20 WWW.EDIBLESMAGAZINE.COM | ISSUE NO. 22 CONTINUED ON PG 27 21 23 Zen Potion is a new cannabis infused coffee and tea line of edibles. The first thing we noticed was the ridiculously gorgeous packaging. ZEN POTION Zen Potion has great branding with pyramid-like triangular boxes Zen Potion - Niruana Cannabis Tea - 77mg that are extremely visually appealing. It felt like I was committing an act of vandalism opening it. Upon breaking it open, a fancy teabag appeared full of fragrant herbs. Additionally, inside the packaging, Zen Potion includes a thoughtful Buddhist quote. On average, cannabis infused tea bags consist of dosing that ranges anywhere from 2.5 to 20mg. Zen Potion set a new bar with a whopping 77mg for a cup of tea! They also offer a 7.5mg hibiscus tea and a 50mg black chai tea, in addition to infused coffee K-cups. The tea has an earthy, vrey herbal taste, full of flavor and aroma. We suggest adding organic honey or maple syrup and/or almond milk to your liking. The teabag is strong enough for two cups of tea. We would recommend making at least two cups, or brewing one cup and then brewing a less strong cup with the used tea bag afterwards. The tea definitely does its job. It leaves with you a great body high, that might be a little heavy on the eyes, but amazing for sweet dreams, with no fuzzy weed hangover. We recommend this one to tea lovers, patients looking for a healthy way to consume their medicine, or anyone in need of a ‘staycation.’ (Just be sure to pre-stock the house with snacks - there won’t be any driving). BOSS LADY EDIBLES A new trend in the infusion market is cannabis bath bhombs. Bath Bhombs & Cookies and Cream 1000mg Bar What better way to get your meds than directly through the skin? Boss Lady’s bath bhombs are large balls that dissolve into your bath water, creating an infused bath dream escape from pain. We highly recommend trying out their bath bhombs. Not only are they medicated with cannabis, they have healing essential oils and just a hint of menthol for topical pain relief that is unmatched.

Their chocolate bars are 1000mg and will hit you like a truck. Proceed with extreme CAUTION. This, ladies and gentlemen is 1000mg. if you know that you can tolerate the whole bar, congratulations! This will last most patients a few days. Fortunately, the label is very clearly written. So if you eat the whole bar, you didn’t read it. White chocolate isn’t everyone’s favorite, but because it is such a high-dose edible, you don’t need to eat very much to get the job done. There wasn’t a detectable medicine or awkward taste at all. I personally give it a high score for taste. We really like this candy bar and it definitely does the trick! Plus, there is an added benefit, they are cost effective! Since they are so high-dose, you can buy one and eat it over time. Just refrigerate and break pieces off as you desire to, and enjoy! HEAVENLY SWEET MEDIBLES Heavenly Baked - Maui Wowie Krispie Bar - (Sativa 147mg) The Heavenly Baked Maui Wowie Krispie Bar by Heavenly Sweet Medibles is a far cry from your average infused rice crispy treat. While super yummy, it’s not low calorie! The recommended dosage is 3-4 bites to get started, depending on your tolerance you might need more to feel the effects on this one. While you can taste the medication, it definitely left a chill, relaxed feeling. This particular bar has a Sativa infusion, so while all edibles take on a “body high” type feeling (because the THC is absorbed through the lower G.I. tract), you may notice that it still leaves you functional rather than couch locked like a Hybrid or Indica edible would. We recommend this one to anyone with a sweet tooth who isn’t fond of the gummie candies or items that need to be refrigerated. Beyond the extra points on being strain specific (we love Maui Wowie!), Heavenly Sweet Medibles takes their Maui Wowie Krispie Bar presentation to the next level. In addition to the sensual flavors of coconut, marshmallow, and toasted macadamia nuts, the krispie bar is covered and dipped in white chocolate, then drizzled with dark chocolate, and then topped with more toasted macadamia nuts. Who needs a fruity cocktail on the beach when you can take this staycation with you anywhere. 24 WWW.EDIBLESMAGAZINE.COM | ISSUE NO. 22 25 TANGANYIKA ‘TANGY’ KARIN CLARKE CEO/Founder, Jayn Green President - KC Business Solutions , Author, The Canna Print Cornerstone Membership Sales Director SW/SoCal, Women Grow Sales Representative, Making You Better Brands (Xternal) “Women are powerful.

