The Vape Shop Guide to Gummies: What You’re Really Buying

Walk into a vape shop in Tennessee and ask for gummies, and you’ll get hit with a wall of jargon: Delta-8, Delta-9, Delta-10, THCA, HHC, CBD, CBG — sometimes all in neon packaging with cartoon bears.

The truth? Most folks behind the counter can’t explain much beyond “these’ll get you high” or “these’ll help you chill.” So let’s clear the smoke. Here’s your no-BS guide to what those gummies actually are.


🍬 Delta-8 THC Gummies

  • What it is: A hemp-derived form of THC, less intense than Delta-9.
  • Effects: Relaxing, body-heavy, “indica-like.” Good for winding down.
  • Watch out for: Cheap products sometimes contain leftover solvents. Stick with lab-tested brands.
  • Best for: Sleep, stress relief, or if Delta-9 feels too strong.

🍬 Delta-9 THC Gummies

  • What it is: The classic THC found in cannabis, but in hemp gummies it’s limited to 0.3% by weight (thanks to the Farm Bill loophole).
  • Effects: The familiar marijuana “high.” Stronger than Delta-8 or Delta-10.
  • Watch out for: Gummies can hit harder and longer than smoking. Start small.
  • Best for: People wanting the traditional cannabis experience — just slower and edible-style.

🍬 Delta-10 THC Gummies

  • What it is: Another hemp-derived THC variant, rarer and usually made from CBD conversions.
  • Effects: Uplifting, sativa-style buzz. Clear-headed, more about focus and energy than couch-lock.
  • Watch out for: Products labeled “Delta-10” often contain Delta-8 blends, since pure Delta-10 is hard to make.
  • Best for: Daytime creativity, a light high, or avoiding drowsiness.

🍬 THCA Gummies

  • What it is: The “acid” form of THC, which becomes psychoactive THC when heated. In edible gummies, THCA may not fully convert, making effects inconsistent.
  • Effects: Can be mild or surprisingly strong depending on how your body processes it.
  • Watch out for: Tennessee is banning THCA in 2026 — proof the Alcohol Monster is scared of competition.
  • Best for: Folks looking for a “legal weed” option (while it lasts).

🍬 CBD Gummies

  • What it is: Non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Won’t get you high.
  • Effects: Relaxation, anxiety reduction, inflammation support.
  • Watch out for: Gas station CBD is often junk with no actual CBD. Look for “full-spectrum” with lab reports.
  • Best for: People wanting wellness benefits without a high.

🍬 CBN Gummies

  • What it is: Cannabinol, formed as THC ages.
  • Effects: Sleepy, sedative-like. Mild psychoactivity.
  • Watch out for: Works best when paired with other cannabinoids. Alone, it may feel too subtle.
  • Best for: Insomnia, nighttime relaxation.

🍬 CBG Gummies

  • What it is: Cannabigerol, sometimes called the “mother cannabinoid.”
  • Effects: Non-psychoactive. Focus, calm, anti-inflammatory potential.
  • Watch out for: Still new on the market — products can be pricey.
  • Best for: Daytime balance, stress relief without sedation.

The Bottom Line

Not all gummies are created equal. Some give you a nap, some get you giggling, some just leave you wondering why you paid $25 for candy.

If Tennessee lawmakers were serious about safety, they’d demand proper labeling, testing, and education instead of letting the Alcohol Monster run the show. Until then, your best defense is knowledge.

So the next time you’re in a vape shop, don’t just ask “what’ll get me high?” Ask:

  • Is it Delta-8, Delta-9, Delta-10, or something else?
  • Is there a lab report (COA) available?
  • What’s the milligram dose per gummy?

Because if you’re going to chew your way to chill, you deserve to know what’s in the bag.
