What is CBD candy?
CBD candies, also known as CBD gummies, are small confections infused with cannabidiol, a molecule extracted from hemp. Unlike THC, another well-known component of the cannabis plant, CBD does not cause psychoactive effects, i.e. it does not alter the state of consciousness. These treats offer a simple, tasty and discreet way to consume CBD, while enjoying its wellness benefits.
Composition and production of CBD candies
The composition of CBD candies varies from brand to brand, but the base generally remains the same: sugar, natural or artificial flavors, gelatin or pectin (for vegan versions), and, of course, cannabidiol. Some manufacturers choose to add other beneficial ingredients such as vitamins or plant extracts to enhance the effects. The manufacturing process involves incorporating the CBD into the candy mass, ensuring even distribution of the cannabinoid in each piece.
At cb'dé, CBD candies are made with 100% natural CBD extract, incorporated into the traditional sour candy recipe. The result is a sweet, fragrant candy with a high cannabidiol content.
Composition of our candies:
Hemp extract (CBD), glucose syrup, sugar, water, gelatin, modified potato starch, hemp extract, acidifying agents: E330, E270, E296, flavoring, E129 color, glazing agent: carnauba wax.

Benefits of CBD candies
In vogue for some years now, cannabidiol is on everyone's lips and could be used to treat a number of pathologies. It is recognized for its relaxing, anxiolytic and even pain-relieving properties, helping to relieve stress, promote better sleep and alleviate chronic or inflammatory pain. Some people also use it to manage symptoms linked to disorders such as anxiety or depression.
But then, what are the benefits of a CBD candy? We explain.
In itself, a CBD candy can have the same benefits as a CBD oil or capsules, if the right amount of cannabidiol is absorbed on a daily basis. By consuming CBD candies, you are therefore able to accompany pathologies or disorders, but is this really ideal?
Well, no, not really. In fact, we don't recommend taking only CBD candies to accompany a pathology, as the body often requires between 30 and 60mg of CBD, which could mean up to 7 or 8 8mg candies a day in order to achieve this type of dosage. In short, you'd be swallowing far too many sweets a day, and too much sugar is never good for your health!
On the other hand, we recommend CBD candies as a "complementary product", to be consumed as a "snack" during the day in addition to taking anoil or capsule, to provide a little cannabidiol "boost" with gourmet pleasure. Perfect when you're feeling a little sluggish during the day!
FAQ
When should you take a CBD candy?
CBD candies can be taken at any time of day, when you're feeling a little tired or want a little boost! To take things a step further, and depending on your needs, there may be times when they're best consumed. For example, if you're looking to reduce stress or improve your concentration, consuming them during the day can be beneficial. But to promote restful sleep, we recommend taking them an hour before bedtime. Action time varies from person to person, but you should allow between 30 minutes and an hour to feel the full effects.
The benefits of our candies
The big advantage is that they're delicious! Unlike oil, whose taste is sometimes unpleasant, our CBD candies are tasty and appear to be a pleasure rather than a nuisance. What's more, the dosage is controlled and precise, since each candy contains a fixed concentration of CBD (8, 10 or 16mg), making this method of consumption easy to integrate into a daily routine.
What are the drawbacks of our CBD candies?
Realistically, there's no downside in particular, the only thing we could recommend is that you don't consume them as a replacement for an oil or capsules, as you'll be consuming far too much sugar per day, and that's likely to come at a price if you want to ingest a high concentration of CBD on a daily basis.
Is CBD candy or gummies psychoactive?
No, CBD candy is not psychoactive. Unlike THC, CBD does not alter perception or consciousness. This means that consuming CBD gummies does not result in euphoria or altered mental abilities. So it's possible to enjoy the benefits of CBD without fear of adverse effects. As a reminder, our gummies are THC-free, since they're made from pure CBD extract.
Legally, CBD candies are allowed in many countries, provided they contain less THC than the limit allowed in the country concerned, typically 0.2% or 0.3% in Europe.
