Cannabis terminology can be … a lot. Here’s a quick reference guide to commonly used words and phrases—just so we’re all speaking in the same language. Because the more you know, the more power you have to find the experience you’re after, every time.

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
THC is the ingredient that does the heavy lifting. It’s what actually makes you feel high, thanks to how it interacts with your brain’s CB1 receptors.
Wyld uses 2 different types of THC: cannabis-derived THC and hemp delta-9 THC. They’re the exact same chemical with the same effects—the first is just derived from the cannabis plant, while the second comes from its close cousin hemp.
They do have different legal statuses, though—cannabis THC edibles are only legal in recreational states, while hemp delta-9 THC gummies (sold on this site) are federally legal nationwide. Heads up—THC is intoxicating at higher doses, so start low and slow.
CBD (Cannabidiol)
A dose of calm and comfort, CBD is one the most abundant cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Many people enjoy CBD as part of a routine that supports relaxation and post-activity recovery. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating—making Wyld’s CBD edibles and drinks a great entry point for the cannabis curious.
CBG (Cannabigerol)
Focus found. CBG lovers describe its non-intoxicating effect as calm and alert. CBG is often referred to as the ‘mother cannabinoid’ because it is the chemical precursor from which other cannabinoids—such as THC, CBD, CBC, and CBN—form as the plant matures. Most CBG edibles combine it with CBD, creating a balanced feeling that many find to support mental clarity, mood, and overall wellness.
CBN (Cannabinol)
A great sidekick to your nightly routine, CBN is one of the most popular minor cannabinoids because of its mildly sedative quality—which may support natural, restful sleep. You’ll find CBN in Wyld’s Relaxing Collection of gummies, where it’s commonly combined with THC or CBD for an even more enhanced mellow.
CBC (Cannabichromene)
Meet the mood elevator. CBC is a non-intoxicating minor cannabinoid that works in the brain to enhance natural levels of the “bliss molecule,” AKA anandamide. People often report an uplift in their outlook and a subtle dose of energy when enjoying CBC gummies.
THCv (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
An energy boost, with a unique twist. THCv is a minor cannabinoid celebrated for the boost of focused energy it brings. In THCv gummies where it’s paired with THC, it can also help balance out the typical THC high, making it perfect for activity and focus.
Terpenes
Think of terpenes as the personality of the plant. These compounds decide how it smells, how it tastes—and with cannabis, they’re a big part of why different strains make you feel different ways.
Wyld uses 3 different blends of botanical terpenes: 'Uplifting' like a Sativa profile, 'Relaxing' like Indica, or 'Balanced' like a Hybrid of the two. Since a lot of a strain’s personality gets cooked off during THC oil extraction, we add those terpene blends back in so that each gummy does what you want it to, every time. It’s all based on the idea that cannabinoids and terpenes work better together than on their own—a.k.a. the entourage effect.
Sativa-enhanced
Gummies enhanced with the energetic Sativa strain of cannabis are great for group hangs, creative projects, or any upbeat plan that sounds better with a little extra sparkle. Found in our Uplifting Collection, Wyld’s Sativa gummies are powered by a uniquely refreshing terpene blend: limonene for a brighter mood; alpha- and beta-pinene for clear, energized calm—and valencene to keep you feeling focused and upbeat.
Indica-enhanced
Indica-style gummies are all about unwinding and getting great rest. Found in our Relaxing Collection, Wyld’s Indica-enhanced edibles come with our signature mellow terpene blend: Linalool brings that quiet, cozy calm; caryophyllene and myrcene help your body relax and loosen up; and terpineol layers on that soft, sleepy comfort. Think of them as your evening ritual: perfect for putting your feet up, shutting out the noise, and easing into a restful, restorative vibe.
Hybrid-enhanced
The sweet spot between mellow and mentally awake, Hybrid gummies are found in Wyld’s Balanced Collection. They’re made with a fine-tuned blend of both Sativa and Indica terpenes, including limonene for a bright, easy mood; pinenes for a light, focused energy; and linalool to relax your body.
Delta-9 THC
The ingredient that does the heavy lifting, Delta-9 THC is what actually makes you feel high, thanks to how it interacts with your brain’s CB1 receptors.
Delta-9 THC is THC that can be extracted from either the hemp or cannabis plant. The THC is exactly the same, with the same effects.
Wyld uses both types of THC: cannabis-derived THC and hemp-derived THC. Each version has a different legal status—cannabis THC edibles are only legal in recreational states, while hemp delta-9 THC gummies are federally legal nationwide and able to ship to your doorstep.
Wyld currently ships hemp D9 gummies and sparkling waters to these regions: AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, HI, IN, IA, KS, KY, ME, MN, MS, MT, NE, NH, NC, ND, PA, RI, SC, SD, TX, WV, WI, WY.
