Terpene Chews vs THC Gummies

These two products can look similar on a shelf, but they are fundamentally different. If you are weighing a terpene chew against a THC gummy, here is a clear, honest comparison.

What is in them

THC gummies contain the cannabinoid THC and are designed to be intoxicating. Terpene chews, like MONDAYS, contain terpenes, the aroma and flavor compounds of cannabis, and zero THC and zero CBD. One is built around a drug; the other is built around flavor.

The experience

A THC gummy produces a high that can last hours and impairs you while it does. A terpene chew is a flavor experience. It captures the taste and aroma of a strain with no high and no impairment, so it fits into any part of your day, including the parts where being impaired is not an option.

The legal and practical side

THC products are heavily regulated, restricted or banned in many states, age-gated, and cannot be taken across many borders or into many workplaces. Because terpene chews contain no THC, they sidestep that entirely. They are, in the simplest terms, candy. Our botanical line goes a step further and contains no hemp at all.

Which is for you

If you want to get high, that is a THC product. If you love the flavors and culture of cannabis strains but want zero THC and zero impairment, that is exactly what a terpene chew is for. Many people use them precisely where a THC edible would not fit. See the full category in terpene edibles, or explore our Terpene Library.

Frequently asked questions

Are terpene chews weaker than THC gummies?

They are not a weaker version of the same thing; they are a different thing. A terpene chew is not trying to get you high at all, so it is not measured on that scale. It is about flavor and strain character.

Can I take a terpene chew anywhere?

Because MONDAYS chews contain no THC, they are candy. As always, use your own judgment, but they do not carry the restrictions THC products do.

Do terpene chews taste like the strain?

Yes, that is the entire point. The terpene profile captures the strain's character, paired with a complementary candy flavor.
