Do Mood-Boosting Gummies Get You High?

By Joe Kryszak Published on 07/04/2024

Are you looking to improve your mood and fight daily stress? Hemp-based gummies could deliver an elevated mood that can empower you to meet the day’s demands. However, it is often a concern for many if these gummies can get you “high.” In this post, we’ll help you understand this issue so that you will be informed in your decision to consume mood-improving gummies.

Can Mood Gummies Get You High?

Well, that is a good question! Many Stirling customers find that mood gummies offer a great way to improve your mood – providing a positive outlook to help you tackle the day. But do mood-enhancing gummies get you high? As we answer that, we should first differentiate between “high” and the mood-boosting properties of mood gummies.

A “high” typically identifies the psychoactive effects associated with the THC cannabinoid. This “high” is what people experience as altered mind function (as THC may impair cognitive function) when they consume products that contain THC.

Now, mood enhancement, which is what mood gummies are made for, refers to a general feeling of well-being. This is marked by reduced stress or improved outlook without the intense psychoactive effects of THC.

In sum, mood-enhancing gummies result in subtle changes in mood and stress levels without altering one’s state of mind drastically.

Mood Gummies with Hemp-Derived Compounds

Hemp vs Marijuana

Hemp plants and marijuana point to two different strains of the cannabis sativa plant. Their major difference is their THC levels. A hemp plant contains less than 0.3% THC, which means products derived from it should not make someone experience a marijuana-type of high. On the other hand, the marijuana plant has higher THC concentrations.

Below are the most prominent hemp-derived compounds that make the perfect mood-boosting gummies that contain trace to zero THC percent.

  • CBD: Hemp-derived compounds like CBD, is are believed to produce calming and stress-reducing effects. Unlike THC, CBD can promote a positive mood and a sense of calm mood without intoxicating the user.
  • CBG: CBD and hemp-derived CBG (cannabigerol) have potential mood-boosting qualities. However, CBG also offers anti-swelling effects, which can help achieve a natural and holistic approach to well-being.
  • Other cannabinoids: These plant compounds may refer to CBC (cannabichromene) and CBN (cannabinol), each contributing unique benefits to augment CBD’s mood-boosting ability.

How to Take Mood Gummies

To properly leverage the potential therapeutic effect of mood-enhancing gummies, contributing to one’s overall well-being, here are some important factors to consider:

Choose the right product.

The market is flooded with mood gummies from different brands. If you are seeking mental performance optimization by taking mood gummies, you should choose the best brand.

One important consideration you should always look for is easy access to a brand’s certificates of analysis (COAs). These documents prove the product has undergone third-party testing for potency, purity, and safety. Stirling’s Mood Gummies have COAs, which are readily available on our website and

Also, go for mood gummies with organic ingredients that promote specific health benefits for the human body. Ensure that the CBD oil in the mood gummies is extracted from USA-grown legal hemp.

Stirling CBD crafts its mood gummies with all-natural ingredients, but we do not stop there alone. We choose mother nature’s best ingredients so that they become a delightful treat and you will have more health benefits. For example, we prefer tapioca syrup instead of using organic cane sugar because it has reduced carbohydrate and calorie content.

Lastly, user reviews and reputation should be considered when choosing the right CBD product. These testimonials will give you a grasp of the brand’s effectiveness. Stirling’s CBD mood gummies receive positive reviews from most users, showcasing that these vegan products are worthy of your investment.

Determine your appropriate mood gummy dosage.

In determining the proper mood gummy dosage, it is recommended to start low and go slow. You may begin with a low dose, typically 5 – 10mg CBD. This low-dosage approach allows the user to gauge their initial response without overwhelming the human endocannabinoid system or even the nervous system.

Body weight and metabolism also influence how THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids affect you. Heavier individuals or those with faster metabolisms could require higher doses to experience desired effects.

Suppose you do not experience the desired effects of the mood gummies after a few days, then you can gradually adjust the dosage. By so doing, you are allowing your body to find the optimal amount for its needs without risking overconsumption.

