. 

Yes, THC gummies are legal, but only when the THC is from hemp.

Any product containing hemp-derived THC is legal on a federal level. The legality of hemp-derived THC gummies will vary from state to state. However, if you live in a state where hemp-derived THC is legal, you can order gummies online because, due to federal legality, it's legal to ship them across state lines. As of this writing, marijuana-derived THC gummies are not federally legal, and one can only ship them over state lines. .

As far as federal legality goes, hemp-derived THC gummies can have a concentration of up to 0.3% of Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This regulation is merely a proportion, not a total milligram count. This is why a 100mg gummy will be much larger and heavier than a 5mg gummy.

However, some state governments have imposed milligram restrictions on hemp and marijuana THC gummies. Check your state laws first.

Adults 21 and older can purchase THC gummies for responsible enjoyment. 

You can purchase THC gummies on this website if you live in a state where hemp-derived THC is legal. Other than that, you can find THC gummies in CBD stores and smoke shops if hemp-derived THC gummies are legal in your state. 

At Hometown Hero, we take pride in delivering the best flavor and feeling to cannabis consumers. We offer THC gummies that offer a wide range of experiences, including Delta-8, Delta-9, and HHC, along with a balanced 1:1 THC to CBD ratio. Over the years, we have become known as innovators as we were among the first (if not the first) to offer hemp-derived Delta-9 gummies, and our products have won multiple High Times Hemp Cup Awards.

Our secret? There is no secret. It comes down to using high-end ingredients, infusing our gummies with THC, and testing our batches to ensure we deliver a quality product every time. 

Yes, all of Hometown Hero gummies are 100% vegan. 

No, at Hometown Hero, we do not spray our gummies. Instead, we use an infusion method that "works" the THC into the gummy mixture to ensure optimal taste, potency, and consistency with every batch we make.
