THC can be SCARY to use on your own when you don't know what the expect. It might be a brand-new thing for you, something you've only read about or seen in movies. Luckily, it's MUCH simpler, safer, and fun than you might think (with the right brand, that is). That's where THC gummies and treats come in.
THC-infused gummies have become a popular way to consume cannabis, offering a discreet, tasty, and convenient method for both recreational and medicinal users. We’ve prided ourselves on developing industry-leading flavors in the space, offering alternative products in sour belts, pre-rolls, extra-strength and low-dose gummies, and much more to help you on your path to that perfect high.
Today, we’ll reach beyond the stars a bit to go in-depth on what makes a THC experience fun, how to try it safely, and what to expect out of the effects of each product.
Understanding THC Gummies - What Galaxy Treats Does to Ensure a Safe, Enjoyable Experience
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound in cannabis responsible for the "high" sensation. That’s where we get our euphoric vibes in every gummy, tying them into delta-8 (D8) and delta-9 (D9) blends. This offers a different metabolizing effect than when smoked with our pre-rolls, or what you might find in a THC pen. Every high is different and will depend on the dosage, as well as your frequency in which you use THC.
Choosing the Right THC Dosage in Our Treats
Dosage is the most critical factor in ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip with THC gummies, especially when they range all the way up to 125mg per gummy/300mg per sour belt here at Galaxy Treats. Here are some general guidelines:
Rookie Cadets: Start with a low dose, typically between 2.5 to 5 mg of THC. Blends of these gummies are on the lower end of what we offer at Galaxy Treats, and for most of our blends, you might have to cut up the gummy into pieces to get the desired effects. Additionally, we have more microdosing options from our sister brand, MCRO Edibles, that you can find here.
Frequent Fliers: If you have some experience, 5-10 mg may be a suitable dose. Tread carefully as you start to expand your interstellar palate.
Veteran Cadets: Those with high tolerance can consume 25-50 mg or more, but caution is still advised. Only the
Legendary Travelers: 125mg+, and you're on your way to one euphoric, over-the-top evening ahead. Take with extreme caution, and make sure to feed your cat before you get started.
Overall, exceeding the recommended potency for your experience can lead to unwanted effects such as paranoia, dizziness, and nausea. Always start low and raise your dosage slowly. Can’t be kicking things off with 2 extra-strength gummies.
Reading Product Labels and Ingredients
Not all THC gummies are created equal. When you go with Galaxy Treats, our industry-leading quality is a cut above the competition with strong third-party lab testing results and incredible reviews. So before consuming anything from ANY brand of THC, please check the packaging for:
THC Content: Ensure you are aware of how much THC is in each gummy, sour belt, disposable, or pre-roll.
Ingredients: Avoid gummies with excessive artificial additives or allergens if you have dietary restrictions. Sticking with natural ingredients like we do at Galaxy Treats is the best way to secure safe and reliable results.
Lab-Tested: As we said with our own products, third-party testing a crucial element to avoiding bad trips and experiences. If what you’re using isn’t reviewed by ANYONE, the creators can virtually put whatever they want in there until they get shut down. Be mindful of this and take caution to find brands like ours that put your experience first.
How to Consume THC Gummies From Galaxy Treats Safely
1. Start in a Comfortable Setting
If it’s your first time trying THC gummies, consume them in a relaxed, familiar environment where you feel safe. NOT a club, at work, or in outer space. Being in a comfortable place with trusted people can help prevent anxiety or discomfort, especially if you’re going over the started dosage.
2. Take Galaxy Treats' THC on a Full Stomach
THC gummies can have stronger effects if taken on an empty stomach, ESPECIALLY when mixed with alcohol. To moderate the intensity, pop a gummy after you’ve had a quality meal (not popcorn and soda at a movie).
3. Be Patient – Wait for the Effects
How many times have you heard someone taking two gummies because the first one “never hit” them, and then they end up on an insane high 20 minutes later? Unlike smoking, which produces immediate effects, THC edibles take longer to kick in. Expect to wait 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to appear. Some people may even take up to 3 hours to feel the full impact. Avoid consuming more before the initial dose has fully set in.
4. Avoid Mixing with Alcohol or Other Substances
As we said before, this is one of the WORST things you can do. Combining THC with alcohol or other drugs can intensify its effects unpredictably, increasing the risk of adverse reactions. Stick to one substance at a time for a safer experience, and definitely avoid hard liquor.
5. Stay Hydrated and Have Snacks Ready
Dry mouth is a common side effect of THC consumption. Keep water nearby to stay hydrated. Additionally, having light snacks available can help stabilize your blood sugar and reduce any discomfort. Aim for more quality, healthy options rather than junk food. You’ll never know how fast a box of ice cream bars can disappear until you get the munchies.
6. Have a Plan in Case of Overconsumption
- If you accidentally consume too much THC on a higher potency gummy, like our Berry Melon Lifter for example, try the following to avoid feeling overwhelmed:
- Stay calm. Remind yourself that the effects will pass within a few hours.
- Drink water and have a light snack.
- Distract yourself with calming activities like listening to music or watching a familiar TV show.
- Sleep it off. Resting can help your body process the THC more smoothly.
Understanding Tolerance and Responsible Use
Regular use of THC gummies can lead to increased tolerance, meaning you may need higher doses over time to achieve the same effects. To prevent dependency and maintain effectiveness, consider taking T-breaks (tolerance breaks) where you abstain from THC for a period to reset your tolerance. This is a great practice to observe periodically through the year, primarily to keep you safe and avoid breaking the bank every month on overspending.
Additionally, always use THC gummies responsibly and avoid consuming them before important tasks such as driving or operating heavy machinery. CAUTION: We do not advise to ever use our products in conjunction with operating a vehicle, machinery, or your daily work function. THC at Galaxy Treats is intended for solely recreational and legal use.
Storing THC Gummies Safely
If you have children or pets in your home, safe storage is crucial:
Keep gummies in childproof containers. Luckily, our gummies come in jars that are extremely safe and childproofed, but still: make sure they’re out of reach is the only essential step for you. Store them in a locked cabinet or high shelf to avoid issues.
