Camino Energy Gummies UK — THCV + THC for Daytime Focus
Camino Energy gummies contain 10mg THC + 5mg THCV per piece. Unlike standard THC gummies that produce a sedative, heavy effect, the THCV component counteracts this and produces a genuinely energising, focused, and alert state. Available in Tropical Burst flavour from £35. Best taken in the morning or early afternoon.
What are Camino Energy Gummies?
Camino Energy gummies are the daytime variant in the Kiva Confections range, specifically formulated for focus, productivity, and social energy rather than relaxation. Each piece contains 10mg THC alongside 5mg THCV, tetrahydrocannabivarin, a minor cannabinoid that at low doses produces a notably different effect to standard THC alone.
The result is a cannabis edible that genuinely supports daytime use. Where most THC gummies produce a heavy, couch-locked, or sedative state, the Energy variant delivers alertness, focus, and an uplifted mood, making it the right choice for creative work, social situations, outdoor activities, or any daytime context where you want to remain productive and engaged.

What is THCV, and why does it energise?
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a naturally occurring minor cannabinoid found in cannabis. Although structurally similar to THC, THCV produces noticeably different effects, particularly at low doses. At the 5mg level used in Camino Energy gummies, THCV acts as a partial antagonist to CB1 receptors in the brain, counteracting the sedative and appetite-stimulating effects that THC typically produces.
In practice, this means the 10mg THC in the Energy variant does not produce the heavy, unfocused relaxation of a standard THC gummy. Instead, the THCV component redirects the THC effect toward alertness, motivation, and clear-headed euphoria.

How to use Camino Energy gummies
- Take in the morning or early afternoon, the energising effect is not suitable for evening use as it may make sleep more difficult. Avoid taking it within 5 hours of your intended bedtime.
- Start with half a gummy (5mg THC + 2.5mg THCV) if this is your first time with the Energy variant. Wait 60 minutes before assessing.
- Take on a light stomach for the most consistent and timely onset. An empty stomach produces a faster onset, usually 30 to 45 minutes.
- Wait 60 to 90 minutes before deciding to take more. The energising THCV effect builds gradually and peaks at 90 to 120 minutes.
- Stay hydrated, the energising and alert state produced by THCV is best supported with good hydration throughout the session.

Camino Energy vs other Camino variants
Energy vs Sleep
Opposite effects: Energy uses THCV for alertness, Sleep uses CBN for sedation. Never take both in the same session.
Energy vs Chill
Energy is for productive daytime use. Chill is for relaxed evening use. Choose based on time of day and intended activity.
Energy vs Balance
Balance (CBD + THC) produces a calm, anxiety-free effect. Energy (THCV + THC) produces an alert and motivated effect. If anxiety is a concern, Balance is the safer daytime choice.
Frequently asked questions
Does Camino Energy actually make you feel energised?
Yes, and the difference is noticeable even to experienced cannabis users. The THCV genuinely counteracts the sedative component of THC and produces a clear-headed, motivated, and uplifted state. In our testing, it was one of the two standout Camino variants alongside Sleep. Read the full Camino review for our full testing notes.
Can I take Camino Energy in the evening?
We recommend against it. The energising THCV effect can make sleep onset more difficult if taken within 5 hours of bedtime. For evening use, choose the Sleep variant or the Chill variant instead.
How long does the energy effect last?
The energising effect peaks at 90 to 120 minutes and typically lasts 3 to 5 hours at standard doses. Read our complete Kiva gummies timing guide for the full breakdown.
Is Camino Energy suitable for beginners?
At 10mg THC, it is a moderate dose. Beginners should start with half a gummy and wait 90 minutes. For an even lower starting point, PETRA mints at 2.5mg THC are the most beginner-friendly option in the Kiva range. Read the dosage guide before your first session.
