Ay Papi Tide Cannabis Infused Gummies Review

Posted on by

Ay Papi Cannabis Infused Gummies line of edibles are made with single-origin live rosin and provide the strain specific taste and experience we love.

These edibles won Gold at 2025 California State Fair and 1st Place at the 2024 Emerald Cup. They come in different flavor and effect combinations, we tried Sour Diesel version, but others include Paradise Rose and Whitethorn Rose. The Whitethorn Rose cultivar, for example crosses Paradise Punch x Lemon OG, resulting in a delightful blend of sweet, fruity, citrus, berry terpenes, complemented by earthy aromatics and a sweet umami funk. Our Sour Diesel had a pronounced rosin taste, balanced with a fruity citric acid flavor

Each gummy has 10mg of THC per serving, for a total of 100mg THC per package. They use solventless single origin live rosin to infuse the properties of specific strains.

The package is a standard plastic pouch with a ziplock closure inside.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the container is a mix of rosin and a mild fruit smell. Ay Papi gummies are made with limited vegan ingredients without artificial colors or flavors.

Unlike the Kiva Camino gummies which are smooth and see-through, these have a more of an opaque appearance and a sugar-covered texture. They are easy to bite through and chew with a pleasant mouth feel.

These gummies contain sugar, tapioca syrup, water, pectin, citric acid, sodium citrate and strain-specific cannabis extract. Since they don’t contain gelatin, they are vegan friendly which is always a cruelty-free plus.

They are gluten free, and dairy free, and nut free. The gummies are not individually wrapped and need to be cut in half for a 5mg dose or in quarters for a 2.5mg dose. They are soft and round so it is quite easy cutting them in half. They are a bit sticky from the sugar coating but still easy to portion.

As we always recommend with new edibles, try half of your usual dose before trying a full dose as you never know how strong something will effect you. The gummies are easy to cut or bite in half to give a 5mg dose of THC, then to split again for a 2.5mg dose. As everyone is different, it’s important to try a partial dose first to see how you react to new edibles.

Since I am experienced with edibles and my usual dose is 10mg of THC, I began with half of a half of one piece, with 5mg THC. After having only light effects for that trial run, I then moved closer to my usual dose on another day, taking one whole gummy for a total dose of 10mg THC. I still found the effects on the mild side, so I found that for me a 12.5 mg dose gives me a solid strength effect.

Effects

The effects were along the lines of what you’d expect from a Sativa. This is why we love strain specific edibles, as they deliver impacts close to what you would expert from the flower. As is usual with a Sativa strain like Sour Diesel, we found the effects to be energetic, creative and a little bit spacey. The impacts are perfect for being able to function well with a boost of expansion for the head. The effects I experienced were closely aligned with the effects I’ve enjoyed with Sour Diesel flower, with very little body focused effects.

While these are not super stars when it comes to flavor, the strain specific effects are what we love when we want to elevate. Ay Papi cannabis edibles do a great job with elevating and the flavor is mild and true to the strain.

Available in California.

Ript Pucked Up Peach Sour Sativa Cannabis Infused Gummies Review

Posted on by

RIPT fast-acting gummies line of edibles come in nine different flavor and effect combinations, They have both sweet and sour versions for Sativa, Indica and Hybrid, as well as three with CBD. Their CBD gummies come in formulas with CBN, CBG and CBC. For this review we’ll share our experience with Pucked Up Peach sour Sativa gummies

The big selling point for these gummies is the affordable price. We found them for 20-30% less than other gummies. In one place, where high end rosin gummies were near $20 and other gummies were $15, these sold for less than 10 dollars. Each gummy has 10mg of THC per serving, for a total of 100mg THC per package.

RIPT Pucked Up Peach

The package is a typical pouch where you pull open the top then need to pull apart the interior zip lock. Inside are the gummies and they hardly take up half of the package, not sure why there is so much extra packaging.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the container is a strong fruit smell. Ript gummies are made with citric acid and natural flavors, so you are not going to get authentic, true-to-fruit flavor. Like many gummies you get a pleasant candy-like flavor, plus they are coated in sugar so when handling them you get that finger licking thing going on.

Unlike the Kiva Camino gummies which are smooth and see-through, these have a more of a fruit chew appearance and a sugar-covered texture. They are easy to bite through, are soft and have a pleasant mouth feel.

These gummies contain Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Gelatin, Ripple (Water, Gum Arabic, Cannabanoid Extract, MCT Oil) Contains 2% or less of Natural Flavoring, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Pectin, Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, Sodium Hydrate Malate and Vegetable Juice (for color) Since they contain gelatin, they are not vegan friendly which is always a minus.

They are gluten free, and dairy free, and nut free. The gummies are not individually wrapped and need to be cut in half for a 5mg dose or in quarters for a 2.5mg dose. They are soft and round so it is quite easy cutting them in half.

