<p>Your favorite treat, the gummies, are all grown up now. They are no longer just multicolored snacks for kids. Now they’re being used to help people supplement their diets with various minerals and vitamins. </p>
<p><a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-gummies">CBD gummies</a> are nothing new. They have built quite a reputation as an excellent way to take CBD while avoiding CBD oil's strong taste. There are many dispensaries and online retailers who sell these delicious treats.  </p>
<p>CBD gummies are widely available online, but did you know you can quickly make them yourself at home? What's more, many variations can help meet whatever dietary restrictions you face. This article features several recipes you can make at home. Here are a few things you need to know about CBD gummies and other CBD edibles.</p>
<h3>1. There are three types of CBD you can use </h3>
<p>There are <a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/full-broad-spectrum-isolate">three main kinds of CBD</a>: CBD isolate, full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD. CBD isolate is made by extracting all other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids: all the ingredients besides CBD itself. People who do this only want CBD in their extract. They may be highly sensitive to THC (the cannabinoid that gets you “stoned”), or they may undergo frequent drug testing and don't want THC in their system. </p>
<p>Full-spectrum CBD is what you would call the plant extract before anything is removed. There is a belief that there is an “entourage effect” when you ingest all the compounds in the plant, including all the cannabinoids.</p>
<p>Research is still ongoing as to what these other cannabinoids do, and they may contribute to the good results people get from taking CBD. The THC content in hemp-derived CBD is 0.3 percent or lower, so ideally it should not affect the person using it.</p>
<p>Those who want to receive help from the rest of the plant extracts, excluding THC, can take broad-spectrum CBD. Either type will work for the recipes below.</p>
<h3>2. Coated or infused</h3>
<p>There are two main types of CBD gummies: coated and infused. Coated gummies are either sprayed or covered with CBD. Determining these gummies' concentration is difficult because they may not be equally coated, and some of the coating may rub off during storage.</p>
<p>The best option is to use infused CBD gummies. The CBD is incorporated into the recipe, and as long as you mix well when making them, each gummy will have the same amount of CBD. </p>
<h3>3. Personal preference.</h3>
<p>Are you vegan? Do you prefer a keto or paleo diet? Do you have any food allergies? Do you have specific preferences like liking sweet gummies over sour gummies? Do you prefer gummy bears, worms, stars or hearts?</p>
<p>You can tailor your CBD gummy recipe to suit your needs. You can also incorporate certain ingredients if you want to make them for a specific reason.</p>
<h2>Why should you consider making your own?</h2>
<p>Here are five reasons why you should consider making your own CBD gummies. </p>
<h3>1. You have dietary restrictions.</h3>
<p>If you are on a diet you want to adhere to, you can alter the ingredients used to make the gummies.</p>
<h3>2. You want them to be more functional.</h3>
<p>Maybe you are concerned about the type of juice they use, and you have some preferences. Perhaps you prefer a specific kind of sweetener or want to use grass-fed gelatin. Whatever your choice, making these gummies yourself puts you at ease about what is in them.</p>
<h3>3. You want to control the concentration.</h3>
<p>You have tested them out and know that you want a specific amount of CBD per gummy. Maybe you are having a hard time finding gummies with that concentration. Making your own gummies allows you to determine what amount of CBD is in each gummy.</p>
<h3>4. You are on a budget.</h3>
<p>You could choose to buy premade gummies. However, they aren't always cheap. Making them on your own might allow you to enjoy them at a more affordable price.</p>
<h3>5. You can play with shapes and flavors.</h3>
<p>Maybe you don't like the common gummy shapes, and you prefer gummy dinosaurs instead. You can make them in whatever shape you want. You can vary the juice and the coating to make gummies that suit your needs. </p>
<h2>CBD gummies recipes.</h2>
<p>Here are three easy gummy recipes you should try.</p>
<h3>Basic fruit-juice gummies</h3>
<h4>Tools</h4>
<ol>
<li>BPA-free food-grade silicone molds of the desired shape</li>
<li>Saucepan</li>
<li>Dispensing bottle (optional)</li>
<li>Funnel (optional)</li>
<li>Mitts or gloves (optional)</li>
</ol>
<h4>Ingredients</h4>
<ol>
<li>1 cup spoon fruit juice</li>
<li>2 tablespoons raw honey</li>
<li>2 tablespoons gelatin</li>
<li>CBD oil</li>
</ol>
<h4>Instructions</h4>
<ol>
<li>Add the fruit juice to the saucepan and place on low heat until it begins to simmer.</li>
<li>Add the honey and gelatin and whisk continuously for about a minute. Turn off the heat.</li>
<li>Add the CBD oil and whisk until evenly distributed.</li>
<li>Distribute the mixture into the mold</li>
<li>If the mold has a dropper, use it to distribute the mixture without making a mess.</li>
<li>If it didn't come with a dropper, transfer the mixture into the condiment-dispensing bottle using a funnel. Use the bottle to distribute the mixture into the molds. The bottle may be hard to handle as the mixture is hot, so wear gloves to protect your hands.</li>
