Delta 9 gummy bear is an edible product containing THC. Like any food or supplement, these gummies can expire over time. People often choose gummies because they’re easy to use and provide long-lasting effects. The THC in these gummies can cause relaxation, changes in mood, and altered perceptions. However, they also carry risks and potential side effects. Throwing away expired Delta 9 gummies carelessly can lead to problems. If someone finds and eats them by mistake, it could make them sick or cause unwanted effects. Also, if the gummies end up in nature, they might harm animals or pollute the soil and water.
Check the expiration date
First, make sure your Delta 9 gummies are expired. Look for the “best by” or expiration date on the package. If you can’t find a date or the gummies look or smell odd, it’s better to be safe and eliminate them.
Don’t flush or pour down the drain
Never flush Delta 9 gummies down the toilet or pour them down a sink. This is also bad for your house’s pipes.
Keep away from kids and pets
Store them safely while you’re getting ready to dispose of the gummies. Put them high up or in a locked cabinet where children and pets can’t reach them.
Destroy the gummies
Before throwing the gummies away, make them less appealing to eat.
- Crushing them up
- Mixing them with something gross like used coffee grounds or cat litter
- Adding a little water to make them mushy
This step helps prevent anyone or anything from eating the gummies if they find them in the trash.
Use a Sealed Container
Put the crushed-up gummies in a container that seals tightly. An empty jar or plastic container with a lid works well. This keeps the gummies from spilling out in the trash.
Throw away safely
Once the gummies are in a sealed container, you can put them in your regular household trash. Ensure the lid is tight, and place the container in a trash bag with other garbage. This makes it less likely that someone will find and open the container.
Consider a take-back program
In some areas have special programs for eliminating unused medicines and similar products. You can check with your local pharmacy or police station to see if they have a take-back program. They can safely dispose of your expired Delta 9 gummies.
Don’t compost
Even though gummies are food-like, could you not put them in your compost bin? The THC in Delta 9 gummies can affect the good bacteria that help break down compost and attract animals to your compost pile.
Wash your hands
After handling expired Delta 9 gummies, wash your hands well with soap and water.
Keep a private note
It’s a good idea to keep a private note about when and how you disposed of the gummies. This can be helpful if you ever need to remember what you did with them.
