Cherry berry crush gummies

Bluntly Speaking | Jackie Paper

Product: cherry berry crush flavor live rosin-infused gummies 

Producer: Off Hours 

Cannabis content: 10 mg THC and .93 mg CBG per gummy of wedding cake 

I picked these up from the Legacy dispensary that was set up in the New Paltz firehouse for a minute. That was a surreal experience. Having this stuff be legal to buy still feels weird for people like me who have lived most of our lives under prohibition, and that scene made me nostalgic for keeping an eye out for the cops. It was just a guy at a card table with a menu, an ID scanner and a tablet. The only other thing in the firehouse was the minivan parked in the back. You order, and another guy grabs what you bought and slips it in a paper sack. If not for the credit card and the license I needed, it felt just like the old days. 

Anyway, I’ve liked gummies for a lot of years now, and I have to say that they are tasting better than they used to. Okay, there was a time when I wasn’t exactly fastidious with changing the bong water, and maybe some of my friends might have said that I was the last person to be a critic of how drugs taste if I could smoke through that mess, but that was a long time ago and I learned my lesson and just don’t own a bong at all these days. What I’m trying to say is that these definitely taste like cherry candy. Cherry isn’t a berry, and if there’s supposed to be a berry flavor it gets lost with all the cherry, but I like cherry. I have no idea what a crush is supposed to taste like. These taste like cherry. Well, they taste like cherry candy, which is a flavor I like but technically is not the same flavor as an actual cherry. Eat real fruit. It’s good for you. 

I’ve had these for a bit and only taken one at a time, but for my review I doubled up because it was pretty low key and I didn’t want to miss anything. What I got was a detectable onset in less than ten minutes, followed by about an hour of buzz. I had a halo of jolly that radiated out from somewhere between my eyes and my joy, and put a pep in my step. I have a very level gait. I have been told more than once that if you can’t see my legs, you might think I’m floating, because my head stays at the same height. With this gummy in my tummy I found myself bouncing along as I walked, and honestly I don’t know how anyone doesn’t get tired of that right quick and just level their heads. It was fun while it lasted, and added to my overall mood, but all that shaking feels like it could injure the brain or something. 

During peak effect, I was able to interact with a stranger by asking and answering questions like a normal human being, but if it hadn’t been nice enough to walk around I would have stayed home and been perfectly fine. Good for cutting through the doldrums of the day, because it makes life a bit brighter. For overall intensity, I’d rate these gummies as one-tenth the experience I got from an unnamed baking hobbyist’s peanut butter delight cookie. The container I got had ten of the candies, which I think would be half one cookie — and that cookie would make a body mostly useless for a good chunk of the day. Gummy is good for zeroing in on that low-level experience that adds some pep to the step, but doesn’t leave you passed out in an alley. 

Did I write “pep in your step” twice? Okay, maybe I should say that this gummy feels like living in a ’50s TV show, expect it’s in color, and three dimensions, and doesn’t have any background music or a laugh track that isn’t in my head. 

Pretty sure I didn’t get forgetful with these, but I did forget to check to see if I had red eyes, so there’s that. Didn’t get cotton mouth or the munchies. Keep your edibles away from your little ones, human or otherwise. No one wants to explain that to the doc, and what grownups might find fun could make for a world of suck for a tyke or a pup. Don’t be that dude.
