Wally Drops Watermelon Cannabis Infused Hard Candy Review

Posted on by

Wally Drops Cannabis Infused hard candy line of edibles come in eleven different flavor combinations. They all seem to be made with a hybrid mix of cannabis, with no indication of Sativa, Indica or any strain names. These are some of the most Jolly Rancher tasting gummies we’ve tried.

There are some with just THC, some with just CBD and some flavors with THC and CBD. Each candy has 10mg of THC per serving, for a total of 100mg THC per package.

The package is a child proof resealable pouch that can be difficult to open if you have limited hand strength or flexibility.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the container is a strong supercharged fruit smell. Wally Drops hard candies are made with sugar, corn syrup, water, coconut oil, and THC. For some reason they don’t mention what is used to flavor the candies, but I’m guessing it is artificial flavor based on the taste. Of the edibles we’ve tried, this is the closest one has come to tasting like the strong flavors of a Jolly Rancher candy.

They are hard candies, so not easy to bite through but they do eventually melt in the mouth.

They don’t contain gelatin or other animal products, so it seems they are vegan friendly which is always a cruelty free plus.

They are gluten free, and dairy free, but they do contain coconut so not totally 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 hard so it is not 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. As everyone is different, it’s important to try a partial dose first to see how you react to new edibles. Not easy with such a hard candy.

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 which was fine.

Effects

The effects were along the lines of what you’d expect from a dominant Sativa strain with an uplifting and happy effect. Since hybrid formulas can vary widely, you may get different effects with different batches, which is a drawback.

Good Tide Cannabis Infused Gummies Review

Posted on by

Good Tide Cannabis Infused Gummies line of edibles come in three different flavor and effect combinations, Uplifting Pineapple, Balanced Guava and Mango Mellow. These are some of the best tasting gummies we’ve tried.

Each gummy has 10mg of THC per serving, for a total of 100mg THC per package. These gummies are formulated with botanical terpenes to help create more specific effects. They use solventless hash rosin to infuse the properties of specific strains. The Sativa we tried was made with Super Lemon Haze rosin, for example.

Good Tide Gummies options

The package is a cylinder that is fully compostable and recyclable. There is a button you push in to separate th top from the bottom of the packaging. Inside are the gummies and they hardly take up half of the package, not sure why there is so much extra packaging. Not too much pressure needed to open it, which is a blessing for folks with limited hand strength or arthritis.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the container is a strong real fruit smell. Good Tide gummies are made with real fruit ingredients and natural flavors for authentic, true-to-fruit flavor. With so many gummies having candy-like unnatural or artificial flavors, these are are a nice change to taste like the actual fruit. Of the edibles we’ve tried, this is the closest one has come to tasting like you are biting a piece of actual fruit.

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

These gummies contain Sugar, Tapioca Syrup, Water, Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavoring, Pectin (Pectin, Sodium Citrate), Coconut Oil, Cannabis Extract, Citric Acid, Mallic Acid, Carnauba Wax, and Sunflower Lecithin. Since they don’t contain gelatin, they are vegan friendly which is always a cruelty free plus.

They are gluten free, and dairy free, but they do contain coconut so not totally 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 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. I sometimes use one and a one eighth pieces for a 12.5mg dose of THC when I want a stronger effect, or if I have recently eaten or if I’ve taken CBD, which can tamp down the effects.

Effects

The effects were along the lines of what you’d expect from a Sativa strain like Super Lemon Haze. Uplifting, 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 similar Sativa gummies, with very little body focused effects.

Excellent real-fruit forward flavor profiles and specific effects are what good edibles are meant to provide when we want to elevate. Good Tides cannabis edibles do a great job on both counts and set a high standard when it comes to natural flavors.

Good Tide is a Climate Neutral Certified company.

Available in California, Colorado and Oregon.

Wyld Cannabis Infused Indica Sour Cherry Gummies Review

Posted on by

Wyld Cannabis Infused Gummies line of edibles are cannabis gummies that come in ten different flavor and effect combinations. The line comes in nine flavors of gummies , each featuring a specific type of cannabis – Sativa, Indica or Hybrid. Some are formulated with CBD, CBN, or CBG.

