People report experiencing all types of benefits from the cannabis plant. And most are familiar with THC and CBD. But, what about the less-known compounds found in this plant, such as THCV? And, is it best to take THCV in gummies or oil?
What Is THCV vs. THC?
The first question to answer when researching THCV gummies is, what is THCV? THCV may sound a lot like THC, but they are not the same substance. THC is the well-known compound inside marijuana and hemp that makes users experience that infamous blissful feeling.
THCV is commonly reported as providing a “skinny feeling.”What does that mean? It means those who smoke or consume THCV do not experience the “munchies”. The “munchies” is a common term used to refer to the hungry sensation people experience with THC.
This sensation occurs when the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the brain become triggered. In particular, the ability to bind with the CB1 receptor seems to be the mind changing triggering effect. THCV, as far as researchers can tell, binds differently with the CB1 receptor.
This seems to be the determining factor as to why THCV won’t give consumers the munchies. Another difference between THC and THCV is the dosage. THC has stronger impacts with a minimal dose. THCV requires a higher dosage to make consumers experience the effects. This is one of the reasons 3CHI offers products that are blended with TCHV + Delta 8 THC.
Finally, the THCV feeling is a short, energizing experience. THC is commonly a dulling and longer-term experience.
THCV + Delta 8 THC Gummies
Not all gummies are made equal. Many brands of THCV gummies include substances that are not good. They may contain excessive amounts of sugar or unnatural color dyes.
What to look for in good THCV + Delta 8 gummies is the purity of the Delta 8 THC. The purity of Delta 8 will impact the high experience and its duration. It also won’t dull the THCV with unwanted additives and preservatives.
What Are the Reported Effects* of THCV + Delta 8 Gummies?
The effects of THCV + Delta 8 gummies depend on the quality of the gummy. With a good THCV gummy, consumers report some of the following:
- Energizing effects
- Suppressed appetite
These effects vary per person. And, they are greatly impacted by the dose and the metabolism of the consumer.
Regardless of the dose, the effects typically start to after 60-90 minutes. This is usually dependent upon the weight metabolism of each consumer.
The lighter the person, the quicker the impact. And, if taken on an empty stomach, the THCV may metabolize faster.

What Research Has Been Done With THCV?
THCV has undergone fairly extensive research. Some experts believe it may hold several potential benefits to consumers. But, these reported potential benefits appear to depend on the quality of the dose and the consumer.
The first reported potential benefit is that users may experience energizing effects with THCV. The enhanced energy feeling seems linked to its effects on the CB1 receptor.
But, the energizing effects go a bit further than just this. Further research is required to understand the benefits of THCV.
THCV studies indicate the cannabinoid may help regulate blood sugar. In rodent studies, THCV shows promise in both with weight management and blood sugar regulation, though again, further research is needed.
Dosing THCV Gummies
THCV gummy dosage has several categories or levels. This ranges from low dosage, standard, high, and heavy depending on the amount of THCV and Delta 8 within the gummies.
Low to standard dosages tend to induce mild effects. Low dosing may help consumers feel energized without the blissful sensation. Standard dosing is about 5-10 mg higher than a low dose.
A standard dose will likely create the blissful sensation, but not the way THC does. Instead, users may experience clarity and a profound sensation. At large and heavy doses consumers may experience strong sensations. They may offer sedative effects and altered perceptions of surroundings.
Consumers report typically using these doses for sleep and anxiety. Always start with a lower dose to assess any individual needs.
