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.

Kiva Camino Wild Cherry Excite Cannabis Gummies Review

Posted on by

Camino cannabis gummies come in an Excite formula with a Wild Cherry flavor. This formula has 5mg of THC and 0mg of CBD per serving, for a total of 100mg THC and 0mg of CBD per package. As with the rest of the Kiva Camino range of edibles, these gummies are not just infused with distilled THC but are formulated with natural terpenes to create specific effects.

Kiva Camino Excite Cannabis Infused Gummies Red Tin

My local dispensary charges $20 for a package, making it $2.00 for each 10mg serving of THC, the same price point as the Kiva Cannabis 100mg Chocolate bars. These gummies do contain gelatin, so they are not vegetarian or vegan friendly. The screw top tin is one you push down to turn and open. The gummies are not individually wrapped.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the gummies is as expected a cherry smell. Like the other Camino gummies, they have a lovely opaque appearance and a soft texture that is easy to bite through.

The flavor is a regular cherry flavor that doesn’t have any bad aftertaste. A mild sour note from citric acid gives these that sour-ish twist to the cherry flavor. I’m not a cherry flavor fan, so I don’t rate these high in taste, but they are perfectly fine even for a cherry flavor hater.

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 Camino Excite gummies are easy to bite in half to give a 2.5mg THC dose. Since I am experienced with edibles and my usual dose is 10mg of THC, I began with one piece, with 5mg THC. After having only light effects for that trial run, I then moved closer to my usual dose, taking two gummies for a total dose of 10mg THC. I also tried 12.5 mg using two and a half 5,g pieces to see if the effects were more noticeable.

Effects

The effects I experienced were not substantial for me, but were a very pleasant mildly relaxing and elevated sensation. Like most edibles, the impact often reflects and amplifies your state of mind. If you are not “in the mood”, these will not suddenly put you in the mood in my opinion, but if you are feeling frisky, these can smooth the path by heightening your senses and increasing sensations. These could really boost your fun if the timing is right.

Overall enjoyable with no negative effects like drowsiness or a too spaced-out head effect. Good flavor profiles and type-specific effects are exactly what I look for in an edible and Kiva’s Camino gummies do a great job on both counts.

Kiva Camino Watermelon Lemonade Bliss Cannabis Gummies Review

Posted on by

Camino cannabis gummies come in a Bliss Social formula with a Watermelon Lemonade flavor. This formula has 5mg of THC and 0mg of CBD per serving, for a total of 100mg THC and 0mg of CBD per package. As with the rest of the Kiva Camino range of edibles, these gummies are not just infused with distilled THC but are formulated with natural terpenes to create specific effects.

Kiva Camino Bliss Cannabis Infused Gummies 100mg tin

My local dispensary charges $20 for a package, making it $2.00 for each 10mg serving of THC, the same price point as the Kiva Cannabis 100mg Chocolate bars. These gummies do contain gelatin, so they are not vegetarian or vegan friendly. The tin is one you push in while you turn to open. The gummies are not individually wrapped.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the tin is a natural lemon and fruit smell. Like the other Camino gummies, they have a lovely opaque appearance and a soft texture that is easy to bite through.

The flavor is a mild natural lemonade and fruit flavor that doesn’t have any bad aftertaste. A mild sour note gives these that suggestion of lemonade and the fruit flavors suggests watermelon, but I don’t feel these taste a lot like watermelon.

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 Camino Social gummies are easy to bite in half to give a 5mg THC. Since I am experienced with edibles and my usual dose is 10mg of THC, I began with one piece, with 5mg THC.

Effects

The effects I experienced were a lovely elevated and relaxed feeling, while still being alert and energetic. I love these for interacting with nature whether it’s gardening, a forest “bath” or a walk on the beach. As someone who enjoys photography, these are great for staying alert to great images without feeling over-hyped and at the same time the mild relaxation leaves you open to possibility. A very positive effect that feels mostly like a Sativa-type effect of elevated mind along with an Indica kind of body relaxation that isn’t too strong that you just want to sit down.

Enjoyable flavor profiles and type-specific effects are exactly what I look for in an edible and Kiva’s Camino gummies do a great job on both counts.

Valhalla Cannabis Sativa Gummies Review

Posted on by

My go-to edible for daytime use is the Valhalla Sour Watermelon Sativa gummies. They hit all of the important points for me – flexible potency, great taste and consistent effects.