Each Sour Cherry Indica gummy has 10mg of THC and <2mg of CBD per serving, for a total of 100mg THC and <2mg of CBD per package. These gummies are not just infused with the usual distilled THC but are formulated with botanical terpenes to help create more specific effects.

The terpenes in the Indica Sour Cherry are myrcene, linalool, beta-caryophyllene, and terpineol. We like that they list the terpenes on their website for each product.

WYLD Sour Cherry Gummies Indica box

The package is an unusual shape, almost an origami-type of a box with three lids folding down on each other. You have to get your nail or finger underneath one of the flaps to open the exterior box. Inside is a plastic container with a tape across the opening so you know they haven’t been opened. It’s the type of child proof container where you squeeze the sides to pop open the lid. Not too much pressure needed to open it, which is a blessing for folks with limited hand strength or arthritis.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the container is primarily a strong real fruit smell. Wyld gummies are made with real fruit ingredients and natural flavors for authentic, true-to-fruit flavor. With so many gummies having candy-like unnatural or artificial flavors, these are are a nice change to taste like the actual fruit.

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

These gummies contain Sugar, Tapioca Syrup, Water, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Gelatin, Malic Acid, Coconut Oil, Natural Flavoring, Citric Acid, Pectin (Pectin, Sodium Citrate), Cannabis Extract, Sunflower Lecithin. Due to the gelatin,they are not vegan friendly unfortunately. They do contain natural coloring and flavoring. They are gluten free, and dairy free, but they do contain coconut so not totally 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 square-ish 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 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 sometimes use one and a one eighth pieces for a 12.5mg dose of THC when I want a stronger effect, or if I have recently eaten or if I’ve taken CBD, which can tamp down the effects. But 10mg is usually “just right”.

Effects

I am sensitive to the effects of strong Indica strains and the edibles that use Indica strains. These were a pleasant surprise as they didn’t put me to sleep or get me locked into the couch. The nice body relaxing impacts are perfect for an end-of-day experience while still being able to function. The effects I experienced were closely aligned with the effects I’ve enjoyed with similar terpene-specific gummies, relaxing and chill impacts from the Indica-dominant strain.

If you like a really strong body impact from your Indica edibles, you might not find these fit the bill. For folks like me, who are best pleased with a more restrained “two-beers” type of feeling, these are exactly what I like for an afternoon/evening of elevation.

Truly enjoyable real-fruit forward flavor profiles and specific effects are what I look for when I want to elevate. Wyld cannabis edibles do a great job on both counts and really up the game when it comes to natural flavors.

P&B Kitchen Cannabis Infused Chocolate Caramels Review

Posted on by

P&B Kitchen is the edibles line of Papa & Barkley’s. These chocolates with caramel centers are not labeled as indica or sativa, so they are likely a mix of random hybrids.

These edibles are made with 66% Fair Trade Certified dark chocolate and crafted with solventless cannabis rosin. They do contain cow’s milk and cream so they are not suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or folks that avoid dairy.

Each chocolate has 10mg of THC and <2mg of CBD per serving, for a total of 100mg THC and <2mg of CBD per package.

P&B Kitchen Dark Chocolate Caramel box

They do not contain artificial ingredients. They are nut free but made on shared equipment so may contain traces of milk, tree nuts, and/or soy lecithin.

Dosing & Flavor

These smell like regular chocolates. They are hard but easy to bite through and melt in the mouth in the same way as most chocolates.

The chocolates are individually portioned but not individually wrapped and need to be cut in half for a 5mg dose. They are not scored so they do not give a guide for easily cutting them in half.

The chocolate is a standard flavored chocolate, noting fancy like Belgian or Swiss chocolate. The caramel is tasty and neither have much of a cannabis or rosin taste.

The flavor is sugar-forward since the chocolate is made with sugar and the caramel has three types of sugar – Glucose Syrup, Cane Sugar,and Invert Sugar.

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.

Since I am experienced with edibles and my usual dose is 10mg of THC, I began with half of a 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 chocolate for a total dose of 10mg THC.

