I Tried cbdMD’s High Potency THC Gummies—and They Earned the Name

A fruity 10mg THC gummy that’s easy to split and lasts for hours.

The first thing I noticed about cbdMD’s Vibe High Potency THC Gummies was the sugar encrusting.

It wasn’t the dose, or the full-spectrum hemp extract, or even the “fast-acting” label that caught my eye. It was the sugar. These mango gummies are little cube-like squares covered in crystals you can actually see, which makes them look more like candy than medicine—not what I expected from a brand called cbdMD.

Each gummy has 10mg Delta-9 THC, which is a normal dose for a lot of edible people and still way too much for others. I liked that the jar doesn’t pretend otherwise. cbdMD’s suggests lower-tolerance people to start with a quarter gummy, and because the gummies are square, that’s actually realistic. You can cut one into 5mg halves or 2.5mg quarters without totally butchering it.

The mango flavor is good in the way mango gummies usually are: sweet, fruity, easy to like. These are also vegan, gluten-free, made with organic ingredients, and full-spectrum, which basically means there are trace cannabinoids in the mix instead of THC showing up alone.

For me, these landed as a long-lasting after-work gummy. Not instant, and not something I’d take if I only wanted to be high for an hour. More like a candy-looking edible that quietly gets you high.

cbdMD’s Vibe High Potency THC Gummies are stronger than the fruity mango-candy look suggests. There are six other flavors to choose from if mango isn’t your jam.

One gummy has 10mg THC, which worked well for me as an after-work dose. I felt relaxed, lifted, and aware that I had taken an edible. Two gummies was a different evening entirely, and not something I’d casually recommend unless 20mg THC is already normal for you.

Buy it if: you want a vegan, gluten-free THC gummy with organic ingredients, a full-spectrum formula, and a long-lasting high.

Skip it if: you want a tiny microdose, a quick in-and-out edible, or something you can take without thinking about your tolerance.

Best part: the square shape makes it easy to cut into halves or quarters.

Biggest drawback: “fast-acting” meant about 45 minutes for me, which is faster........
