You know a dispensary is business savvy when they have small add ons near the register, the oldest trick in the retail book, to tempt me to walk out with no cash left in my pocket. Last visit to PSA, I was duped out of my very last cent, when a gleaming gold pyramid begged my attention as my budtender weighed me out. The brilliant treat in question: Agave Sweetened Raw Vegan Chocolate. Try saying that five times fast.
Shiny things are just so enticing, and the Venice Cookie Company shrewdly uses a nice gold leaf foil packaging to wrap this chocolate edible. There wasn’t much info on each individual treat, but most importantly, it did contain mg counts.
The edible itself is full of dark chocolate bitterness. However, there is also a smooth, mocha like finish to please the palate at the end. The Venice Cookie Company typically uses magnificent chocolate in their edibles, but this delicacy is like none other. I’m a cannabis connoisseur, not chocolate, but this rich indulgence is to be savored. You don’t need to be an expert to see that.
At 30 mg of THC, it will give a nice base high. 10-30 mgs is the recommended dose for beginner to light cannabis users, and they will find in this edible a level and unobtrusive high. It’s a bit low for more moderate users who may need two, but it’s nice for when I am out and need to be mildly and discreetly medicated. For patients who use lower doses, this may be more than enough, and even the package suggests only taking a quarter dose at first. With edibles, I find the best barometer is to be aware of the mg counts in your product and count out your doses in that manner. It takes a bit of math–nooo!!!–but knowing your typical dose size can help you from under or over medicating. I tend to shy away from any product that doesn’t list THC content. No one wants to be unexpectedly laid with too large a dose. With Venice Cookie Company edibles, that is never a problem, and your doses will always be perfect.
