Delta 9 THC is hands-down the most well-known cannabinoid; after all, that’s the thing that makes you euphoric. This chemical compound is naturally found in the cannabis plant in abundance, but it is also present in trace amounts in hemp plants. Delta 9 derived from cannabis and hemp has the exact same chemical structure, which means both induce the same psychoactive feeling. In accordance with The Farm Bill, Laughing Buddha’s blended Delta 9/Delta 8 strawberry rings are all derived from hemp.

Is Citric Acid Good For You?
Citric acid is a weak organic acid that’s naturally found in citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. It’s what gives these fruits their characteristic tart, sour taste. On a molecular level, citric acid is a key intermediate in the citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle), which is an essential part of metabolism in almost all living organisms. This cycle helps turn carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and water, generating energy for the cells.
In its pure form, citric acid is a white, crystalline powder. The lab-made version used in food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other applications is generally produced through a fermentation process involving a mold called Aspergillus niger. This process allows for the large-scale production of citric acid that is then used as a flavoring agent, preservative, and stabilizer in many products. The acid is capable of altering the pH of solutions, which is why it’s often added to foods and beverages.
Since it is packed with vitamin C, citric acid not only helps boost your immune system, but it also protects your cells from damage. In addition, it can enhance nutrient absorption, especially iron, which is vital for preventing anemia. Beyond what it does inside your body, citric acid plays a role in skincare too. It can help brighten and soften your skin by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells.
Based on this, moderation is key. While natural citric acid from fruits is beneficial, synthetic versions used as preservatives or flavor enhancers in THC edibles should be incorporated carefully. If you have a sensitive stomach, too much citric acid could lead to digestive issues like acid reflux or stomach aches. We recommend keeping an eye on how your body reacts after consuming a gummy.
Here are just some of the many benefits citric acid brings to the table, whether it is naturally-made or formulated in a lab:
- It adds a tangy or sour taste that can balance the sweetness in edibles. This contrast in flavors makes the Strawberry Rings more enjoyable to eat, instead of too-sweet.
- Citric acid is an incredible preservative, which means it extends the shelf life of THC edibles. It helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, and keeps the edibles safe and consumable for longer periods.
- By maintaining the pH level, citric acid can help ensure the stability of THC in edibles. This is important for keeping the potency of the edibles consistent, so you get the expected effect every time.
- There is some evidence to suggest that certain acids, like citric acid, might enhance the body’s ability to absorb THC. This means you could potentially get more benefits from a lower dose.
- Citric acid is also known to protect your body cells from free radicals’ damage. The primary reason for using citric acid in edibles might not be for health benefits, it’s a nice added perk.
- One of the coolest things about citric acid is that it can bind with minerals, which enhances the bioavailability of some nutrients, and makes them easier for the body to absorb.
