Satori’s line of chocolate bars, bites and mints, carried in numerous dispensaries throughout the state and beyond, are now joined by a product that seemingly answers one of the biggest issues facing edibles consumers today: When is this thing going to kick in? Science tells us that when we normally eat an edible infused with Cannabis, it must first travel through our digestive system before the active ingredients (THC, etc.) reach the bloodstream, then the liver, and eventually, our brains. However, a new category of products known as sublingual edibles, such as lozenges, are able to kick in faster because they dissolve directly into the mouth’s mucus membranes. Satori’s new fast-acting strawberries rely on a nano-emulsifier known as VesiSorb. The inclusion of VesiSorb within each bite enables consumers to absorb the fat-soluble nutrients and phytocannabinoids within more efficiently. Simply put, Satori’s new bites are a chewable edible that hits in minutes, not hours. Dosed at 3mg THC and less than 2mg CBD per piece, Satori’s fast-acting bites cut the experienced consumer’s usual wait time in half. Thanks to each bite’s modest dosage (tins come packaged with 33 doses), one can start slow and sustain an ideal high for several hours by redosing at periodic intervals. As for flavor, the chocolate is certainly tasty. Those who turn their noses up at the scent of terpenes should also be advised that these bites definitely taste like weed. Fortunately, the dominant flavor is that of sweet strawberries, which Satori sources from alpine growers in Italy. For those who hate the guessing game of quantity and timing when it comes to edibles, this new item from Satori is truly a godsend. Given they’re retailing for only $20 a tin, expect this impressive addition to the Satori family to be flying off shelves for a long time.