Cannabis
Cannabis is what people really mean when they say “weed.” It’s the proper name of the THC-rich plant that Wyld transforms into the infused gummies you can only buy at dispensaries in legal-use states. This is not to be confused with hemp delta-9 THC, which is derived from the cannabis plant’s close cousin, hemp. Cannabis is tightly regulated by state cannabis commissions, so it can’t be mailed across state lines.
Wyld cannabis edibles are currently available in: AZ, CA, CO, IL, MA, MD, MI, MO, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, WA, and across Canada.
Low Dose
Because sometimes a little is just enough. Wyld’s low-dose THC gummies and drinks are the gentle ones: this means 1–2mg of THC per gummy or can, instead of the standard 10mg like in our other THC products. Our low-dose products are often crafted with other minor cannabinoids like CBD or CBN, so you can shape your experience exactly how you want.
Hemp
Hemp is a kind of cannabis, too. It’s just the low-THC branch of the family—defined as only 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp federally legal, treating it differently than the higher-THC type of cannabis known as “weed.” That’s why Wyld’s hemp gummies and sparkling waters can ship all over the country, while our non-hemp-derived THC products are only available at dispensaries in legal-use states.
Ratio
Ratios are the recipe behind the feeling. Wyld uses easy-to-understand numbers to show how much of each cannabinoid is in the mix—that way you know what kind of effect to expect. For example, “1:1” means equal parts of 2 cannabinoids, like CBD and THC, while “2:1” means twice as much of the first cannabinoid listed, “1:1:1” shows that there are equal parts of 3 cannabinoids, and so on. Reading the ratio helps you choose your vibe—more energy, more chill, more balance, or more focus.
COA (Certificate of Analysis)
Think of a COA, or Certificate of Analysis, as a product’s report card. It’s the lab report that shows that a product is safe, accurate, and compliant. At Wyld, every cannabis and hemp gummy and drink comes with a COA from an independent lab. It lists the cannabinoid amounts, checks for unwanted stuff, and includes batch details. You can pull up the COA for your batch right on our website or with the QR code on the package.
All Wyld Hemp COAs (Delta-9 & CBD) are accessible online. Wyld Cannabis COAs are available online for NY & AZ, otherwise, you will need to reach out to our customer service team for a state specific cannabis COA.
Wyld Works
Wyld Works is our corporate social responsibility program—it’s basically Wyld’s way of putting what we believe in into action. We focus on 4 areas, which we refer to as our Pillars of Commitment: Environmental Sustainability, where we partner with organizations that protect natural ecosystems. Health & Wellness, where we do things like help fight food insecurity. Social & Racial Justice, where we work with partners on immigration advocacy, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, and legislation action. And Combating the Failed War on Drugs, where we fund expungements for non-violent cannabis crimes and promote responsible legislation.
Full Spectrum
Full-spectrum is a way of describing extracts that keep the whole plant profile intact—not just one or two isolated pieces. This means a collaborative ensemble of cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and minor compounds (like CBN and CBC).
Broad Spectrum
Think of broad spectrum as “full plant minus THC.” Broad-spectrum extracts keep multiple cannabinoids (like CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC) and terpenes—plus other beneficial plant compounds—in play so they can all work together like they were meant to (that’s what’s known as the entourage effect). However, this blend contains no THC at all. It’s a great option if you want plant-powered support without the intoxicating effects of THC. Check out our CBD-Only Collection for broad spectrum edibles.
Cannabinoids
Meet the cannabis plant’s active ingredients. From THC and CBD to CBN and CBC, cannabinoids are the compounds that create different feelings. They do this by latching onto receptors already in your body, and they can produce everything from an uplifting euphoria to relaxation and better sleep.
THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid, CBD is non-intoxicating but very supportive, CBN is often linked with rest, CBC has potential mood benefits, and CBG can help you focus. When you enjoy cannabinoid gummies, you’re essentially letting these compounds work together to support your mood, body, and day.
Marijuana
“Marijuana” technically refers to the same plant we now call cannabis, but the word itself isn’t neutral. In the U.S., it was deliberately popularized to fuel racist, anti-Mexican attitudes and to help justify criminalizing the plant. Because of that history, you’ll see Wyld use the word cannabis—not marijuana—in our language.
The Entourage Effect
The cannabis version of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” The entourage effect is what happens when cannabinoids like CBD, THC, CBC, and CBN team up with terpenes and other naturally occurring plant compounds to create a stronger, more balanced experience than any single compound could on its own. When these pieces work together, they can boost absorption, heighten effectiveness, and support overall wellness.
Gluten Free
Our products and processes are technically gluten-free. However, we cannot provide documentation that ensures the ingredients we receive from our vendors are processed in a gluten-free facility.
Vegan
Wyld Hemp gummies are offered in 2 varieties; one vegan and one made with porcine gelatin.
Both our CBD-Only gummies and Low Dose 2mg THC gummies are vegan-friendly, made with pectin instead of gelatin.
Our standard dose Wyld Hemp 10mg THC line is not vegan and is made with gelatin.
