Sugar-Free Edibles

Sugar-free THC edibles are cannabis-infused treats that contain either no sweeteners or only use sugar alternatives, like stevia and allulose. They are just like conventional sugar-free candies and sweets but with a serving of THC. For health-conscious cannabis lovers (particularly those managing blood sugar levels or adhering to specific diets like keto), these are an excellent alternative to the usual sugary options that are often available.

And yes, these sugar-free edibles provide the same psychoactive effects as traditional THC-infused products, just without the sugar content you may be trying to avoid.

Within the broader category of sugar-free THC edibles are unsweetened edibles or edibles sweetened with different sugar alternatives, each with specific characteristics. The two main classes of sweetners used in the latter group are artificial sweeteners (like aspartame and erythritol) and all-natural sweeteners (like stevia and allulose).

At Hometown Hero, we prefer to stick with the natural options, which is why we’ve launched sugar-free THC gummies with allulose. For the sake of brevity, here are just a few of the benefits of our preferred all-natural sweetener:

From THC gummies to sour candies to taffy and beyond, with enough digging, it's possible to find just about any edible in a sugar-free format these days. Yet, it can be challenging to find sugar-free THC gummies with all-natural ingredients.

Because we know how hard it is to find a healthier alternative in the sugar-free cannabis edibles market, we’ve launched a lineup of sugar-free options, either unsweetened or sweetened only with all-natural allulose.

Yes! Provided the sugar-free edibles have been infused with hemp-derived cannabinoids, they are legal from a federal standpoint. This is thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized all things hemp, including hemp extractions, provided they contain less than 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis.

Just keep in mind that a few states have issued their own set of regulations around hemp and hemp products, usually targeting specific cannabinoids. Before you start exploring the world of sugar-free cannabis edibles, we recommend double-checking against your local rules to confirm legality. But don't worry- if you try ordering from our online store and a product is restricted in your state, we won't ship or let you place your order, for that matter.

Yes! Sugar-free THC edibles are safe, provided they come from a trusted brand and have third-party lab test results on potency and contamination. Once that is confirmed, both sugar-filled or sugar-free THC edibles tend to have an acceptable safety profile, provided you are dabbling in moderation.

When it comes to the safety of the sweetener, there are some health concerns with artificial sweeteners. However, these only apply to large daily servings over a long period. 

Even still, many people prefer to go the all-natural route, and we are of the same mind. This is why we chose to work with allulose when formulating our sugar-free cannabis gummies. It’s naturally occurring in foods like figs, raisins, maple syrup, and wheat and can also be produced through a process that begins with corn starch or sugar beets. Better yet, allulose is FDA-approved and has been shown to be safe in clinical trials and placebo-controlled studies.

If you’ve never tried edibles, particularly those with THC, you’ll want to go slow and start low. This means, for your first few times, start with the lowest possible serving, which is typically five to 10 milligrams of THC. Check the package for the THC per sugar-free gummy or edible, and then cut it into smaller pieces to achieve this serving size. Fortunately our edibles are scored in equal, consistent quarters for easy serving.

Once you’ve eaten it, wait for at least 90 minutes to reach peak effects. Only go back for seconds once you are familiar with the euphoria and heightened sensations that come along with THC.