<li>Once the mixture is evenly distributed, you need it to set, so transfer it into the refrigerator.</li>
<li>Wait 30 minutes to an hour before checking for doneness. When they are done, you can remove them from the mold.</li>
<li>Transfer the gummies into an airtight bottle for storage. If you live in hot weather, store them in the refrigerator.</li>
</ol>
<p>You are all done with this easy recipe. Here are a few things to note:</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't overheat the mixture. If the liquid is too hot, it could break down the CBD oil terpenes, potentially altering the taste.</li>
<li>Use gelatin, not collagen. Collagen won't give the gummies their gummy texture.</li>
<li>Oil and water don't mix well, so you may need to work fast when distributing the mix into the mold, so the mixture doesn't separate.</li>
<li>Use the same size molds so that you have gummies with the same concentration.</li>
<li>Most fruit juices are fine to use, but avoid papaya, pineapple, kiwi, guava, mango, ginger root or figs. The enzymes in these fruits could break down the gelatin and ruin the recipe.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Citrus-flavored vegan gummies.</h3>
<p><span>Tools</span></p>
<p>Same as the earlier recipe.</p>
<h4>Ingredients</h4>
<ol>
<li>CBD powder</li>
<li>I cup orange juice</li>
<li>I tablespoon lemon juice</li>
<li>2 tablespoons pectin</li>
<li>3 tablespoons granulated sugar</li>
</ol>
<h4>Recipe</h4>
<ol>
<li>Pour the lemon and orange juice into the saucepan and add the pectin. Heat them on low.</li>
<li>Stir the mixture until it liquefies. Add the sugar and mix until well combined. You can add more sugar or sweetener to taste.</li>
<li>Remove the mixture from the heat and add the CBD powder. Mix until it is evenly distributed.</li>
<li>Pour the mixture into the gummy mold and put them in the refrigerator until they are set.</li>
<li>Remove and store in an airtight container.</li>
</ol>
<p>Notes</p>
<ul>
<li>Pectin is a plant-based alternative to the animal-based gelatin. The result may not be exactly the same as gelatin, but it is close.</li>
<li>Freshly made gummies tend to sweat. Before storage, let them rest for 12 to 24 hours.</li>
<li>If you toss the gummies in powdered sugar, it will prevent them from sticking together and give them a pleasant texture. You can add lemon juice to the powdered sugar for more tanginess.</li>
<li>Adding vitamin C to the recipe not only adds a burst of flavor; it also ups your vitamin C intake.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Keto CBT gummies</h3>
<h4>Tools</h4>
<p>Same as above.</p>
<h4>Ingredients</h4>
<ol>
<li>2 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin</li>
<li>I cup tart cherry juice</li>
<li>Xylitol, stevia or another sweetener of your choice</li>
<li>CBD tincture</li>
</ol>
<h4>Instructions</h4>
<ol>
<li>Pour the juice in the saucepan and heat to a gentle simmer.</li>
<li>Add the sweetener and gelatin, and stir until well mixed.</li>
<li>Turn off the heat. Add the CBD tincture to the liquid and mix to combine.</li>
<li>Transfer the mixture to the mold and pop them into the refrigerator to set.</li>
<li>They should be done after 30 minutes to an hour.</li>
</ol>
<p>Notes</p>
<ul>
<li>The tart cherry has been shown to help promote good sleep.</li>
<li>Using a sweetener other than sugar makes the gummies suitable for people with conditions like diabetes.</li>
<li>You can choose to add a few tablespoons of beeswax into the mixture before pouring it into the mold to give your gummies a shiny coat.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to control the concentration</h2>
<p>When making your gummies, you have to decide how much CBD you want each gummy to have. This may involve a little math. Don't worry, math haters, this math is as easy as the recipes you have just seen.</p>
<h3>1. Decide how much CBD you want each gummy to have.</h3>
<p>You may decide you want a low dosage of 2 mg or as high as 50 mg—it's up to you. Note that the higher the dosage, the stronger the taste of the CBD. A lower dosage may be better if you want to mask the taste.</p>
<h3>2. Decide how much CBD you need in total.</h3>
<p>If you are making 20 gummies with 2 mg CBD in each, you will need 40 mg of CBD.</p>
<p>20 gummies * 2 mg/gummy = 40 mg CBD</p>
<h3>3. Determine how much of the CBD oil/ tincture or powder you will need.</h3>
<p>Let's say you are using CBD oil. You have the 1,000 mg CBD oil in a 50 ml bottle. First, figure out how much CBD is in each ml of the oil.</p>
<p>1,000 mg / 50 ml = 20 mg/ml</p>
<p>Next, decide how many ml you will need.</p>
<p>40 mg / 20 mg/ml = 2 ml</p>
<p>Check if the bottle of CBD oil you have has supplied the value for the size of each drop. If it has, you may not have to measure. Just count the number of drops needed to make up the amount of CBD you require.</p>
<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<p>Here are some common questions asked concerning CBD gummies.</p>
<h3>Are they legal?</h3>
<p><a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/is-cbd-legal">CBD is legal</a> in the United States, but the legality may vary from state to state. Check out what your state laws have to say about it.</p>
<h3>Will they make me high?</h3>
