PB&J and Holland Crunch Truffles by Colorado Cannabis Co Colorado Cannabis Co has one of the widest selections of infused products to choose from. Baked goods, savory items, concentrates and tasty confections like their truffles have patients coming back for more. The PB&J had a crushed peanut outside with a delectable peanut butter and jelly filling. Each truffle was about the size of a doughnut hole with the perfect amount of peanut butter and jelly. At 17mg per truffle these divine treats became a little troublesome for me as I ate all 6 truffles in one sitting. The truffles come in a clear plastic container with all necessary information printed on the bottom. These tasty treats will melt in your mouth while you melt in your couch. I could easily knock down a few packages of these if they found their way in front of me. The Holland Crunch looked like a standard truffle, with a dark chocolate shell. Inside was a pleasant rich chocolate crunch. Both truffles seemed to be fast acting, with first effects kicking in within 30 minutes of eating. Colorado Cannabis Co was also generous enough to supply us with their Black Forest Cupcakes and I am glad they did. The cupcakes were 50mg each and came with two in each package. The Black Forest Cupcake was possibly the best tasting edible I have ever had. coloradocannabiscompany.
Medicinal Cannabis Chocolates by Bhang I have heard great things about Bhang Chocolates in California for over a year now, so when I found out they were coming to Colorado I was excited to sample the company that has been dominating the west coast edible market. I tried both their Fire and Ice Chocolates. With a claim of 180mg of cannabanoid content Bhang’s single strength is 60mg. The problem is that the bar is divided into four sections at approximately 45mg each. With that in mind, I had no complaints about the product itself. Since 4070mg is usually what I want in an edible dose, I tested one section at each sampling to gage the consistency of both flavors. I love dark chocolate with a little spice to it so I tested the Fire Chocolate first. While I didn’t get as much spice as my palette wanted, it was subtle and appealing especially with the hint of orange mixed in with the dark chocolate. I was more surprised with the flavor of the Ice Chocolate because I am usually not a fan of mint chocolate but I actually preferred it to the Fire. Again, the hint of peppermint was very well balanced with the milk chocolate. There is no doubt in my mind that master chocolatier S.V. Rixel at Bhang knows what they are doing. Both bars had the same activation time (45 minutes) and the same duration of effect (more than four hours) for me. The effect itself was very pleasant with a nice body relaxation and a moderate head high but still fully functional at 45mg for light to above moderate activities. What really stood out for me was the consistency of the medication, which for me is the most important factor in an edible. At every sampling the effect was exactly the same. I didn’t notice any peaks or valleys throughout the experience, just a nice even high that eased in and stayed the same for about three hours then eased on out. Welcome to Colorado Bhang, you guys might as well buy some ski passes -you’re going to be here for a while. bhangchocolate.com
