I thought 4/20 was a good day to write a cannabis review. I like to walk about on 4/20 to hunt for traces of the 420 fairies, and I thought these hearts might make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I picked my chocolate hearts up at Big Gas dispensary in New Paltz on its opening day.
People are really nice there. Selling what they’re selling, they look pretty stoked to be getting a legit paycheck. I hope it’s a dream job for all of them.
I was thinking that two of these hearts should be enough. I was getting all organized and was thinking I should time how long it took for me to feel anything.
You can’t imbibe a Bistro slammer just before your hearts if you’re gonna be scientific about it.
That’s the thing with edibles. If you get the munchies ahead of time, you might have to wait it out.
Turns out that with a good breakfast you can wait an hour to feel anything. You might say I waited an hour and a half because I didn’t realize the high had crept up on me for about half an hour. Maybe I just got distracted and wasn’t thinking about writing a review.
Even with the wait, this research project would have started off better if I liked dark chocolate. I don’t. I assume it was good dark chocolate, because I had heard that anyone who likes dark chocolate will tell you what’s good and what’s not. I picked mine out because of the High I Love You name.
You want to try a solid 10 mg THC dark chocolate heart. Anything Lagusta makes is also vegan and environmentally chill.
Back in the day, I couldn’t walk by a cop with a brownie in my pocket without the local drug doggo getting a waggy tail. These chocolates don’t taste anything like that, which is good if you don’t like that taste. Remember, though, you gotta lock these up if you don’t want your own doggo or kiddo getting into a bad time because you screwed up.
Another thing that’s different with commercial edibles is the labeling. I asked a friend who makes what’s called a “peanut butter delight” cookie in what he termed an adult dose. I’ll never know how much of a high comes in an adult dose, but his cookie kept me useless for about four hours. It was a nice useless, and I didn’t have anything else to do anyway. Some people like to know what to expect before they chow down.
I’m gonna say that a High, I Love You chocolate heart will take the edge off a stressful job without making it harder to think. The two I took also didn’t give me red eyes or cotton mouth, which means that maybe a little cannabis isn’t gonna make most desk jobs harder. Your boss doesn’t have to know.
I was spending that hour when I was waiting for everything to kick in looking for the 420 fairy’s presents. We all know what the 420 fairy looks like, but no one ever can say for sure that they’ve seen a fairy.
I’m pretty good at finding those little 420 fairy gifts, which is probably why I didn’t notice when the two hearts I took finally got into my system. I think I spotted three of them, or maybe four, but I got turned around and that fourth one looked really familiar. Either I walked past that same bench twice, or maybe it had fallen out of my pocket. Anyway, three for sure. Because I’m blessed, I always leave them for someone else to take home.
When these hearts settled in, they settled in a ring around my head, just above my eyebrows. There was a soft tingle around my skull there, perhaps a soft signal sent out from my cerebral cortex on the suborthotic frequency. It made me aware of my height and of how many inches lower than my height that head circle was. For four hours I felt that bliss that comes of modern cannabis of an unspecified strain.
It definitely lasted longer than the taste of quality dark chocolate lasted in my mouth. People I talked to smiled and laughed, but didn’t back away slowly. I didn’t try operating a motor vehicle, because nothing kills your buzz like being thrown in the back of a cop car.
My experience, though positive, wasn’t earth-shaking. I rate it at only a third of that of a peanut butter delight.
Join the family!
