Over the past decade, cannabis has been slowly shedding its cloak of cultural and legal disapproval to emerge as a more accepted substance in many parts of society. Yet, the world of sports has generally adhered to a contrasting perspective, viewing cannabis as a potential blight on the competitive spirit and reputation of the game. This stigma remains palpable and has even cost athletes their dream.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

I’m a firm believer that consumers have more power when they have more options. That’s why I’m always happy to see new labels adding new flavors, the more options the better. Dibz , a label from Contract Canna , has recently added Pineapple Mango to its edibles lineup, so I picked up a sample to see how the new option stacks up. Dibz Pineapple Mango gummies come as a bag of 20 gummies with 5mg of THC per piece.

Delta-8 vs. Delta-9 THC: Chemistry & Pharmacology Δ9-THC (“delta-nine”) is the principal psychoactive compound associated with cannabis. By default, when we talk about “THC” we mean delta-9 THC. “Delta-eight” (Δ8-THC) is a nearly identical compound. In the language of chemistry, it’s an isomer of delta-nine-THC–the same number of atoms of each element.
