Gone are the days of the saran wrapped pot brownie, and along with it the unintended consequence of too much THC and the effects of an unexpected \"bad trip\".\n\nToday, walk into any legal dispensary across the United States, and you will not only experience shopping experiences akin to an Apple store but polished cannabis brands offering a variety of choices, flavors, and dosage options.\n\n### The Growing Popularity of the Weed Edible\n\nIt seems [edibles](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-to-know-about-edibles-infused-with-cannabis) are finally having their time in the spotlight. And, there's a reason for their popularity. A marijuana edible is any food item or [infused beverage](https://hellomd.com/articles/4-cannabis-drink-products-perfect-for-summer); they're easy to consume, discreet, and often have longer-lasting effects than other consumption methods, like smoking or vaping. \n\nYou'll find legal weed edibles with varying amounts of THC, the psychoactive component in the plant, or CBD, the non-intoxicating cannabinoid known for [curbing anxiety and calming nerves](https://hellomd.com/articles/why-taking-cbd-daily-can-help-reduce-your-anxiety). You will also find edibles that have a ratio of THC and CBD or other cannabinoids such as CBN. \n\nTypically, the onset of an edible may take longer to hit (one to two hours as opposed to 10–20 minutes), but the effects also last longer than smoking or vaping (four to eight hours versus two to three hours). In addition, for medical marijuana consumers, the longer-lasting pain relief from edibles makes it an excellent choice for getting through the day or even through the night.\n\n### Finding the Right Weed Edible\n\nWhen looking for the right edible for you, consider that marijuana acts differently within each of us and that starting with a low dosage and working up to a higher dose, is always a good way to start. A low-dose edible will usually contain 2.5mg of THC or less. [A microdose](https://hellomd.com/articles/microdosing-a-better-way-to-take-cannabis), or smaller dosage, is considered anything under 5mg. \n\nIf you are new to cannabis, consider starting with 2.5 mg or less, so you don't accidentally over-medicate. An appropriate dosage is 2.5mg of THC for some people, whereas others may do well with 10mg. Remember though, what is suitable for your friend may not be right for you!\n\n### Weed Gummies: the Most Popular Edible\n\nThere's a wide array of edibles available nowadays, including sweet to savory treats and foods, cannabis-infused beverages, cannabinoid powders to be added to food or beverages, or infused butter and oils. \nBut, one type of edible seems to be more popular than all others – the cannabis gummy! \n\nThe weed gummies commonly outsell most other edibles. They come in all different shapes and textures, are often fruity, sour, chewy, small in size, and can pack a party-size flavorful punch. Simply put, they're fun, and popping one or two in your mouth, depending on your dose tolerance, can put a smile on your face.\n\n### Wana Gummies Offer Consistency & Potency\n\nWhile there are many different kinds of gummies and brands to choose from, few edibles have the street cred earned by [Wana Brands](https://www.wanabrands.com/). Started in 2010, Wanna gummies are available for purchase in 12 states across the country. They are increasingly popular due to their vast array of tasty flavor, consistency, and potent THC formulations.  \n\nWana Brands isn't a one-man THC band, however. Their gummies introduce unique blends of [terpenes](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-are-cannabis-terpenes-and-how-do-they-work), the aromatic and essential oils that give cannabis not only its distinctive smell but also its tremendous flavor and bodily effects. Wana products are enhanced with 30+ terpenes, allowing their gummies to recreate specific effects of popular cannabis strains. The blending of terpenes helps to enhance the experience you choose to have, whether that be uplifting or relaxing.\n\nWana Brand edible gummies are high quality, elevated sweet treats, made with all-natural, organic ingredients. The sweet flavor is created with organic sugar or tapioca syrups rather than high fructose corn syrup. When popping a Wanna gummy in your mouth, you'll also notice the perfectly satisfying texture; they never feel rubbery in your mouth like other gummies. \n\nLastly, if you park your car in the blaring sun and your Wana gummies are inside your glove box, they won't melt! Their pectin formula withstands temperatures up to 175 degrees. So, unless you park in hell with your co-pilot Lucifer, your gummies won't stick together.\n\n### A Wide Selection of Wana Brand Gummies\n\nThere is a wide selection of Wana gummy products, and depending on where you live in the states, your choice may vary.