<p>Many people confuse CBD with THC. There is a <a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/cbd-vs-thc">difference between CBD and THC</a>. THC is the cannabinoid that makes you high, not CBD. For most CBD products to be within the legal limits, they must be hemp-derived and contain at most 0.3 percent THC. This amount is too little to make you high. <br><br>Some extracts, such as CBD isolate or broad-spectrum, contain absolutely zero THC. That's why we use them for all of the products we offer on the <a href="https://penguincbd.com/">Penguin CBD</a> website.</p>
<h3>How many should I take?</h3>
<p>This is an individual choice. The amount of CBD gummies depends on several variables, such as</p>
<ul>
<li>your weight,</li>
<li>your body chemistry and</li>
<li>what you need them for. </li>
</ul>
<p>One way to determine how many gummies to take is to start with the lowest dose. Take one gummy and keep adding one a day until you find the amount that works for you. Then you can switch to gummies with that particular constitution or make your own.</p>
<h2>How long do they take to kick in and wear out?</h2>
<p>Again, this is an individual matter. They may take 30 minutes or longer to kick in, and may last up to six hours. Be aware that because they have to go through the digestive process, the concentration that reaches your bloodstream may be lower than you consume.</p>
<h2>Take Away</h2>
<p>For those who wish to add some cannabinoids like CBD into their day-to-day lives, making your own CBD gummies is a great way to do so. Try any of these recipes today.</p>

Introducing Penguin’s Most Potent Product Yet: 2,500mg CBD Oil

<p>Research continues to emerge about CBD and how it interacts with the body. There have been many studies conducted to explore its potential effects.</p>
<p>However, given that this research is still in progress, it's difficult for scientists to answer that question completely. Before we get into whether CBD is addictive, let's look at the science behind addiction – what it is and who's at risk. </p>
<h2><strong>What makes a substance addictive? </strong></h2>
<p>Because legal requirements don't allow us to compare THC and CBD, we're going to presume that you know where CBD comes from and that it doesn't do the same thing to your body as marijuana. The thing to keep in mind here is that marijuana can be both physically and psychologically addictive, depending on the person. </p>
<p>Many people don't understand how a person can go from living a drug-free life to becoming addicted. Even more confusing for some people is why people choose to <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/understanding-drug-use-addiction">remain addicted to drugs</a>. Sometimes, people think a person decides to remain addicted because they have no willpower or morality.</p>
<p>The truth is that addiction is a chronic disease that's characterized by <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/understanding-drug-use-addiction">drug-seeking behavior</a>. It leads users to situations that are dangerous and often harmful. Repeated drug use can change how the brain works and interfere with their ability to resist using. </p>
<p>On the other hand, CBD doesn't appear to be addictive since it's not psychoactive. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to help release endocannabinoids we already have in our bodies.</p>
<h2><strong>But wait, what does that mean?</strong></h2>
<p>When a person takes an addictive drug, the brain's reward circuit is activated and releases endorphins like dopamine. The result is that a person begins to feel varying degrees of euphoria. Then the brain signals to the person that they need to feel more of that to survive. Surges in dopamine to the brain reinforce that feeling, causing people to seek out the drugs over and over. </p>
<p>A person who consistently uses addictive drugs alters their brain. Cells in the reward circuit are changed, which means that the high a person feels as their addiction progresses is never the same as the high a person felt the first time they used.</p>
<p>Research hasn't shown that CBD affects the brain's reward system, but it affects other bodily systems.</p>
<h2><strong>The endocannabinoid system</strong></h2>
<p>Let's get clear about one thing. CBD is an amazing supplement that can help you live your best life and increase your overall well-being. There are significant benefits (more about those later), but for now, just know that CBD might be the answer you're seeking. </p>
<p>In 2018, the Farm Bill was passed, making industrial hemp-derived CBD legal across the country, and creating one of the fastest-growing self-care industries. CBD's legality still varies from state to state, so make sure you protect yourself and know the laws where you live. </p>
<p>More and more people ask questions about CBD since it's more available than ever, but the truth is that health-food stores have been carrying CBD for cooking and skincare for decades. That's great news for everyone, as even big-name companies are exploring how CBD can benefit the average consumer. </p>
<p>The active ingredient in CBD is, of course, CBD. It's thought to <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/cannabidiol-cbd-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-2018082414476">play a role</a> in regulating the endocannabinoid system (ECS), one of the most under-researched and misunderstood systems in the human body. </p>
<p>Without getting too technical, the ECS is present in every human and named for the cannabis-like substances that each of us produces. Homeostasis helps keep everything in your body – from your temperature to your heart rate – running optimally. </p>
