A New Era of Edibles
Gone are the days when edibles were just about getting baked and hoping for the best. Today’s cannabis consumers want more than potency, they want purpose. Whether you're taking a gummy to relax, focus, vibe out, or simply sleep better, the experience should feel intentional.
That’s where functional ingredients come in. Adaptogens, nootropics, and natural botanicals are showing up in cannabis edibles not just as add-ons, but as game-changers. These plant-powered enhancements work alongside cannabinoids to fine-tune the effects, support your mood, and elevate the entire experience. At Consider It Flowers, we’re especially excited about the latest wave of VIIA Hemp edibles that pair psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabinoids with powerful ingredients like Lion’s Mane, L-theanine, Passionflower, and more.
We’re also proud to be building on our THC-Free offerings for those who want the benefits of cannabinoids and functional ingredients without the high. We believe that intentional wellness should be accessible to everyone, no matter their vibe.
Cannabinoids in Edibles Explained: THC, CBD, and Other Key Compounds
Before we get into mushroom extracts and libido boosters, let’s break down what is already in your gummy, cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis (aka Hemp) plant that interact with your body to influence mood, energy, sleep, and more. It is important to note that cannabinoids fall on a spectrum; some are psychoactive and produce a “high”, others have mild effects, and some are completely non-psychoactive, offering benefits without the buzz. Lets dive in a little deeper!
Psychoactive Cannabinoids
-
THC (Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol): THC is the most well-known and widely studied cannabinoid, and it’s also the primary psychoactive compound found in most of our edibles. THC creates that classic euphoric, feel-good high, often with sensory enhancement, increased appetite, and a relaxing or sedating effect depending on dose and strain.
-
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin): A rarer, more energizing cannabinoid with mild psychoactive effects. Often referred to as “diet weed,” THCV may help with energy, focus, and even appetite suppression. It’s more functional than floaty, making it a great daytime compound.
Non-Psychoactive Cannabinoids
-
CBD (Cannabidiol): Best known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, CBD can help balance out THC’s intensity, promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support sleep without impairing your focus or alertness.
-
CBG (Cannabigerol): Often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid,” or “the God particle,” CBG is believed to support focus, motivation, and mental clarity. It’s gaining popularity as a non-intoxicating tool for productivity and daytime mood support.
-
CBN (Cannabinol): Mildly sedating and frequently used for sleep. CBN is typically found in combination with THC or CBD and can enhance feelings of rest and physical relaxation without strong mental effects.
These cannabinoids are powerful on their own, but when blended with functional ingredients, they become more targeted and effective.
Why Add Functional Ingredients to Cannabis Edibles?
Cannabinoids are just the beginning. Functional and adaptogenic ingredients won’t get you high, but they help guide and enhance the experience. Whether you’re trying to sleep, sharpen your focus, or unwind and find relief after a long day, these ingredients support both body and mind.
Today’s consumers are looking for products that feel purposeful. When you're buying an edible, you're not just buying effects, you're choosing how you want to feel. Functional ingredients help shape that experience with more intention and consistency.
A variety of products in our collection are thoughtfully enhanced with functional ingredients that support everything from better sleep to sharper focus. These additions help transform an edible from a simple high into a fully supportive wellness tool. Let’s break down some of the most powerful ingredients and what they bring to the table.