As we always recommend with new edibles, try half of your usual dose before trying a full dose as you never know how strong something will effect you. The gummies are easy to cut or bite in half to give a 5mg dose of THC, then to split them in half again for a 2.5mg dose. As everyone is different, it’s important to try a partial dose first to see how you react to new edibles.

Since I am experienced with edibles and my usual dose is 10mg of THC, I began with half of one piece, with 5mg THC. After having only light effects for that trial run, I then moved closer to my usual dose on another day, taking one whole gummy for a total dose of 10mg THC. I still found the effects on the mild side, so I found that for me adding one of the quarter pieces of 2.5mg plus a 10 mg piece provided a 12.5 mg dose which gives me a solid strength effect. I sometimes use one and a one half pieces for a 15mg dose of THC when I want a much stronger effect, or if I have recently eaten, or if I’ve taken CBD, all of which can tamp down the effects for me. As always, start low and go slow.

Effects

The effects were along the lines of what you’d expect from a Sativa. Mildly uplifting, a bit energetic, creative and a little bit spacey. The impacts are fine for being able to function well with a boost of expansion for the head. The effects I experienced were closely aligned with the effects I’ve enjoyed with similar Sativa gummies, but for me I found a little more body focused effects than with most pure Sativa gummies.

Nice smell, candy like fruit flavor profiles and predictable effects are what these edibles provide when we want to elevate. Ript certainly offers an very affordable experience, and these cannabis edibles do an okay job that is easy on the wallet.

Currently available only in Colorado.

Dixie Synergy CBD:THC Balm Review

Posted on by

Dixie’s Synergy Relief Balm is infused with 50mg each of THC and CBD in the 1.7 ounce package. Its focus is on easing deep muscle aches, joint pain, and inflammation. Dixie says is is ideal for joint mobility, muscle relaxation, easing acute muscle and nerve pain.

Dosing

Since it is a balm and not divided into doses, it can be difficult to get the dose right. For example, if my usual dose is 10mg and the package contains 50mg, does that mean I need to use one fifth of the product? It has the consistency of a balm and is in a container you cannot see through, so trying to get the dose right could be a challenge. As with all edibles, tinctures, patches, creams and balms, it is best to start with a small amount.

Try a little on your skin just to see if you notice any effect and to make sure you don’t have an adverse reaction, since some folks have sensitive skin. Like all topicals, since it is absorbed through the skin and not into the bloodstream, it doesn’t produce the psychoactive effects typically associated with THC.

Dixie Balm Synergy ReliefProduct

This product is vegetarian friendly and it contains beeswax, so it may not be suitable for vegans that don’t consume honey or other animal products. It is based in infused olive oil, with other oils such as cocoa butter and castor seed oil. Along with the THC and CBD oil are various essential oils including rosemary, lavender, cedar wood, and pine. The smell is nice and mild, with the fragrances of the lavender, and other oils without any of the camphor or other strong smells in other topicals and transdermals.

While the oils make for good moisturizing, they leave the skin greasy initially. The greasy film gets absorbed eventually but it does linger for quite a while. Don’t put on any delicate fabric like silk on over this balm unless you want grease stains on your clothes. Expect to leave greasy hand prints around too, so be sure to wash your hands after you use the balm.

Effects

I tried the balm on a variety of muscle and nerve pain points. I found it to be effective when used on specific types of pain, such as nerve pain in my feet and muscle pain in my leg. I found it less effective treating joint pain or anything deeper than surface muscle and nerve pain. It’s hard for a topical to penetrate deep into joints from the skin and I didn’t find it effective for that type of pain. While I wasn’t able to dispense the product in any type of consistent dose, I found that using a generous amount was needed to get the desired effects. Just using a little produced no effects for me.

The product can get hard in cold weather, but I found it quite pliable at normal room temperature. I found that 2 or 3 pea-sized portions dug out by my finger was the amount I needed to cover the back of my hand or the top of my foot.

The Synergy Relief balm is a good choice to try if you are looking for a topical rich in natural oils that can address muscle or nerve pain. While it does not work on all types of pain and does come with the greasiness, I found it effective for treating minor aches and pains.

Currently available in California, Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, and Maryland.

Super CBD Blueberry Chill Pills Review

Posted on by

Super CBD Blueberry Chill Pills were very highly recommended to me by my favorite budtender with the day-glo yellow hair. She warned me that they were very strong and to take a smaller dose than usual. Super CBD blueberry chill pills have more THC than CBD so they will give you a decent buzz.

However, the taste was so nasty and medicinal that I almost spit it out. I couldn’t find any blueberry flavor whatsoever, it was like sucking on a NYQUIL lozenge for 5 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend this product because of its taste alone. It’s discreet and compact. Yes, it’s strong, but it tastes repulsive.

After an hour and fifteen minutes I was able to feel a calm, full body buzz. It was strong and I was very happy that I listened to my budtender regarding a smaller dose.

As far as pain management, I felt significant relief for the bruises on my leg from falling down (not so eloquently) and complete relief of a wrist burn from making tea. I was feeling achy and sore. The pain disappeared for several hours.

