One of the first edibles I tried years ago were cannabis gummies. They were familiar sounding and I didn’t really know what else to try. That was a while ago. Here I am today reviewing Wana Watermelon Gummies. It feels like old times.
They come in a container of 10 pieces (20 mg each). One gummy works out to cost $2.00. This edible doesn’t say of it is Indica or Sativa and is not strain specific.
I do not like the taste of these gummies. I’ve had Wana’s mixed flavor gummies and the watermelon ones are really the best. It tastes very medicinal, then it gets bitter. I don’t enjoy the taste of these gummies. Its’ okay but just generic with the bitter aftertaste.
Although I took a little more than my usual dose, the high was not too strong. It took about 45 minutes to have any noticeable effects. This was more “up” like a sativa buzz. I was able to accomplish several tasks. Focusing was very easy. The high lasted 3 hours and I didn’t have the munchies.
Twice more I took a 10mg dose, which is my usual dose and felt practically nothing. I tried boosting them with 2.5mg of another gummy but still almost no effect. It was like taking nothing at all, which felt like a waste of money.
The edibles industry is growing with all types of amazing products. Wana Gummies are a safe bet, but I urge you to talk with your favorite budtender and ask for their recommendations and read our reviews for honest feedback.
Between the bad taste and the weak, non-specific effects, I can’t recommend these gummies.
Wana Quick Cannabis Infused fast-acting gummies line of edibles come in various different flavor and effect combinations, like Sativa Peach, CBD Strawberry Margarita, and Indica Pina Colada. They also come in other various flavors, including a Sativa “Sunrise” flavor for several of the states where they are sold, including Nevada and Colorado. These are some of the quickest acting 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 fast-acting “molecular encapsulation”, which they explain creates smaller and easier to absorb molecules than nano technology.
Some Wana Quick Gummies options
The package is a squarish plastic cylinder that says “please recycle” but doesn’t have any of the usual recycle number symbols on it. You must squeeze near the top of the bottle to release the top and open the package. Inside are the gummies and they hardly take up half of the package, not sure why there is so much extra packaging. A fair amount of pressure is needed to open the package, not great for folks with limited hand strength or arthritis.
Dosing & Flavor
The smell from the container is a strong fruit punch smell. Wana gummies are made with natural flavors but they don’t say what the flavors are exactly. With so many gummies having candy-like unnatural or artificial flavors, these are not a stand out in the real-fruit flavor department. Like most of the edibles we’ve tried, these don’t come close to tasting like real fruit. But if taste is not your highest priority, not to worry.
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 fairly easy to bite through, are soft and have a pleasant mouth feel.
These gummies contain Sugar, Tapioca Syrup, Pectin, Citric Acid, Natural Flavoring, Modified Food Starch, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Cannabis Extract, Terpenes, Sunflower Oil and Vegetable Oil. Since they don’t contain gelatin, they are vegan friendly which is always a cruelty free plus.
They are 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 but shaped like triangles so take care when cutting them into thirds or 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, 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.
Run of the mill flavor profiles but good strength and specific effects are what these edibles provide when we want to elevate. Wana Quick cannabis edibles do a good job
Available in California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and elsewhere.
I cannot recommend this product and actually warn against it as potentially dangerous.
Regardless of flavor or potency, this is one of my least favorite edibles when it comes to packaging. There is no indication if the cannabis used is Indica or Sativa, never mind what strain it is or what farm it came from. Worst of all there is NO INDICATION OF DOSING!
While the packaging says that the whole thing contains 200mg of THC, it does not even give a recommendation such as “One tablespoon equals Xmg of THC” or “suggested dose is one teaspoon”. That creates a dangerous guessing game, where yours truly is expected to do math to get stoned. Fail!
What is scary is that on the nutritional facts label, it says that “1 serving = 1 package, 1 pieces per package, 200mg THC per piece”. Again, a person who does not know what they are doing could take that to mean that they should make up cocoa using the whole bag and as much milk as it takes, then drink the whole thing. Disaster! Never do that!
I understand that you can divide the total amount of THC by the weight, but few folks know how many teaspoons or tablespoons are in a gram, never mind how many are in an ounce, and who wants a product that requires you to do math just to have some hot chocolate?
Cannabis hot chocolate sounds fantastic, but I am loath to potentially waste half a day or more and possibly have unpleasant effects or to little effect because I have to guess at the dosing for this product.
Jeers to the makers of this product, Mountain High Products Wana brand, for not providing any of the most basic information to help people know how to use their product and what effects to expect. It’s even more frustrating when you see in the image that they make sure to include their social media contest details, but not the dosing information.
I may have to resort to dividing the contents into 10 equal piles so I could guess each pile might have 20mg in it, then I could try to divide each of the piles into two equal halfs so I could get to my preferred dose of 10mg. Oh wait, not only do I need to do math for this, I also need to buy a scale so I can weigh everything out and then I need to buy ten tiny plastic bags or containers to hold the doses once I have divided them up.
Stay away from products that don’t have clear labels, that let you easily take specific doses and easily divide doses to control your intake.
