Willo 500mg THC Gummies - Lychee

Aromatic lychee that is sweet, with some floral and acidic notes, is how Willo describes the flavour of this THC gummy. The 500 mg bag holds ten gummies at 50 mg each, and Willo titles it a Night bag with indica as the THC type. At 500 mg, Willo also makes Mango Peach and Strawberry under the Night title, and Tropical Punch under Day.

Winterized CO2 oil and the rest of the recipe

Willo makes these gummies with winterized CO2 full-spectrum oil. The rest of the recipe on Willo’s Lychee page is sugar, glucose, gelatin and sorbitol, plus citric acid, potassium sorbate and the lychee flavouring.

Since the recipe uses gelatin, our guide to plant-based cannabis edibles may be more useful to anyone who avoids it.

Splitting a 50 mg gummy

Willo’s instruction for first-time users is to try half a gummy and then wait, because onset may stretch to 2 or 3 hours. The liver processes THC from a gummy before it is felt, which is why edibles start slowly and outlast smoked cannabis.

Health Canada puts the top of its lower-risk range for an edible at 2.5 mg THC. Its timing for eaten cannabis is first effects within half an hour to 2 hours, and full effects as late as 4 hours after eating. A 6-hour wait before driving, at the least, is part of Health Canada’s lower-risk guidance.

Reading the milligram figures on an edible’s package is covered in our edibles dosage guide.

Storing the lychee gummies, and Willo’s Toronto base

Willo recommends cool, dry storage with the bag kept from heat and sun, and mentions the fridge as a suitable place. Willo’s home page says sourcing, production and packaging are all done in Toronto.
