New edibles hit the market everyday it seems like, but do we really know what’s in the delicious cannabis products we consume on a regular basis? Today Skip The Smoke will be delivering an in depth analysis of the Stoner Patch Dummies ingredients. These THC infused gummies are extremely popular, and with that comes curiosity of how these weed edibles are created. Let’s take a look at what makes the Stoner Patch Dummies 500mg edibles a favourite in the edibles community.
The Stoner Patch Dummies ingredients are listed on the back of the eye catching and colourful packaging: Cannabis Oil, Sugar, Citric Acid, Tartaric Acid, Natural Flavors, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Blue 1. Quite a few different food dyes are listed in the ingredients but our main focus will be on the actual oils, acids, and ingredients that make up the Stoner Patch Dummies 500mg edibles.
The first ingredient listed is cannabis oil. What is cannabis oil? Cannabis oils are an extract from cannabis plants. Not processed, they contain the same 100 active ingredients as the plants, but the balance of compounds depends on the specific plants the oil comes from. The 2 main active compounds in cannabis plants are cannabidiol, or CBD, and delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol/THC. The oil extracted from hemp plants can contain quite a bit CBD, while oil from skunk plants will contain far more THC. THC produces the high and euphoric effects that recreational cannabis users seek, while oils for medical use contain mostly CBD.
How is cannabis oil different from cannabis? The other forms of cannabis are solid, usually sold either as resin or dried plant material. In commercially-made medical cannabis oils, the concentrations of CBD and THC are usually well-controlled, which makes it easy to calculate doses. Some would then wonder, does cannabis oil work as medicine? CBD is a anticonvulsant, and some other compounds in the plant, including THC and cannabidivarin, may as well. There is solid evidence from clinical trials in the US and Europe that pharmaceutical preparations of CBD can treat two severe forms of epilepsy in children known as Dravet syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Both forms of childhood epilepsy often fail to improve with existing epilepsy drugs. CBD is generally considered safe, but some trials have reported side effects including dry mouth, lightheadedness, and altered liver enzyme activity.
The next ingredient listed is sugar, to no ones surprise sugar is used is most candy and THC infused edibles to give them a sweet and savoury taste. What is sugar? Well let us take a closer look at sugar to understand what it is from the most fundamental level, its origin and structure. You have probably heard the term “sucrose” at one point or another — but what is that? While it might sound overly technical or even man-created, sucrose is simply the chemical name for sugar, the white and sparkly carbohydrate we know and love that is produced naturally in all plants: fruits, vegetables and yes even nuts. It is quite obvious why sugar is need to create the Stoner Patch Dummies.
Citric acid, the next ingredient listed on the back of our favourite 500mg THC infused gummies. Citric acid is naturally found in citrus fruits like lemons and limes. It’s what gives them their sour, tart-like taste. The manufactured form of citric acid is commonly used as an additive in food, cleaning agents, and nutritional supplements. Although this manufactured form is different from what’s found naturally in citrus fruits. For this reason, some may wonder whether if it’s good or bad for you.
Citric acid was first derived from lemon juice by a researcher from Sweden in the year 1784. The colourless and odourless compound was produced from lemon juice until the early 1900s when researchers then discovered that it could also be made from black mold, “Aspergillus niger”, creates citric acid when feeding on sugar. The acidic, sour-tasting nature of citric acid is most commonly used as a flavouring and a preserving agent — especially in candies and soft drinks. It is also used to stabilize or preserve medicines, and as a disinfectant against bacteria and viruses.
After citric acid, the following ingredient listed on the Stoner Patch Dummies 500mg edibles is tartaric acid, another acid of sorts. Tartaric acid, also known as dihydroxybutanedioic acid, which is a dicarboxylic acid, one of the most widely distributed plant acids, with a number of food and industrial uses. Along with lots of its salts, cream of tartar (potassium hydrogen tartrate) and Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate), it is obtained from the by-products of wine fermentation. In a partly purified form, tartar was then known to ancient Greeks and Romans; the free acid was first isolated in the year 1769 by a chemist from Sweden, Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The lees, sediments, and other wasteful products from fermentation are heated and neutralized by using calcium hydroxide; the precipitated calcium tartrate is then treated with sulfuric acid to produce free tartaric acid.
The last ingredient listed before we reach basic food colouring are natural flavours, but what are natural flavours really? In the Environmental Working Group’s Food Scores database, “natural flavors” is listed as the fourth most common ingredient on labels. The only ingredients that outrank natural flavours are salt, sugar and water. Yet, natural flavouring isn’t nearly as simple as these three common ingredients. “Natural and artificial flavours play quite an interesting role in food. They’re essentially providing the taste and often they’re added to make the food more appealing, or to potentially replace something that’s lost through processing, storage or in some cases even from pasteurizing,” says David Andrews, senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group. The Stoner Patch 500mg edibles, like a lot of your favourite candies and edibles use natural flavours to help create multiple flavours of the initially created products, thus providing the consumers like you and I with many different flavours to try and enjoy!
