The most hemp extract you could realistically fit in a regular gummy is about 100 mg, so why can you find gummies online claiming to have 200,000,000 mg? If you’re shopping for hemp on a store like Amazon, eBay, or Walmart, you might come across some truly bizarre claims about the amount of “hemp” you’re buying. Hopefully you can already spot the downright insanity of claiming there’s 200,000,000 mg of hemp in a jar of gummies. “Millions of milligrams” is just a confusing way to say “kilograms,” and you better believe that no jar of hemp gummies will ever weigh 200 kg or 441 pounds. If the entire gummy was (somehow) made of hemp, and we assume a quite hefty 5 g gummy, it would take forty thousand gummies to hold that much hemp. Erik Paulson, lab manager at Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs, commented: “I think some people do recognize this issue, as you can read in some of the reviews for these products, but surely they are taking advantage of people who just aren’t thinking about it enough, or are unfamiliar with the metric system.” How much hemp can a gummy actually contain? Mike Sill, CEO of Sunday Scaries, explained: “A gummy with any gelling base, whether it be gelatin or pectin, has a threshold for how many additives it can support before it loses its ability to gel and loses its structure. […] Even if you could get a 20+ gram gummy to fit 5 grams of extract and still gel properly, it would taste like battery acid and be the size of a golf ball. In short, 1-2% of the gummy can be hemp extract without interfering with the gelling matrix (which is on the high end). 0.2% – 0.8% seems to be the norm.”
