Wyld’s Sour Cherry gummies pack all the tang and sweetness of your favorite candy without the earthy, weed flavor that comes through so many edibles.
These light pink pillows of gummy goodness are dusted in a tangy sugar dust and packaged into an elaborate, origami-esque red box. The Oregon brand’s sophisticated presentation and packaging is a reflection of the product’s effect itself: This indica-enhanced candy gives a relaxing, stoney feeling. A 1.4 oz package contains 10 gummies that have 10 mg THC each – for a total of 100 mg in the whole package.
The only thing is they’re a little dangerously tasty, so it’s probably best to tread with caution.

America’s millions of hemp consumers continue to face an uneven landscape of rules and regulations that are as varied as the myriad (and occasionally funky) Thanksgiving leftovers currently fermenting in the back of your fridge. But rest assured, Leafly Nation, we’re here to help you make sense of the chaos, and separate the signal from the hemp-derived noise.
This past month, the drama and confusion escalated across the country: The US Senate revealed a “concerning” draft of the 2025 Farm Bill that could kneecap the industry, Connecticut retailers sued the state over strict new THC limits, Ohio cooked up a potential Delta-8 ban and Hawaii amended its hemp program to allow for hemp-derived THC in edible products. Plus, a couple of industry players celebrated expansions and big harvests, and an Arizona company launched a gargantuan 100 mg Delta-8 gummy, intended to treat Alzheimer’s.
Without further ado, let’s dive in.
Spotlight: north’s Blueberry Dream Sleep gummies

Highlighting one of our favorite products of the month: Minnesota companies are on a tear right now, turning out some of the best hemp-derived THC beverages and gummies on the market. North exemplifies this trend with their well-balanced Sleep gummies. Each delectable little treat packs 5 milligrams of hemp-derived delta-9 THC, as well as 5 milligrams of CBD and CBN. As is often the case, I’d prefer the gummy to have less of a sugary coating, but the robust flavor and hefty effects make it a standout. A package of twenty gummies sells for $18 bucks, making it a good deal to boot. Learn more about North’s sleep gummies here.
The US Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry has released a new draft of next year’s Farm Bill, and the hemp industry is not pleased. (The bill follows the 2018 Farm Bill, which largely opened the door to the rapid expansion of hemp-derived cannabinoids.) Most notable, the new version redefines “hemp.” In lieu of the current approach, which sets a cap of 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, the new definition would set the limit at 0.3% total THC, which would include cannabinoids like Delta-8, Delta-9 and Delta-10 THC, as well as THCA. (This proposal still lands better than a version of the bill introduced in the US House in May, which would ban an estimated 90% of hemp products nationwide.) The bill won’t get much play until the next session of Congress begins next year, but rest assured, we’ll keep you posted as best we can.

Connecticut retailers have sued the state over new THC limits in hemp products. In October, Governor Ned Lamont (D) signed a pair of new bills that cap THC at 1 milligram per serving; in January, the cap will drop to 0.5 mg per serving. “The state has impermissibly changed the definition of hemp, and that’s what it all boils down to,” said the retailers’ attorney, Genevieve Park Taylor.
Another state seeks to limit THC: In Ohio, lawmakers are considering a proposal to cap hemp-derived cannabinoids at 0.5mg per individual serving, and 2mg per package.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green (D) has signed off on a new state policy that allows for low levels of THC in hemp-derived gummies and beverages. It also gives a green light to hemp extraction. The details of permissible THC, however, remain unclear. We’ve reached out to the state for more info.

Not so fast: The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) has hit pause on new rules for the hemp industry after growers and retailers pushed back. Proposals to allow unannounced, random inspections and bar individuals with drug-related felony convictions on their record from participating in the industry proved particularly contentious.
Texas’ enormous hemp industry is gearing up for another legal battle. Next month, the state Legislature will reconvene, and industry is bracing for lawmakers to make a (third) attempt to shut them down.
Viva la hemp: A new study from a group of Texas-based scientists has concluded that hemp varieties contain a surprising amount of microbial diversity. The findings could eventually help farmers utilize microbes in order to maximize the health and productivity of their hemp plants.
And that’s a sample from the wild world of legal hemp this December—2025 is sure to contain even more surprises.
Price: $30/a package of ten gummies (50mg THC total)
Your day turns downright peachy when you bite into one of Minny Grown‘s plump, chewy and fruit-forward peach gummies. Each one contains 5 milligrams of federally-legal, hemp-derived delta-9 THC, and delivers a warm and balanced high that lends itself to both chatty hangs and your quiet evening wind-down.
Although I would’ve preferred the gummy to have less of a sugary coating, the Minnesota brand otherwise knocked this one out of the park. It kept me calm, relaxed, and socially functional for hours; a combination that’s far from guaranteed for low-tolerance consumers like myself. I give Minny Grown bonus points for crafting a gummy on the larger side—it’s easy to dice into even smaller doses for consumers across the country who only want a tiny taste.
Note: Since Minny Grown products contain less than 0.3% THC, you can legally buy them through Minny Grown’s website and have them shipped to your home.
