The process:
Each product is given a detailed rating from 0 – 10 or 0 – 5. The lower the score, the worse the product in that category. Our categories include the 5 most important aspects of edible usage.
Taste(0-10) – 0 – I wanted to vomit, 10 – this thing is so tasty I want to eat the whole pack!
Onset(0-5) – 0 – You’ll probably wake up and wonder why you’re high (90 minutes or more), 5 – wow! I wasn’t ready for that (30 minutes or less).
Center or Head:Body (0-10:0-10) – this details the head vs body affect, regardless of labeling (Sativa, Indica, Hybrid, etc.). This NOT factored into the total score but offered as a secondary index because this is preference driven.
Height (0-10) – 0 – I thought I ate an edible?, 10 – Did I eat 3 or 1?
Hangover(0-10) – 0 – I got high last night?!, 10 – I wonder when this thing is gonna wear off, I got bills to pay.
3 Chi Chocolate bar
There is quite a variance between 50-state D9 products. 3Chi seems to be on better, more consistent, and more potent end of the list.
TASTE: 8, actually tastes like real chocolate (but not quite Ghirardelli), no herb
ONSET: 5
CENTER: 5
HEIGHT: 8
HANGOVER: 2
…the quick verdict:
3Chi is a solid option for those in non-recreational states. They have many options and their products run the range of gummy to rice crispy treats.
VERDICT: Recommended
Wyld Edibles
There is a reason why every wants Wyld edibles. They are consistent, effective, and offer multiple D9 and CBD options.
TASTE: 9, just like candy, almost no herb
ONSET: 5
CENTER (H:B): 3
HEIGHT: 10
HANGOVER: 1
…the quick verdict:
Wyld is creating the standard in edible quality, high, and flavor. Truly a righteous, satisfying treat that is well worth the money. Keep an eye out all you lucky legal-state folks because Wyld has frequent sales and keeps adding new flavors and strengths.
VERDICT: Highly recommended
CbdMD Vibe (Cherry)
CbdMD is another quality 50-state product. They were among the first to enter the 50-state market and were a boon for cancer patients. They are consistent and seem to have great quality control.
TASTE: 9, very good, no herb
ONSET: 5
CENTER (H:B): 5
HEIGHT: 7
HANGOVER: 2
…the quick verdict:
You won’t be disappointed if you have to stick with products from CbdMD. Ordering is fast, easy, and a decent number of options. They are probably one of the leaders in 50-state D9.
VERDICT: Recommended
Erth Wellness (watermelon)
Erth is another 50-state product. These were purchased as a sample (via their relentless IG ads) and the first we noticed out the package was a huge size disparity in the two samples. Hemp-derived D9 is hard enough to control, and not being able to cut same-size gummies should be a no-brainer. That said, quality control is not their strong suit and the product showed.
TASTE: 7, mild, subtle, no herb flavor
ONSET: 8
CENTER (H:B): 4
HEIGHT: 5
HANGOVER: 2
…the quick verdict:
You might be disappointed if you have to stick with their products. Getting quality, 50-state, D9 options is hard enough. Erth puts their poor quality control on display. You’d probably need to eat these two at a time if you use regularly.
VERDICT: Not recommended
Dialed In
Dialed In is another great weed-legal product. They were purchased on a recommendation and they deliver. Not the best high or flavor, bit of a hangover, but a good, solid gummy.
TASTE: 6, decent weed odor and taste with an odd texture (like the lovechild of plastic and butter)
ONSET: 5
CENTER (H:B): 6
HEIGHT: 8
HANGOVER: 3
…the quick verdict:
You could do far worse than Dialed In, but also much better. A solid option for you lucky ones, and I keep a bunch on hand. If you need low-herb, candy-like gummies, these are not what you want. If you want a solid, consistent performer that won’t let you down, then get Dialed In.
Tyson Hash-based gummy
I like Mike and I like edibles. This is first has-based product we tried and it was solid. It is another weed-legal product and it was on sale. We bought it, reviewed it, but this is unlikely to be a “go-to” product.
TASTE: 5, there was minimal herb flavor, but no real flavor, more just gummy texture.
ONSET: 7
CENTER (H:B): 7
HEIGHT: 9
HANGOVER: 4
…the quick verdict:
You probably need to be a real hash aficionado to appreciate these – we are not. Good high, but a little long on the onset, and a little much for a hangover.
VERDICT: Recommended (for those that like hash)
