THC Baked Goods

We all love weed edibles and infused treats, but unless you live somewhere where marijuana is legal, they're hard to come by. But thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized the cultivation, sale, and consumption of hemp products, hemp-derived delta-9 THC is legal at the federal level. And in case you're wondering, Delta-9 THC is the same compound in weed that makes you high.

More technically speaking, THC baked goods are only legal if they contain no more than 0.3 percent hemp-derived delta-9 THC by dry weight. This legal status is based on federal law, but it's important to check state-specific regulations, as they can vary. Several individual states have prohibited the sale of certain cannabinoids. 

At the Hometown Hero THC Infused Bakery, we take our edible recipes seriously. First and foremost, our products must be tasty, meaning only premium, top-of-shelf ingredients go into every single batch. Because we freshly bake our treats, we have also created a custom formulation that keeps our products fresh for longer.

There is also the THC component. All our products contain hemp grown by a ​​small, locally-owned farm here in Texas. We follow natural growing practices, including protective microbes and organic compost, to ensure no dangerous pesticides or contaminants make it into the final products. We test every batch with a third-party laboratory to ensure every package contains what we say it does and nothing it shouldn't. Don't take our word for it- check out our Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for yourself!

What about allergens? If you have allergies, check the specific ingredient list before you purchase, as ingredients will vary between products. For example, our Fudgy Brownies contain wheat, and our Cereal Bites contain milk, so if you are gluten intolerant or vegan, try our line of THC Gummies instead.

Since they are edibles, the effects of Delta-9 THC baked goods are stronger and longer-lasting than inhaled options. Hpwever the effects will be slower in coming, since these morsels have to travel through your digestive system before being broken down by the liver. Just look at our Fudgy Brownies, which contain 50 milligrams of delta-9 THC in every single piece; depending on your tolerance, this can mean a wonderfully intense euphoric experience. 

With this in mind, remember the golden rule as you bite into a THC-infused edible: Start low and go slow. This is especially true if you are new to THC's effects. Don't be afraid to cut the treat into smaller pieces (for example, a 10 mg serving) rather than diving into the full-sized experience to ensure a happy and euphoric journey, and always wait until the effects have set in before going in for seconds.

There are two considerations for navigating all the delta-9 baked goods available today. First, only buy infused treats from reputable brands. At Hometown Hero, we manage the cultivation, formulation, and testing for all our goodies to ensure that not only is the hemp grown naturally, but the final product is entirely free of contaminants, solvents, and pesticides.

 

Secondly—and this one is easy—choose a treat that sounds utterly delicious! With so many infused options out there, not to mention the option to make them yourself, there is an array of baked THC edibles to choose from. For example, don't like chocolate? Try THC cookies or infused marshmallow cereal bars for a change.
