Consumers are more curious than ever about cannabinoids, and one of the most common questions we hear is: "Are hemp gummies the same as CBD gummies?" The short answer? Not even close — but marketing can make it confusing.

If you've browsed Amazon or grocery stores lately, you've likely seen hemp gummies advertised with big promises… yet many of these products don’t contain any actual CBD.

This guide breaks down the real differences between hemp and CBD gummies, clears up common misconceptions, and helps you understand what you're really buying.

What Are CBD Gummies?

CBD gummies are infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound extracted from the flowers of the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD won’t get you high — but many users report it helps them feel calm, relaxed, or better rested.

At Steve’s Goods, our CBD gummies use full-spectrum or THC-free distillate, made with clean extraction and third-party lab testing. Whether you’re looking for support with sleep, stress, or daily wellness, CBD gummies offer a convenient and enjoyable way to incorporate hemp into your routine.

What Are Hemp Gummies?

Hemp gummies are made with hemp seed oil, which comes from the seeds of the hemp plant. While these gummies may contain healthy fats, omega-3s, and vitamin E, they contain zero CBD.

This makes hemp gummies more like a nutritional supplement — not a cannabinoid product. They're sometimes advertised in ways that confuse consumers, especially on marketplaces that restrict CBD (like Amazon).

Pro tip: If a product says “hemp extract” but doesn’t list milligrams of CBD per serving, it’s likely just hemp seed oil.

Which One Should You Choose?

Buyer Beware: Misleading Marketing

Many consumers buy hemp gummies online thinking they’re getting CBD — especially on platforms like Amazon, where CBD is banned.

Here’s how to tell if you’re getting real CBD:

• Look for the milligrams of CBD per gummy or per serving

• Confirm the product uses CBD oil, distillate, or isolate

• Ask for COAs (Certificates of Analysis) — legit CBD brands post them publicly

• Avoid brands that rely on vague phrases like “hemp complex” or “advanced hemp blend”

FAQs

Do CBD gummies cause weight gain?

There’s no evidence that CBD causes weight gain. Some studies suggest it may support metabolism, appetite regulation, and inflammation control — but it's not a magic bullet. As always, pair with a healthy lifestyle.

Will hemp or CBD gummies show up on a drug test?

• Hemp gummies: ❌ No (no cannabinoids)

• CBD gummies: ⚠️ Possibly (if full-spectrum and contains trace THC). For guaranteed clean results, choose THC-free CBD gummies, like those from Steve’s Goods.
