Hempthy

Hempthy is a CBD edibles brand and this collection holds 9 Hempthy products. Every one of them is a CBD gummy. The range runs across familiar sweet shop formats: Fizzy Sour Peach Rings, Fizzy Gummy Bears, American Hard Gums, Imperial Mints, a Sugar Free option and a Pick N Mix. Standard packs sit at £12.99 and the larger Bubblegum Bottles and Cherry Cola Bottles tubs sit at £27.99.

CBD is short for cannabidiol, one of the naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant. It is not the compound responsible for the intoxicating effect associated with cannabis, which is THC. CBD edibles sold legally in the UK are food products. They are not medicines and nothing on this page should be read as a medical claim.

Why choose an edible over other formats

CBD reaches the UK market in several formats. Oils and tinctures go under the tongue. Capsules are swallowed whole. Vape liquids are inhaled through a standard refillable device. Edibles such as these gummies are simply eaten.

The practical arguments for an edible are dosing and discretion. Each sweet carries a stated amount of CBD, so you know exactly what you have taken without measuring drops against a pipette marking. There is no hemp taste to get past, because the flavouring is doing the work. There is also nothing to carry, charge or refill.

Reading a CBD label

Two numbers matter on a pack of gummies and it is easy to confuse them. The total CBD content is the figure for the whole pack or tub. The CBD per piece is what you actually consume in one go. A tub advertised at a high milligram figure spread across a large number of sweets can work out lower per piece than a small pack with a modest headline number.

Divide the total by the piece count on the pack and you have the per sweet figure. That is the number to plan around. Always read the product label itself rather than working from a category page, because pack sizes vary across this range.

Extract types explained

Full spectrum

Full spectrum retains the wider range of naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant, including trace amounts of other cannabinoids and terpenes, within the legal thresholds that apply in the UK.

Broad spectrum

Broad spectrum keeps that wider profile but removes THC. It suits anyone who wants the fuller extract while avoiding THC entirely.

Isolate

Isolate is purified CBD with everything else stripped away. It has no hemp taste of its own, which makes it a common choice for sweets and confectionery where the intended flavour is peach, cola or bubblegum rather than plant.

The UK novel foods position

Ingestible CBD is classed as a novel food in Great Britain. That means products must be linked to a valid application on the Food Standards Agency public list to be sold legally. That list is the reference point for what is on the market lawfully. The FSA advises healthy adults to consume no more than 70mg of CBD per day from all sources unless a medical professional advises otherwise. That 70mg ceiling covers everything combined, so count gummies alongside any oil or capsule you already take.

The FSA also advises that CBD is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or taking prescribed medication. If any of that applies, speak to a pharmacist or GP before starting.

Storage and age restriction

Keep gummies sealed, cool and out of direct sunlight. Warmth makes them stick together and can degrade the extract over time. Store them well away from children and anyone who might mistake them for ordinary sweets, because that is exactly what they look like. CBD products are sold to adults aged 18 and over only.

Delivery and support

UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and working day orders are dispatched quickly. For questions about pack sizes or flavours in the range, call the team on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
