When I stumbled across the Sweet Green Confections booth at the SoCal Cannabis Cup this year, the sun was at its highest and I was desperate for relief. Then my oasis appeared in the form of medicated ice cream and shade from the sun. After a bit of rest and some wonderful conversation that left me impressed with Sweet Green’s quality edibles and socially and environmentally responsible business philosophy, I was on my way with one of their medicated chocolate bars to review.
Although I was given a choice from across their range of flavors, including potato chip, cherries and marshmallow, spiced tangerine, and of course, the classic pan-fried bacon, those who follow the site know the only option was the key lime pie. The real struggle came when I had to refrain from sampling it until after the photo shoot could be completed. The packaging indulged me with promises of key limes and crushed graham crackers in a smooth white chocolate. And when the photos were finally approved, it was time to eat.
Although I’m not normally a fan of white chocolate, here it is a nice neutrally sweet flavor for the namesake ingredients to build on. The smattering of crushed graham cracker is enough to give the illusion of a crust, while the freshly tart lime accents the white chocolate. Not overly sweet or lip puckeringly sour, these chocolates are the definition of artisanal crafting.
Sweet Green Confections’ mission in providing ethically sourced and deliciously natural ingredients in their edibles is a constant theme in this chocolate bar. The chocolate is single origin and fair traded. The cannabis used is tested for safety and potency by the Werc Shop. Every edible is crafted with ingredients free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and sweeteners. And far from being content to stop there, Sweet Green’s kitchen is health department certified and their treats are made by award winning chocolatiers. The packaging is even printed on 100% recycled paper to ensure the edible in your hand is the most responsible it can be.
Each candy bar from Sweet Green Confections contains 180 mg of THC, which I mathed out to 7.5 per segment. This is a nice base dose for beginner users, and more experienced users can multiply up from there. With each row then equating to 30 mg, my prefered average dose of 60 mg made for a tasty and satisfying two rows of chocolate.
An uplifting and spirited high, the potent cerebral effects are only surpassed by its comforting and meltingly relaxing body buzz. Never too overwhelming to function, even at higher doses, these edibles are a capable solution to discreet medicating. And thanks to their myriad of effects, these tasty chocolates are a useful solution to a range of physical and psychosomatic symptoms.
