This Summer, Which THC Gummy Flavors Should You Try?
Summer calls for some refreshment that can be soothing enough for the body and mind. The transitional period between winter and summer demands a change in lifestyle and food habits. After a chilling winter, the sudden variation in temperature becomes difficult for people to adapt to the new weather.
During summer, due to extreme sweat among some people, the human body undergoes the problem of dehydration. Dehydration, in turn, leads to dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. In such cases, foods with high water content stand fruitful in maintaining the body’s average temperature. Experts suggest the intake of foods that are low in calories and are rich in antioxidants.
Numerous brands these days market Oral Rehydration Solutions claiming that they contain essential vitamins and nutrients that seek to maintain the body’s pH levels and regulate temperature. Doctors also suggest Vitamin C supplements to prevent damage from extensive sun exposure.
In addition, the use of refreshment drinks, peppermint chewing gums, and chilled mocktails are in demand these days to beat the heat instantly. People prefer to consume products that may provide a cooling sensation and a sudden energy boost. In this context, the use of THC Gummies emerges as studies show they may function in reducing the physical and mental irritation that follows extreme heatwaves by inducing a natural coolness to the body.
Why Are THC Gummies On Trend?
As an on-the-go solution, gummies are the new day solutions. From boosting energy levels to increasing appetite, Cannabis edibles are hassle-free to consume. Its delicious taste has generated a craze among all age groups. The unique selling point of these gummies lies in their organic composition. While talking about herbal gummies, one factor becomes essential- the price point and availability become an issue. THC Gummies attract consumers for their action on the neural receptors of the consumer.
Can They Help In Cooling Down The Temperature Of The Human Body During Summer?
Though earlier people used to associate them with making an individual high, recent studies indicate that they may outdo themselves in their act of cooling down the body’s temperature. In a study with albino mice, experts used intrahypothalamic injections containing Tetrahydrocannabinol to study the effect of THC in altering the temperature of the animal body.
Experts used the injections at regular intervals on the anterior hypothalamus to check the oxygen production. As we know, oxygen production is vital to the body’s metabolism. An increase in metabolic rate increases energy production, thereby raising the temperature. Experts supposed that THC-infused edibles might help limit excess oxygen production and help maintain a balance between metabolic rate and blood circulation.
THC is a cannabinoid found in Cannabis. Studies show that as a Cannabinoid, THC interacts with the endocannabinoid system and influences the Vanilloid receptors. Vanilloid receptors are responsible for sending back the sensations of pain and heat. Under the influence of THC, these receptors may slow down the ability to sense. As a result, the feeling of extreme heat gets delayed. Tetrahydrocannabinol triggers the cooling sensation by restricting the function of TRPV1 receptors.
Flavors You Should Try This Summer.
The contemporary world puts forward the concept of customization. It means that customers are selective in purchasing their products. THC Gummies offer multiple options to choose from a pile. But the point of confusion is which flavor can serve a better function in providing refreshments during summer. The summer season is when people prefer the intake of fruity flavors, whether in mocktails or milkshakes. The reason being they are light and suitable to try.
Customer survey reports claim that youth demand for peppermints and tropical oranges is high. The craze for lemon, strawberry, watermelon, and raspberry is common among middle-aged people. The flavors that the brand uses are naturally derived. They contain fruit extracts and no artificial colors. Thus apart from taste, it also offers nutritional benefits. Let us dig into the numerous flavors that the brand manufactures.
- Peppermints
Mint flavors have always been the most preferred flavor in summer. Mint leaf extracts come to the rescue to induce a cooling sensation instantly. They are great as immunity boosters and prevent one from viral infections due to weather fluctuations. Peppermint THC Gummies provide fresh breath. They also relieve an individual from sweat rashes and etching, scars, and blemishes due to clogged pores during summer. They promote oxygen circulation and blow flow, promoting a bearable body temperature.
- Lemonade
Lemon is a natural source of antioxidants, fiber, and Vitamin c. The consumption of citrus fiber may help with high cholesterol levels. Lemons are great detaining agents. Studies show they brighten skin, provide intense hydration, and control extreme sweating and body odor. Lemon is fruitful in detoxifying the body and thus maintains ph levels. Gummies in lemonade variants can provide instant refreshment by relieving the body from toxins.
- Watermelon
People hardly know that watermelon may fight cancerous cells. As they have a rich content of Vitamin A, C, B, lycopene, and carotene, they function in preventing cell damage. This nutrient actively participates in the renewal of cells and dead cell removal. The freshness that watermelon gummies provide remains unmatched by other flavors like raspberry and strawberry.
- Tropical orange
During summer, people from hot and humid countries sweat a lot. Extreme sweat causes huge potassium loss in the body. As a result, people feel tired and lazy. Oranges are a rich source of potassium. Experts claim oranges contain 75 per cent of the water that instantly cools and nourishes the body. Orange flavored gummies are popular among many people.
Conclusion
Summer freshness associates itself with a light breeze and the blossoming of juicy fruits. In temperate zones, it is an appropriate time to relax. But in tropical weather, it becomes unbearable. As we all know, the earth is witnessing a steady rise in daily average temperature.
To get rid of this extreme summer heat, people these days depend on refrigerants, air coolers, and air conditioners. Greenhouses gases that generate out of cooling agents thereby contribute to global warming. But they are not a healthy way to save ourselves from heat. The harmful carbon monoxide radicals that float around the atmosphere impact our health.
As we breathe, they get trapped in the lungs. Sun exposure causes skin allergies, rashes, and redness. Extreme loss of salt from the body lowers energy levels. In a nutshell, tetrahydrocannabinol-infused gummies may function in helping with the adverse effects of heat on the body. We may incorporate THC Gummies in our diet in general as they can have long-term benefits.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to order a probe into the alleged diversion, disappearance and misapplication of more than N6.79 billion in public funds within the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Federal Ministry of Police Affairs.
The grave allegations are documented in the latest Annual Report of the Auditor-General of the Federation published on September 9, 2025.
SERAP said, “Anyone suspected to be responsible—including contractors, companies and public officials implicated in the report—should be promptly prosecuted, while all missing public funds, firearms and ammunition should be fully recovered, secured and properly accounted for.”
In the letter dated August 1, 2026, and signed by SERAP deputy director, Mr Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said: “The Auditor-General’s findings suggest a grave betrayal of the public trust and raise serious concerns about corruption and the management of public funds, police exhibits, firearms and ammunition.”
SERAP said: “The report also raises serious concerns over missing firearms and ammunition, the unauthorised use and release of police exhibits, failures to properly account for exhibits, and the insecure storage of firearms, creating significant risks to public safety and national security.”
According to the group, “The diversion of funds meant for policing, abandoned security projects, missing firearms and ammunition, and the misuse of police exhibits undermine the operational effectiveness of the Nigeria Police Force, weaken public confidence and may contribute to Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.”

