Watermelon Sucker by Mountain High Suckers Edibles with CBD enriched medicine are always in demand and Mountain High Suckers has been one of the pioneers. They offer a wide selection of flavors with their hard candies and suckers. For patients who are looking for quality CBD products or looking to try edibles for the first time, Mountain High Suckers are a great option. The watermelon sucker that I tried for this review tested at 6mg CBD, 1.2 CBN and 32.8mg THC. This was a great dose. It was level and mellow enough for daytime use. I found that the sucker started with a light body high that helped with some pains I was dealing with. I was able to stay fully functional and work throughout the day. Their suckers definitely taste better than a majority of the candies on the market, which have too much of a weedy taste. A couple hours after having the sucker I did have an increase in appetite and wished I had another sucker. Patients who are looking for a discreet, low dose product to help them get through the day should consider Mountain High Suckers. www.mountainhighsuckers.com AK-47 Wax by Urban Dispensary I am no stranger to Urban Dispensary’s flower but this was the first time I have tried their in house strain specific concentrates. For this review I sampled the AK-47 wax, which I was looking forward to as AK-47 is one of my personal favorite strains. I also got my hands on some of the AK flower to compare the two. The aroma of the wax was bursting of out the container and filled the room. Its smell and flavor were practically identical and that’s one thing I love to see in processing. The wax had a light golden color with a texture like crumbled cookie dough. Each dab was smooth and full of flavor. After my first dab I felt it behind the eyes immediately. A head rush followed that turned into a euphoric experience. This is a great option for patients looking for a stress reliever. Urban Dispensary is one of Denver’s finest dispensaries and never disappoints. Go visit them at 38th & Clay and check out their exceptional selection of flower and concentrates. www.urbandispensary.com Lemonade-Black Tea by MarQaha When I was told I was reviewing MarQaha I was excited because for some reason I hadn’t sampled any of their drinks in the last three years of having a red card. After trying their Lemonade-Black Tea, it will not take me that long to buy them again. It had a delicious flavor balancing the lemonade and black tea to make one of the best “Arnold Palmers” medicated, or not, that I’ve had. The hint of cannabis flavor in there worked perfectly and reminded me of the days when my mom would put a hint of fresh mint in our iced tea. Of course MarQaha’s “mint” moves beyond just a good flavor profile. In my opinion, medicating beverages can be one of the toughest methods to get right in the edible world. There can be issues with consistency due to aspects like the THC bonding to the inside of the glass because it is a difficult task to keep it fully soluble for extended periods of time in a liquid form. The top beverage companies in Colorado have worked out most of these kinks over the last few years and MarQaha is no exception. I noticed very little settlement at the bottom of the bottle and just a light shake took care of that for me. The entire bottle lists approx 110mg of THC per bottle so I split the portion in half. Because the bottle is not resealable I had to pour the other half in a glass and seal it for later. The 55mg portion was light and pleasant as an effect but next time I will probably do the entire bottle in one sitting or pair it with my favorite flower for additional effect. I noticed activation at about 45-50 minutes but it might have kicked in faster as it pleasantly crept into my awareness. The medication lasted about four hours and was very evenly dispersed throughout the experience. With a sativa strain used to medicate the Lemonade-Black Tea I found this to be a great daytime drink for a summer picnic or barbeque. With one of the best integrations of the cannabis flavor in a drink, I would offer this to any naysayer who says they don’t like the “weed” taste in an edible. www.marqaha.com
