Space Gods Gummies is a popular THC and CBD edibles brand. The brand describes their product line as the “#1 Selling Edibles” and “Legal Cannabis.”
But how much THC and CBD is really in Space Gods Gummies? Does the brand use any questionable additive ingredients? How do real users rate the effects of these gummies? And is Delta-9 THC dangerous?
In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more as we analyze the ingredients in Space Gods Gummies based on medical studies to give our take on whether the supplements are likely to be effective based on their active ingredients, and whether they contain any unhealthy inactive ingredients.
We’ll feature real user reviews of the brand and discuss whether the type of THC in Space Gods Gummies is dangerous.
Ingredient Analysis
Space Gods Gummies contains two active ingredients: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is psychoactive while CBD is not.
Prolonged use of cannabis may be detrimental to physical and mental health, according to a 2014 medical review, but it’s unclear if those same effects may pertain to cannabis-derived products like those sold by Space Gods which are more isolated.
The full set of ingredients in the Pink Lemonade flavor of Space Gods Gummies are shown below:
Granulated sugar is a type of added sugar, and added sugar may contribute to diabetes, obesity and heart disease when consumed in excess according to a 2019 medical review.
The inclusion of added sugar is one of the reasons we consider cannabis and CBD gummies to be less healthy than cannabis or CBD oil, which is typically free of questionable additives.
Citric acid is clinically shown to cause whole-body inflammation in a small subset of individuals, as we discussed in our review of Lemme Gummies.
Natural flavor is a healthier alternative to artificial flavor, but a medical review published in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal suggests that some flavoring additives and their metabolites may have toxic effects in humans.
Overall, we don’t recommend Space Gods Gummies from a health perspective due to the inactive ingredients highlighted above, although these ingredients are included in nearly all cannabis/CBD gummy supplements.
But what is delta-9 THC and what are its specific effects on the mind? We’ll discuss these questions in the next section.
Is Delta-9 THC Safe?
Delta-9 is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, so when brands reference potential psychoactive effects of cannabis generally, they’re referring to effects caused by delta-9.