“The report also documented unretired cash advances, unsettled insurance claims, payments for services allegedly not rendered, and other suspected diversion and misapplication of public funds amounting to over ₦6.79 billion.”
“The allegations also include missing firearms and ammunition, the unauthorised use and release of police exhibits, failures to properly account for recovered firearms and other exhibits, and the insecure storage of firearms, posing serious risks to public safety and national security.”
“We would be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within seven days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall consider appropriate legal action to compel your government to comply with our request in the public interest.”

A former member of the House of Representatives, Mr Onamusi Onadeko, has been sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment with an option of a fine of N50,000.
The former lawmaker, who represented Ogun East Federal Constituency in the National Assembly from 1999 to 2003, was sentenced by Justice Chizoba Oji of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja on Thursday, July 30, 2026.
He was found guilty on count 11 and convicted for making inconsistent statements but discharged and acquitted on counts 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Mr Onadeko’s journey to the court started in 2017, when he was charged by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for his alleged involvement in the award and execution of a N68.7 million contract.
The politician, according to a statement from the ICPC, was accused of using his private companies, Stanton Engineering Limited and Haines and Baines Limited, to execute several constituency projects while working as a Senior Legislative Aide to late Senator Buruji Kashamu, who represented Ogun East Senatorial District between 2015 and 2019.
The commission, had in the course of the eight years trial told the court that several contracts like buying of ambulance vehicles, supply of hospital equipment and drugs for Primary Health Centres, as well as construction of classrooms for some selected schools in six communities of Ogun East Senatorial District, were awarded to both Stanton Engineering Limited and Haines and Baines, where the convict doubles as a Managing Director and nominal Director, respectively, an action that violates Sections 12 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.
ICPC also accused Mr Onadeko of making an inconsistent statement that contradicted the one previously made to the Commissioner for Oaths, where he stated that he is a Director of Haines and Baines Limited in an affidavit dated June 30, 20216, but subsequently wrote another statement while under investigation on May 5, 2017, that he is not a shareholder or Director of Haines and Baines Limited.
This action violates Section 25(1)(b) of the ICPC Act and, upon conviction, is liable to a fine not exceeding N100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both such fine and imprisonment.
However, Mr Onadeko, through his counsel, Mr Wahab Olatoyebi, argued in the course of the trial that his client was not a public officer as his appointment at that material time was on a short-term basis and non-pensionable, hence he, (Onadeko) did not fall within the category of those that could be tried under Sections 12 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 which criminalize and punish abuse of office by public officers.
But this argument was rejected by Justice Oji, who stressed that based on the defendant’s letter of appointment as well as the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Federal Government of Nigeria v. Farouk Lawan, legislative aides are public officers and therefore could be prosecuted under the relevant provisions of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.

The Governor of Oyo State, Mr Seyi Makinde, has inaugurated a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate the abduction of students and teachers from Esinele and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The governor formally inaugurated the commission at the Executive Council Chamber of the Governor’s Office, Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.
Speaking at the event, Governor Makinde said that although the successful rescue of the victims brought relief to the state, it did not provide complete closure.
He explained that the decision to set up an independent commission was not intended to undermine the efforts of security agencies but to ensure that every question surrounding the incident is thoroughly addressed and lessons are learnt to prevent a recurrence.
He charged members of the commission to conduct a thorough, impartial, and evidence-based investigation, assuring them of the state government’s full support. He also called on individuals and relevant institutions to cooperate fully with the panel.
Speaking on behalf of the commission, its chairman, Professor Mojeed Owoade, pledged that members would carry out the assignment with integrity, professionalism, and fairness. He added that the panel would seek an extension if necessary to complete its work.
Governor Makinde gave the commission four weeks to submit its report.
Earlier this month, the pupils and teachers abducted in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State regained their freedom after 56 days in captivity.
According to the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, eight of the kidnappers had been arrested, but the Federal High Court in Abuja on July 23 sentenced three suspects in the abduction to life imprisonment.
According to the court, the sentencing of Mr Abdulrazak Umar, known under the alias Abu Khalifa/Abu Khalid; Mr Yunusa Musa, alias Yunusa Bin Musa; and Mr Shamsu Adamu Sani, alias Abu Itisar, will start from the date of their arrest.
Before their sentencing by Justice Salim Ibrahim, counsel for the defendants pleaded with the court to sentence them on liberal terms, adding that they were first-time offenders and had pleaded guilty.