Effects

The effects I experienced were mainly a slightly relaxed feeling, while still being alert. It doesn’t have the elevated head, alertness and energy you expect with with Sativa-dominant strains, or the strong relaxing and chill impacts from some Indica-dominant strains.

As is the case with most edibles that are not formulated with specific strains or terpenes for a specific type of effect, these effects are just middle of the road. That is fine if you like a mild, slightly relaxed feeling and don’t expect much more.

Decent flavor but muddy effects make this a nice mild edible for those who are THC sensitive or for folks who want to micro-dose. Being hard to cut in half or quarters, however, they are not a great choice to try to have just a 5mg or 2.5 mg dose. If you are looking for an edible with specific effects or impacts, you likely want to keep looking. Perfectly acceptable for an edible experience that isn’t strong and doesn’t taste of cannabis

Cannabis Edibles Cost Per 10mg THC Dose Comparison

Posted on by
Edibles

To understand my cost per dose of cannabis, I looked at prices for a small group of the edibles reviewed here on More Than Buds.

If you want to know what you are paying per 10mg dose, we’ve got the formula and some examples for you.

Prices are different all over, so keep your receipts and try the same comparison if you’re interested in a like-to-like comparison of what you are paying.

I used 10mg of THC or CBD as the standard unit of comparison in this example.

In the example chart below, the cost per 10mg dose varies widely from $1.00 to $10.00. This is a big difference if you are looking for a product to use often, as a thirty day supply of the $10 product costs $300. A thirty day supply of the product that costs $1.00 a day costs $30.

In this example, Kikoko tea and Lagunitas Hi-Fi Hops were the most expensive at $6 and $10 per 10mg dose respectively. SensiChews were the least expensive at $1.50 with Kushy Punch and Valhalla gummies a close second at $1.60 per 10mg dose.

Note: Prices in this example are before tax and may not reflect current pricing.

Emerald Sky 19:1 CBD:THC Gummy Licorice Review

Posted on by

Emerald Sky makes their North Star Cherry cannabis-infused licorice in a formula of 19:1 CBD/THC. Each serving has 9.5mg of CBD and 0.5mg of THC, for a package total of 95mg CBD and 5mg THC. They also make a 10mg Sativa and a 10mg pure CBD gummy.

While they do have a mild licorice taste, this is not licorice in the usual sense of Good & Plenty or Twizzlers. If you don’t like licorice, these likely won’t bother you because cherry, strawberry and red fruit is the much more pronounced flavor.

These CBD gummies are individually packaged, which makes it easy to take one or just a couple with you, rather than taking a whole bag like most gummies. The down side is of course that there is significantly more packaging being used, a concern when it comes to the environment.

North Star Cherry THC and CBD edibles are made with organic and non-gmo sweeteners. They do contain wheat so they are not gluten free but they are vegan and free of animal products.

Dosing

As with all edibles, it is best to start with a low dose of a new product until you know how it will effect you. For someone who is experienced with edibles and whose usual dose of thc is 10mg, the .5mg of thc might not be a concern. Some folks are sensitive to the effects of CBD and may need a smaller dose, so it’s always smart to do a test run with half a dose, wait 2 hours and notice the impact.

I often need more than a 10mg dose of CBD to impact pain or discomfort, it depends on the type of pain. For muscle aches that come from extensive yard work or sleeping in an awkward position, I find I need a higher dose. If the pain comes from inflammation, like arthritis, then around 10mg can help with the pain.

With an Emerald Sky CBD gummy, after testing lower doses I found that for stubborn muscle pain I did need two doses, which provides 20mg of CBD and 1mg THC. Even with the the double dose I did not feel any psychoactive THC effects.

I was glad that with the higher does, I didn’t have any of the Indica-tyoe THC effects you get with some 1:1 THC to CBD ratio edibles. Some edibles with equal amounts of CBD and THC use Indica-dominant strains of cannabis, which can result in relaxing, sleepy or even couch-lock effects. These CBD gummies gave me none of those undesirable effects, just the anti-inflammatory and pain relief effects I wanted.

For a dependable CBD edible in single dose packaging with little to no THC effects, Emerald Sky 19:1 CBD:THC or pure CBD Cannabis Licorice Gummies are a good choice.
