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.

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.

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
