The History of Weed Gummies

Cannabis edibles, in general, have been consumed for centuries, with the use of cannabis-infused foods dating back thousands of years. However, the specific concept of weed gummies as a popular form of cannabis edible emerged more recently. One of the earliest instances of cannabis-infused gummies gaining popularity was in Colorado, USA, after the state legalized recreational marijuana in 2014.

In the early days of cannabis edibles, homemade brownies and cookies were the go-to choices for those seeking an alternative to smoking or vaping. However, as the cannabis industry expanded and became more regulated, manufacturers began exploring new ways to deliver cannabis-infused products to consumers.

The appeal of gummies was their discrete and convenient nature, making them an attractive option for those who wanted to consume cannabis without drawing attention. As a result, cannabis companies started producing gummies infused with THC to cater to this growing demand. Today, weed gummies are widely available in various flavors, potencies, and formulations, representing a significant segment of the cannabis edibles market.