<p>When your ECS is out of balance because of stress, chronic illness or other factors, it sends signals to other parts of your body to recorrect. The ECS helps to regulate lots of important bodily functions.</p>
<p>The ECS is turned on and off at certain times to help your body run the way it should. But, if you're deficient in cannabinoids, the ECS might not work properly. One of the major appeals of CBD products is that you can appropriately dose to achieve optimal functioning. In other words, you don't need 500 mg of CBD if 250 mg works just as well for you.</p>
<h2><strong>So, what do we know about CBD?</strong></h2>
<p>We know that CBD research continues to amaze scientists. And we know that enthusiasts continue to find new paths to wellness by using CBD. CBD can currently be found in everything from shampoo to coffee creamer and even makeup, but what do we really know about it? </p>
<p>We also know that there are inadequate regulatory practices relating to CBD, which means that what you think you're buying might not be what you actually get. There's no way to tell how much you should take and no tangible way to figure out if it's going to work.</p>
<p>Scientists also don't know what kinds of people might receive help from using CBD, which makes it even more difficult to design and implement research studies.</p>
<p>The challenge is not knowing what you're buying. </p>
<p>Since the market is so unregulated, it's important to buy through a reputable supplier like us. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting a product that puts you outside the laws. </p>
<p>Something to keep in mind is the fact that the hemp plant is what's known as a “hyperaccumulator,” which means that it absorbs anything in the soil in which it's grown. That's one reason hemp can grow in so many places, but it also means that your CBD product's overall purity is going to be directly related to the quality of the soil. So, if product is grown behind a chemical production plant, chances are some chemicals are going to seep into the soil, which you'll ingest. </p>
<p>As we mentioned earlier, because there’s so little regulation, there's no way to determine your product's quality unless you explicitly trust your retailer. You might think you're getting a high-quality gummy or tincture, but you could be getting a product with zero CBD in it.</p>
<p>There are multiple factors that can influence this, including the distillation process, unreputable retailers and unclear FDA regulations. Because all products on the market are so unregulated, you must be careful when selecting your retailer. </p>
<p>To help keep everything transparent for our customers, <a href="https://penguincbd.com/">Penguin CBD</a> is dedicated to providing lab purity results with every product we sell. That's just one way that we make sure to set ourselves apart from the rest of the crowd.</p>
<p>The ECS is so vast, and there's so much to research, that CBD studies still have a long way to go. There's not much scientific evidence to say one way or another about long-term effects or how CBD might affect brain development. That's yet another reason it's so important for you to trust your supplier. </p>
<p>Speaking of research, it's still not clear how CBD might interact with medications, so that's something to keep in mind if you start to explore this path. We also don't know exactly how the liver metabolizes CBD, so if you're in a high-risk category for liver-related issues, you should think carefully about your choices. </p>
<p>Third-party laboratory testing is done when a retailer sends its products to an outside lab to be evaluated for purity and CBD levels. However, many companies don't even bother testing their products for purity levels. <a href="https://penguincbd.com/lab-reports">That's not how we do it</a>, of course, but we know they're out there.</p>
<p>When you’re looking to buy <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-oil">CBD oil for sale</a>, lab tests help separate facts from fallacies and allow you to make good purchasing choices. Tests are good for both you as the consumer and for the retailer, since third-party testing helps establish the purity of what they're selling. </p>
<p>Right now, third-party testing is a requirement by law, but we believe it's important, and that's why we assess all our CBD for potency and purity. This is just one way you can set yourself at ease when purchasing CBD products.</p>
<h2>
<strong>Final </strong><strong>t</strong><strong>houghts on whether CBD is </strong><strong>a</strong><strong>ddictive </strong>
</h2>
<p>Addiction is thought to be a disease involving the brain since it rewires the way your brain works. It's often shown as an intense desire to use a drug, despite knowing its consequences. People who have addictions will stop at nothing to get their drug of choice because using the drug has rewired their brain to make them believe they need it to survive. People with addictions often have disordered thought patterns and changes in their cognition. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.who.int/medicines/access/controlled-substances/CannabidiolCriticalReview.pdf">Initial studies</a> haven't shown that CBD influences or changes a person's perception, judgment or ability to make decisions. For this reason, many researchers believe that CBD isn't addictive. But, as time continues and more research is conducted, more answers about CBD are bound to be answered. </p>

Before we get into whether CBD is addictive, let's look at the science behind addiction – what it is and who's at risk.