Tasty, Portable, Economical and Effective

One of the first and most important elements of any edible is taste. While you may be willing to deal with a not-great taste for specific effects, it is always great when the edible is delicious. Being a big fan of Jolly Roger-type flavors, I love the Sour Watermelon flavor that Valhalla uses. I can still taste the cannabis a little bit and the flavoring works in harmony with that taste, not trying to cover it up or clashing with it, as some edibles can.

Since they come in Indica and Sativa and CBD specific types, the Valhalla gummies let you find the right ratio of each through experimentation.You might want half a Sativa and half a CBD for daytime pain relief and uplift. Or half an Indica and a whole CBD for evening use or sleep support.

I have found that if I take them on a relatively empty stomach and take it with some food with fat in it as well as having caffeine, I get a perfectly strong effect that lasts at least 4-5 hours. When I feel the effects fading I can boost it with another half of a gummy, as they are easy to cut or bite through.

This is my standard edible for days when I want an energetic effect to help me get things done around the house, spark creativity or help focus on a task. Valhalla gummies deliver that consistently and with great taste!

Muncheez Cannabis Infused Cereal Bar Treats Review

Posted on by

Muncheez Cannabis Infused Cereal Bar Treats edibles come in six different cereal type flavors – Cinnamon Crunch, Cookie Krunch, Cocoa Krunch, Fruity Krunch, Berries ‘N Cream, and Cookies ‘N Cream. These combine the old school cereal flavors with an old school edible flavor. No hiding the cannabis taste here, with the taste of cannabutter these bring us back to the old days of friends homemade cannabis edibles.

Each cereal bar treat has 10mg of THC per serving, for a total of 100mg THC per package. These cereal bar treats are formulated with distillate and cannabis butter. The cannabutter gives these treats a distinctive taste that is grassy and just like homemade cannabis infused butter. The Cookies ‘N Cream we tried was made with something called “Crystal Imagination Cannabutter”.

The package is a child proof plastic bag with a zip closure, it does not appear to be compostable or recyclable. After tearing off the top, you must pull the sides away from each other while pushing them apart with a finger. That is not super easy for someone with limited hand mobility or arthritis, so if you’re one of those folks you may want to cut the package open and put these into a container (child proof if children are ever where they are kept) you can open more easily. Inside are the treats and they are in a a single bar as shown in the image.

Dosing & Flavor

The smell from the container is a strong cereal and cannabis butter smell. Muncheez Cannabis Infused Cereal Bar Treats first ingredient is marshmallows which are made with corn syrup, sugar, dextrose, gelatin, natural and artificial flavors. There are other dairy products in them as well, so they are not vegetarian or vegan friendly. They also list artificial colors in the ingredients, so there are both artificial flavors and colors here. They are are not gluten free or dairy free, and they do contain coconut so not totally nut free. For allergens, the product contains coconut, milk, soy, and wheat.

These treats have a soft cookie texture and are easy to separate into single servings . Cookies ‘N Cream have a very light sugar-covered texture, almost like what you’d see in a glazed donut. They are easy to bite through and melt in the mouth similarly to a cookie. They are soft with a bit of cookie crunch and have a very pleasant mouth feel.

They are are not gluten free or dairy free, and they do contain coconut so not totally nut free. The servings are not individually wrapped and need to be cut into 10 pieces for a 10mg dose or cut those 10 each in half for a 5mg dose. They are soft and the 10 pieces are pretty clerly indicated, 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 treats 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 10-15mg 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 hybrid – some body and some head effects. Relaxed body and a little bit spacey. The impacts are not very energetic, so more for a sedentary activity at home. The effects I experienced were closely aligned with the effects from similar hybrid edibles, with a mix of head and body focused effects, but not too much either way.

Nostalgic sugary cereal flavors and middle of the road effects are what we found for these treats. We prefer to stay away from artificial flavors and colors in our edibles, but we get that having a favorite cereal flavor is attractive for an edible. Muncheez cannabis edibles bring back that cereal experience along with the cannabutter flavor, which takes us right back to old school edible flavors .

Muncheez are made by SB MIPS LLC in Henderson Colorado and they also make fruit gummies.

Currently only available in Colorado and Oklahoma.
