THC 101: What to Know Before You Pop That Gummy

THC 101: What to Know Before You Pop That Gummy

Your guide to legal THC, low doses & high vibes—with a little help from our Blood Orange THC gummies.

Let’s be honest: trying THC for the first time (or the first time in a while) can feel a little intimidating. Especially if your only point of reference is that one friend who “accidentally” ate a whole brownie in 2012.

We’re here to change that.

At RDMR, we make THC products that are precise, approachable, and totally legal—designed to help you slow down, feel good, and stay present (not panicked). Whether you're here to unplug solo or elevate your next sunset hang, our Delta-9 gummies deliver that just-right, hemp-derived high. Let’s walk through the basics so you can enjoy with confidence.


First Things First: What Is THC?

THC (short for tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis—the one responsible for that euphoric spirit lift.


Is THC Legal?

Yes—if you know what to look for.

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is legal at the federal level, as long as the THC content is less than 0.3% by dry weight. That’s why a single gummy can legally contain 5mg or more of THC—because it weighs enough to stay within that limit.

Our hemp derived gummies contain Delta-9 THC—the same compound found in marijuana, but at federally legal levels. That means our gummies deliver the same mood-boosting high.

Federally legal: As long as the product is derived from hemp and meets the dry weight requirement.
In Texas: Still legal (for now), but under pressure. Lawmakers are debating bills that could restrict or ban hemp-derived THC edibles—so if you love your legal gummies, now’s the time to stock up and speak up. Learn more about the state of hemp in Texas →


How to Dose THC edibles (Without Overdoing It)

Here’s the golden rule: start low, go slow.

Everyone’s tolerance is different, especially when it comes to edibles. And because your digestive system processes THC differently than smoking or vaping, effects can take 30 to 90 minutes to kick in—and last up to 6 hours.

Our Best Practices:

  • New to THC? Start with ½ a gummy (2.5mg THC)
  • Looking for a light lift? Try 1 full gummy (5mg THC + 5mg CBG)
  • Experienced user? You do you—but wait at least 90 minutes before taking more.

The goal here isn’t to zone out—it’s to tune in. That’s why our Blood Orange THC + CBG Gummies are dosed at 5mg of Delta-9 THC for a smooth, body-and-mind high. No weird vibes. No day-after fog.


Use Cases: From Slow Pleasures to Sunset Parties

There’s no wrong way to enjoy THC edibles, but here are a few of our favorite rituals:

The Slow and Unplugged

  • Turning your phone off and turning the noise down
  • Sunset journaling or walking barefoot outside
  • Upgrading a bath or movie night
  • Pairing with CBD to ease into a blissful sleep

The Social & Fun

  • Giggling through a dinner party with friends
  • Making pool days feel like a weeks vacation
  • Taking the edge off without drinking— or the hang over
  • Leveling up your weekend rituals (without losing your keys)

If your idea of a good time includes good snacks, good people, and a breezy blood orange gummy to take the edge off—you’re in the right place.