Adapt best practices for consuming mood gummies.

Here are some best practices that we collated from our users regarding consuming mood gummies:

  • Timing: Incorporating mood boosting gummies at a time that aligns with your health goals is what we recommend. For instance, if you buy mood gummies to support your emotional wellness, then consume them before facing a demanding day.
  • Consistency: Take the gummies consistently so that your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) can adjust to its effects. You may also use this step to better gauge the effects of the mood gummies over time.
  • With or without food: For some users, taking mood gummies on an empty stomach work just fine. On the other hand, some find taking gummies with food, especially a meal high in fats, can enhance absorption and effectiveness.

Monitor mood gummies effects.

Monitoring the effects of mood gummies and making adjustments as needed is essential for optimizing their benefits. Begin by keeping a journal to track your dosage, time of consumption, and any effects you notice. This detailed record can help you determine the optimal dose and the best time of day to take the gummies.

Store mood gummies properly.

Proper storage of mood gummies is vital in maintaining their effectiveness. As recommended store mood gummies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Heat and light can degrade the potency of the cannabinoids, reducing its influence to the human body.

We also suggest to keep your mood gummies in their original packaging or an airtight container can help protect them from environmental factors that might affect their quality.

Types of Mood Gummies

Bestselling mood gummies may also offer other benefits aside from improving one’s attitude.

Gummies for Relief

Mood gummies can also be an effective option for relieving pain, primarily due to their anti-swelling properties. Compounds like CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating discomfort and soreness. Additionally, products like 15mg Delta 9 Gummies offer a convenient way for users to experience mood improvement alongside relief.

Gummies for Sleep Support

Gummies that can help you sleep typically contain melatonin, THC, CBD, or a combination of these three cannabinoids.

  • CBD and Sleep: This cannabinoid may reduce overthinking and could also promote relaxation; two important factors that can help people sleep.
  • THC and Sleep: THC, in low doses, can also help with sleep by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and improving sleep continuity.
  • Melatonin and Sleep: Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, can be added to these gummies to help reset the body’s internal clock, making them especially useful for people dealing with sleeplessness or jet lag.

Gummies for Calmness

Producing calmness is another added benefit by mood gummies. Based on research, CBD may help alleviate too much thinking and stress by its interaction with serotonin receptors in the brain. Try Delta 8 and Delta 9 Fusion Bliss Bites for a unique blend of cannabinoids that enhance calmness and relaxation.

Gummies for Focus and Clarity

These sweet treats often include the naturally-occurring cannabinoid CBD to help the users to attain clear thinking and concentration. When your mood is improved, you can think clearly and demonstrate focus to accomplish several tasks. For enhanced focus and mental clarity, BurnBites THCV Gummies offer a unique cannabinoid profile designed to support productivity throughout the day.

  • Precised dosage: Stirling’s mood gummies come with pre-measured dose of active ingredients. This quality makes consumption of mood gummies easy to control.

  • Delectable taste mood gummies: The pleasant taste can make the process of taking the mood gummies more enjoyable, especially for those who dislike the taste of oils or tinctures.

Cons

  • Delayed onset of effects: Since you have to ingest mood gummies, the cannabinoids will undergo processing by the digestive system. Thus, there is a delay in the onset of effects. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel the effects.
  • Potential side effects: While generally well-tolerated, mood gummies with THC can cause side effects in some individuals, such as dry mouth, drowsiness, or changes in appetite. For such reason, it is not advisable to drive after consuming mood gummies infused with THC.

Ingredients

Mood gummies are crafted with a blend of carefully selected ingredients that work synergistically to promote relaxation, improve focus, and support overall well-being. Here are the core components typically found in mood gummies:

  • L-Theanine: Found naturally in green tea, this amino acid helps improve focus, relax the mind, and reduce stress.
  • Vitamin B12: An essential vitamin that supports energy production and nervous system health.
  • Melatonin: A hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, aiding in relaxation and better rest.
