I’ve noticed the tide has shifted in social moments. Increasingly, more people I know are opting to laugh, unwind and bond over hemp gummies, instead of alcohol.
There are a host of reasons driving this trend, including health benefits, fewer adverse effects, and uniquely compelling experiences that are a result of cannabis edibles. Today, I want to share my own journey and why I’m now convinced hemp gummies represent a more desirable path for social or solo consumption.
The Downside of Alcohol
Although a major player in parties and celebrations, alcohol is also the source of our hangovers.
After a night of drinking, we might say something we regret and drive erratically, only to be punished by headaches, nausea, depletion of water from our cells, fatigue, and often a missed day’s work when the hangover fully sets in.
Repeated use of alcohol is associated with cirrhosis, addiction and cancers of the esophagus, liver and breast. I used to be a part of that circle for years. I would go out with friends and drink and feel awful the next day. I didn’t know anything different until I discovered hemp gummies.
Discovering Hemp Gummies
My first experience with hemp gummies was pretty glamorous. It was at a music festival and the promise of enjoying a concert without the dreaded hangover was, not surprisingly, an appealing one. And, in the end, I was pleasantly surprised.
The high was much lighter than what I had experienced before – it was more like a pleasant euphoria, which made the music flow both within and outwardly without hindering my natural ability to experience the event in full swing.
I didn’t feel so out of control, more present – and I woke up the next morning ready for another day at the festival if you can believe that!
Benefits of Hemp Gummies
There are many advantages to hemp gummies that make them preferable to getting drunk on alcohol. Here are a few of them:
- Hangovers? What hangovers? Bear in mind I’m now taking a few hemp gummies a week. I wake up in the morning after a night of socializing with my friends, and I am ready for the day. I’m not hungover at all.
- Greater Health Benefits: Hemp gummies provide the body with cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, which are scientifically proven to give users a lot of health benefits, such as reducing pain, decreasing anxiety, and improving sleep. Unlike alcohol, they won’t harm your liver or any other important body parts.
- Dosing and effects: it’s easier to dose (and dial down/up based on tolerance and desired effect) because the ‘set and setting’ are consistent with each gummy clearly labelled with a specific number of cannabinoids.
- Enhanced Social Experiences: Whether it’s at a music festival, a night out on the town, or a quiet night with friends and loved ones, taking hemp gummies can enhance social experiences without the negative effects of alcohol.
Personal Experience with Gummies
When I’m out with friends, I prefer Sativa gummies because they provide a consistent and enjoyable experience. The uplifting high enhances social interactions without the sloppiness that often accompanies alcohol.
But, my preferred way of ending the day is with Simple Leaf’s Delta 9 Indica Gummies in Blue Raspberry (I prefer all-natural made in the USA). These have become my go-to gummies. The indica gummies are fantastic for relaxing and ensuring a good night’s sleep after a long day.
At the end of a hectic day, two of these are all it takes to experience complete relaxation in order to retire for a night of rest, without the morning grogginess that router-based alcohol ensures.
Why the Shift?
And who wouldn’t? I don’t have to justify the choice of hemp gummies over a bottle of alcohol, and nor does anyone else, really. We’re in a transition to a new wellness paradigm, one that sees alcohol taking a back seat to safe, effective cannabis products with few to no side effects.
Moreover, it’s becoming more legal and socially acceptable as well, with more and more states legalizing the use of cannabis, from recreational to medicinal, with people discovering its benefits and incorporating it as part of everyday life.
Conclusion
This isn’t just a trend. It’s a move towards a healthier and happier way of life. Moving away from alcohol to hemp gummies like Simple Leaf’s has been a significant experience for me. Not only has it improved my social life, but it’s had a positive impact on my health, too. They provide great-tasting gummies made with high-quality ingredients for every occasion.
So, if you haven’t made the switch, go try a packet of hemp gummies and see for yourself. Whether you’re trying to take an edge off your evening, get recreationally high, or just unwind from a hard day of work, hemp gummies are going to be better for your body and your mind than booze. Cheers.