Nug Run pairs cannabis terpene profiles with complementary snacks, and treats. We aim to support all-natural healthy cannabis by creating fun, creative ways to consume within the comfort of home. In my first blog post for HelloMD, I talk about limonene, the terpene that literally transformed my life.\n\n### A Terpene Walked into a Bar...\n\nI’m sitting in a rustic whiskey bar, and across the crowded picnic table seating, a beautiful girl says to her friends “ I don’t know why, but I love citrus in any drink.”\n\n“Limonene” I say out loud with a smile. The group of girls look at me oddly, like the freak at a bar who talks to himself. I lean in and say politely to my seat mates, “What if I could scientifically prove why you love citrus?” I am most definitely met with blank stares but continue. “You see this lemon peel?” as I point to one of the girl’s glasses. “That lemon peel is magical, it is rich with a compound called limonene.”\n\nI move in headlong, continuing the conversation which includes my personal experience and the power of terpenes. The conversation that transpired between us on that evening is one that I have had time and time again. Terpenes, the chemical compound found in everything from citrus to hops, is the new unknown frontier of both medicine and foodie alike; and we have barely scratched the surface of it’s full potential. In short, terpenes, which are found in lemons, are also the aromatic compounds found within our cannabis. The terpenes such as limonene work in tandem with cannabinoids and our endocannabinoid system to help relieve different symptoms we may feel or even evoke new and often positive bodily sensations.\n\nAs the charming girl leaned in and chose to sit next to me, I began to unpack my reasoning and observations regarding people that enjoy both limonene and citral notes within their food and how this translates to cannabis. The terpene limonene is a natural anxiety relief that creates a positive mood and its elevating effects are what draw us in. It is like when you squirt a lemon, words like 'bright' and 'clean' come to mind. The aroma and ingestion of limonene when smoking works to calm your nerves, and let’s be honest citrus tastes amazing whether it be in a drink or within your cannabis. The effect of limonene can be profound, especially for those of us who need to be uplifted.\n\n### Limonene: A Positive Revelation\n\nI actually believe terpenes saved my life.  Years ago, before my terpene and cannabis journey began, I was sitting in my apartment alone. It seemed I was watching dust collect on my midtown, middle-class bachelor lifestyle. Unhappy, I had insufferable chronic insomnia, and even worse I didn’t know why. One weekend I was invited to a private BBQ at a friends house.\n\nIt was at his house I was introduced to a new iteration of limonene I had never met. Her name was Super Lemon Haze, and she was sun grown in my friends back yard. My friend's father grew this strain every year and it was an introduction I will never forget. During our time together, which lasted a few days, we packed our vaporizer and let the flavor and medicine wash over us. This particular limonene-heavy strain sent me on a rocket ship of positive thought and clear energy that transcended the blood/brain barrier in resounding fashion. This revelatory experience eventually changed my life. \n\n### Life Restarts with Citrus Undertones \n\nMy experience with Super Lemon Haze, and in particular the terpene limonene,  led me to research the chemical makeup of terpenes in cannabis. It started me thinking about the relationship terpenes have with the ‘entourage effect’ and their significance on both the mind and mood of those who consume it. Through my research, I began to understand a great deal about how the chemical compounds within the cannabis plant help and support our dynamic systems.\n\nLooking back now, that was a breakthrough year for me. In a short time I decided to become an entrepreneur, which led to the most successful year of my career. I also broke free from depression and insomnia. Later that year, I lost 25 pounds got in great physical shape and started rock climbing. I also met my wife over an Old Fashioned at our favorite whiskey bar. To be honest, I believe I am a product of the revolutionary effects of medical cannabis; it literally turned my life around. So, you can call me a sucker for citrus, but I say cheers to terpenes and all the positive benefit that flows from them.\n\nDo you have questions about Nug Run?