The taste isn’t great, it is sort of like eating cannabis shatter or oil. The slight berry taste just doesn’t compete well with the strong cannabis oil taste.  They are meant primarily for medical use more than getting a buzz.

Chill pills come in medical and recreational versions. Both have 10mg of THC from a hybrid strain. The medical version has 10mg of CBD in each pill, the recreational/adult use version has 5mg of CBD. They are part of a line of chill pills from The Growing Kitchen .

I tried mine at the end of a day working in the garden, feel pretty sore and wanting to chill out. Within 90 minutes my muscle soreness was significantly reduced. I felt relaxed but very able to function. There was no couch-lock or heavy head effect, just a nice anti-stress and pain relief effect. Just the kind of chill out experience I was hoping for. After eating the effects were reduced and after about 3 hours I was feeling a little tired, likely a combination of just being tired plus the relaxing effects of the THC and CBD.

I was not put off by the less-than pleasant taste and if you are looking for a solid medicinal effect, this can be a great choice. As always, start with a low dose – these are potent!

Growing Kitchen Heavenly Honey Lemon Indica Cannabis Chill Pills Review

Posted on by

When enjoying cannabis on the go, I look for a discrete and compact suckers. Something small that has a kick. I want something that I can shove in my purse that won’t spill or make a mess. I’ve found it’s easiest to carry suckers.

I have two favorite kind: Zoots Rocks and The Growing Kitchen-Honey Lemon Chill Pills.

growing kitchen honey lemon chill pills cannabis infused Indica

I prefer Indica edibles. Chill Pills come in a delicious Honey Lemon in Indica. It’s in a flat, cardboard container that encompasses a blister pack of suckers. After futzing around with the child protection, I started enjoying Chill Pills.

Each 10mg dose is approximately one third the size of a traditional gum drop. The great tasting Indica candy is a clear yellow. Growing Kitchen uses local honey and you can really taste the quality. I couldn’t detect a medicinal flavor at all. It has a light, lemon tea taste that I really enjoyed. (Some edible companies are solely focused on the effects, leaving flavors that are undesirable.)

After an hour and ten minutes, I started to feel the effects ramp up. I was beginning to relax; tension was evaporating. I was slowing down physically and finding my spot on the couch.

Chill Pills gave me dry mouth and a small case of the munchies. So be forewarned, have your favorite, healthy drinks and snacks on hand.

With the buzz from Chill Pills, I experienced a ringing in my ears and a slight body high. A tingling sensation would come and go. My muscles relaxed. My mood elevated. The high lasted two and a half hours. It probably would’ve lasted longer if I didn’t eat during the munchies.

This edible tastes delicious and has superior calming effects. Chill Pills come in a variety of flavors: Heavenly Honey Lemon (Indica), Sublime Spearmint (Sativa) and Super CBD Blueberry. I have found their CBD is moderately helpful with joint discomfort. Chill Pills ingredients are organic, dairy free, wheat free and gluten free.

For the taste, the discretion and the effects, Growing Kitchen Chill Pills are a must have edible.

Half Lit Moonlits Cannabis-infused Suckers & Lollipops Review

Posted on by

Half Lit is a line of cannabis-infused hard candies and lollipops. The lollipop includes a seed in the stick that you can plant to grow cannabis if you are so inclined. All of the products are Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free, and Artificial Dye-Free. They do not indicate the type or strain of cannabis used to make the candies.

Half Lit Moonlit box and candy

Flavor

I tried the purple colored Moonlit hard candy. It tasted sweet but with no other particular flavor – I was expecting grape or something to match the color. Instead they taste like sugar water, which is a missed opportunity. Who doesn’t want some delicious flavor with their edible? The package lists the flavors as Watermelon Wonderland, Lit Lemonade, Lunar Lavender, Calming Caramel Açaí, Pineapple Paradise, and Hot Mama Mango. I still have no idea what flavor I had.

Half Lit Open Box

Dosage

As with all new edibles, I like to start with half of my usual does of 10mg. You never know how potent an edible will be. When edibles like these don’t indicate what strain is used or even if the cannabis used was Sativa or Indica, you might be hoping for an uplift and creativity but you get couch-lock or fall asleep. That is why I always prefer to know either the type or strain of cannabis in my edibles. Since it is very difficult to cut hard candies in half, I just waited until about half it had dissolved, then put the rest in a small glass dish. I would recommend doing the same with the lollipop if it’s your first time trying it.

Half Lit Lavendar Lollipop

I had no noticeably different effects than I would expect from a mild edible made with hybrid strains. I experienced no creative uplift or relaxation or euphoria. It was pretty “m’eh”.

While the seed in the stick is a novelty, it isn’t compelling enough to persuade me to buy this edible over others. I may try other flavors as perhaps I just got a flavor that doesn’t come through well. My experience of no great effects and no exciting taste makes this something I can’t really recommend.
