Or can they help me lose weight? I am confused.”**\n\nPeter S.\n\n------------------\n\n![Wana Brands gummies are a popular edible and can be used as a sleep aid.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_17_at_1_08_56_PM_6440bb1268.png)\n\n\nIt’s always wise to be a vigilant consumer and question all the choices you make, especially when it comes to medical marijuana. As far as sugar and calories, you don’t have to worry a lot about [typical THC-infused gummies](https://www.eatthismuch.com/food/nutrition/thc-gummies,2727227/). A single piece might only be 20 calories, with 3g of sugar and 4g of carbs. While you might be tempted to eat a lot of non-cannabis candy, gummies with a kick can’t be consumed that way because they’ll make you way too high.\n\nAlso keep in mind that it usually takes a while for the marijuana to kick in when indulging in gummies and other edibles, so don’t start gobbling more up until the first one kicks in. So it’s unlikely that marijuana gummies would play a major role in weight gain.\n\nBut if you are worried about sugar, then you can take advantage of a trend in [healthier weed edibles](https://hellomd.com/articles/healthier-cannabis-edibles-for-health-conscious-women). Some of the chocolate edibles on the market include fair trade and organic ingredients. At your local dispensary you can often choose from a variety of  gluten-free and low-sugar baked goods. Some brands of gummies are naturally sweetened with fruit juices. You also have cannabis-infused savory foods such as crackers and jerky to choose from.\n\nAngelica T.\n\n___________________\n\n![Do you sugar free cannabis gummies help you lose weight? ](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_01_13_at_3_56_38_PM_6e97baa4a7.png)\n\n\n\nThere’s an article in Forbes that says it all: [“These Cannabis Gummies Are Sugar Free.”](https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilyprice/2019/05/27/these-cannabis-gummies-are-sugar-free/?sh=6fd0cef5c5d6). It covers the 2019 launch of the first sugar-free gummy on the market, created by Kushy Punch in California. \n\nFor its [sugar-free cannabis-infused gummy](https://kushypunch.com/thc-gummies/) the company turned to lychee. Kushy Punch says on its site:\n\n“The luscious lychee flavor doesn’t lose any sweetness and masks the potent full-spectrum oil, which is rich with cannabinoids, flavonoids, and lipids.\n\n“Our new sugar free gummy is perfect for anyone on a low sugar diet, or those with diabetes or heart disease.”\n\nIt is only 2.5 calories per dose and features a low insulin response.\n\n“Finding the right consistency is the hardest part,” said Kushy Punch’s chief scientist Carolina Vasquez Mitchell in the Forbes interview. “It’s not as simple as swapping out our regular syrup for a substitute like stevia. We tried about 20 different recipes and many different ingredients, and we all felt like this was really it.”\n\nWesley A.\n\n-------------------\n\n![Cannabis gummies with THCV will help you lose weight.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_01_13_at_3_58_24_PM_6ee672d36a.png)\n\nIf you are concerned about the ingredients in your weed edibles, you can always [start making your own](https://hellomd.com/articles/cooking-with-cannabis), replacing ingredients of concern with healthier alternatives.\n\nWith cannabis, the worry is that the THC will give you the munchies and lead to weight gain. But there is another marijuana cannabinoid, THCV, which is getting increasing attention as an appetite suppressant, leading to new products coming to the market for weight-loss solutions and other health benefits.\n\n![Wana brand Fit gummie with THCV](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_01_12_at_1_44_46_PM_6d5e0da5c8.png)\n\n\nPremier gummies maker Wanna Brands, for example, launched in October 2021, its [Optimal line of Fit gummies](https://www.wanabrands.com/product/fit-rec/). The company explains:\n\n“These first-of-their kind gummies harness the power of THCV, a rare cannabinoid that can help disrupt unhelpful eating habits and put you back in control of your diet. They won’t make you feel high, so you can take one tropical-punch-flavored gummy every day to experience the full long-term benefits of this remarkable plant-based tool.” \n\nThese gummies are also vegan and gluten free, and contain all-natural flavors and colors with no high-fructose corn syrup.\n\nPam Finn\n\n\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5037593984962405,"src":"/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/14b42/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg","srcSet":"/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/f836f/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg 200w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/2244e/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg 400w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/14b42/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg 800w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/47498/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg 1200w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/0e329/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg 1600w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/947df/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.jpg 5472w","srcWebp":"/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/58556/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/61e93/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp 200w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/1f5c5/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp 400w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/58556/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp 800w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/99238/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp 1200w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/7c22d/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp 1600w,\n/static/fa6f866e02ead3cb478dc5861b63ac71/f8fd9/082eb17265c333271e7fa1ff36718809.webp 5472w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12266-markdown","title":"I need an edible such as gummy bears for relief of shingles symptoms.

Although, in a study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, researchers  found that chronic administration of CBD prevents paclitaxel-induced  neuropathy (PAC) (paclitaxel is a common chemotherapy agent which often  causes neuropathic pain). Interestingly, they found that the cannabinoid  receptors CB1 and CB2 were not involved in preventing the pain from  developing. Rather, they concluded that CBD is protective against  PAC-induced neurotoxicity mediated in part by the serotonin receptor system. Modulation of the serotonin receptor system is also the method  that antidepressant drugs are thought to affect neuropathic pain.\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24117398\n\nHowever,  there is a significant amount of research showing that Sativex -- an  oromucosal spray with 1CBD:1THC -- effectively reduces neuropathic pain.  In 2005, Sativex was approved in Canada for the treatment of central  neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis, and in 2007 for intractable cancer pain. Numerous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated  safety and efficacy for Sativex in central and peripheral neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer pain.\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/\n\nI hope this helps!\n\n\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9025-markdown","title":"Suffering from insomnia.

Have you tried more than 10mg of the Indica edible? I would suggest trying a High THC indica tincture, you can start with a low dose and increase until you get the desired result, you might need more than 10 mg. Some people are very sensitive to THC and only need 2-3mg while others might need 15mg...everyone is different so there is no one size fits all.
