What are THC Capsules?

THC capsules are dosage-controlled cannabis capsules made using a highly refined extract from the cannabis plant and neutral oil.

They are also known as cannabis oil capsules, THC pills, THC gels, and weed pills, among other names.

The two key components of a cannabis capsule are the cannabis extract and neutral oil.

In today's advanced era of concentrates, these capsules can feature full-spectrum cannabis oil with pronounced levels of THC.

These cannabis extracts can also feature other cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC or even CBD. CBD capsules and products can come with THC or without it.

It's important to check the cannabinoid breakdown on cannabis capsules and other cannabis products to understand the dose and effects you should expect.

Mood has two soft-gel capsule products that you can easily consume by swallowing with a cup of water. One features Delta-8 THC primarily, while the other features HHC as the leading cannabinoid.

Each of these products offers a great alternative to smoking weed or using potent cannabis oil like Delta-9 THC live resin.

Benefits of THC Capsules

Cannabis capsules can offer a range of benefits, including a convenient and discreet way to consume cannabis and get cannabinoids into your body.

Tablets, softgels, and other edibles can also provide a consistent and controlled dosage of THC and other cannabinoids.

Cannabis capsules can be a great alternative to smoking or vaping cannabis. If you prefer something with a little more flavor, you can seek out edibles with the exact same cannabinoids and terpenes, too.

Lastly, THC pills can offer a longer-lasting and more sustained effect compared to other forms of cannabis. The same goes for gelatin gummies, softgels, and other edibles.

Consumers who appreciate discreet products may also enjoy a shipping process that's low-key.

How THC Capsules Work

After taking a cannabis capsule, a detailed process begins, including metabolism by the liver and absorption into the bloodstream.

The onset time of THC capsules is typically around 90 minutes, with effects lasting anywhere from 5-12 hours. Remember that THC pills and edibles with nano-THC hit the body faster, making them better for anyone who prefers a quicker onset.

The actual intensity of the effects often tapers off subtly over time. This, of course, depends on the potency and quality of the products you're purchasing.

Factors such as age, other medications, and personal cannabis tolerance can affect the duration and intensity of the effects.

It's important to consult a qualified doctor or wellness professional before purchasing cannabis products if you have questions about how they may be absorbed or tolerated by your body.

Types of Cannabis Pills and Capsules

Cannabis pills/capsules can be organized into categories, including different types of cannabinoids and ratios.

Formulators can create many different capsule types for consumers to choose from. Cannabis pills can consist of powdered THC in capsules, liquid THC coil in softgel form, or as a gelatin gummy.

At Mood, we call the latter Gummies to keep it simple.

THC Pills vs. Edibles: What’s the Difference?

THC pills are considered a type of edible, but differ from traditional edibles in terms of calorie and sugar content.

THC pills are often sugar-free, gluten-free, and cruelty-free, making them a popular choice for those with dietary restrictions.

These simplicities make THC pills a great alternative to edibles with sugars or other ingredients you may want to avoid.

They also give you another avenue to enjoy cannabis that doesn't require smoking or vaping.

FAQs About THC Capsules

Q: Are THC capsules considered full spectrum or broad spectrum?

They can be either, depending on the formulation.

The potency, range of cannabinoids, and more can be measured by the number of milligrams (mg) of each cannabinoid.

Potency can also be affected by the presence of other psychoactive compounds and the ratio of those ingredients to hemp-derived ones.

Q: Do capsules work faster than pills?

No, they are the same.

Generally, the onset will have more to do with the level of THC and then the user's specific attributes — i.e., potency tolerance, experience with cannabis oil, THC tolerance, body type, sleep habits, whether or not you've been taking in cannabis by other means like vaping, etc.

To enhance an onset, consider trying a form of cannabis designed to consume and deliver effects fast. One example of such a form of cannabis is nano-THC products, which are all the rage right now.

Q: Are capsules considered edibles?

Yes, THC capsules are considered edibles.