The base is organic Topical Tincture Healing Oil coconut oil, and the bottle contains 450mg of THC. In addition to cannabis infused oil, this fine little topical tincture includes Copaiba - oil from the Amazon is a wound healer and anti-inflammatory, Emu oil - heals burns and is a transdermal, and Tamanu - from the South Pacific which is an anti-neuralgic and an antibacterial. According to the owners of Mackenzie Medicinals, patients have reported that it has helped them with pain from arthritis to fibromyalgia, as well helping to heal skin infections, burns and rashes. I have inadvertently carried the spray in a jacket I always wear. In fact, I walked into something - I am kind of clumsy - and had a giant bruise on my hip while out with friends one night. Since I happened to have the topical healing oil in my pocket, and within fifteen minutes after using it, the throbbing from the bruise was gone. It is no wonder they won first place for Best Topical Tincture in the 2015 Best of Edibles List Awards. It is smooth when sprayed on and leaves the skin feeling moisturized.

Amongst the many chews available on the market, Veda Chews sets themselves apart with an unparallelled medical product. We really enjoyed these mini chocolate caramel chews. The products they have available are VEDA CHEWS Gold CBD, Silver CBD, Indica, Hybrid, Sativa, and Mega Hybrid. With their Chocolate Caramel Chews & Topical Roll-On Balm products ranging from 40mg to 210mg they have taken the guesswork out of dosing with each package separated and individually packaged into 4 doses. It helps that they are individually sealed in a pharmaceutical-grade tray ensuring you eat one at a time. The THC flavor is strong, though they’re small, so it’s easy to digest. The recommended wait time for additional dosing is approximately 1 hour, to which I impatiently ate another about 40 mins in. Great body and head high, long-lasting with no hangover feeling. The high is light but noticeable and gives you some nice warm-fuzzies, and maybe a few extra laughs. What we really love about this product is the fact that it’s Non-GMO, Sugar-Free and Vegan. I’ve finally found what I’m looking for! - a truly healthy edible. In addition to the chews, they also offer a Veda Balm, a CBD topical product with 60mg THC and 60mg CBD (in the small roll-on), the large balm has exactly twice as much medicine, infused with 180mg THC and 180mg CBD.

Bhang is one of the most renowned brands in our young industry. Scott Van Rixel, the CEO and his team of licensees have turned a chocolate bar into BHANG CHOCOLATES an international sensation. Scott came into the industry with a great brand Bhang Chocolate Bars & Vape Pens and amazing product (with fantastic packaging) and teamed up with the right people, and now the brand is in six states and has an international presence.

At this point I am sure many of you have heard of Bhang, if not tried their products, but for anyone who has not tried one of their chocolates or someone looking for a safe and consistent edible to start with, Bhang would be it. If you are new to edibles, I would suggest trying the ice chocolate bar. It is peppermint milk chocolate using a hybrid CO2 infusion. Bhang’s chocolate is made using fairly traded Venezuelan criollo cacao and only the finest natural ingredients. In this specific bar, the flavor of cannabis is virtually undetectable and the flavor brings me back to when I was little and would eat the mint chocolates left on the pillows at a hotel. However, do note that this bar is 180mg, so start go and go slow. The bar is scored out in 45mg pieces, therefore, you can portion it out depending on your tolerance.

Additionally, I tasted the fire chocolate, cookies & cream, cherries & cream and CBD caramel bars. I liked the fire chocolate because it is has a kick to it that actually creeps up on you. The textured packaging is eye catching and sleek. They even include barcodes, complete nutrition facts, along with all pertinent information. The Bhang vaporizer cartridges are smooth and clean tasting. I tried the 550mg All Natural Purple Diesel. It was great tasting and incredibly effective. The company offers a few lines of cartridge, the Bhang Black Private Reserve series (testing at 70%), the Pure Oil (testing at 50-60%) and the All Natural (20- 30%) lines as well. They also have the Bhang Perfecto, a discreet disposable pen filled with the All Natural oil. If you want to check out some more information on Bhang, please go to: GotBhang.com WWW.EDIBLESMAGAZINE.COM | EDIBLES MAGAZINE | MARCH 2016 29 28 31 Sunni Daze Edibles offers a line of medicated pies that are available in Key Lime, Chocolate Silk, Banana Cream, and SUNNI DAZE EDIBLES Fluffernutter flavors. Their pies come in minis as well and Medicated Pies & Mini Pies - 35mg & 100mg are made by a professional baker with nearly a decade of experience in the cannabis industry. The medicated pies are infused with a cold water hash infusion and come in both 35mg and 100mg options. Sunni Daze Edibles is run by a professional baker, they want their product to feel tailor made for each individual. There is a flavor for everyone. Our favorites were the Key Lime and Fluffernutter pies. The cannabis taste is not overpowering, and the consistency of the pies are just as they mentioned fluffy and delicious, but not too sweet. Straying away from the norm of cookies and brownies, Sunni Daze Edibles leaves a taste in your mouth that you will surely remember.

“That is a huge factor for me, if it doesn’t taste good I don’t want to eat it. I also feel that the dosage I have allotted for the pies at 35mg or 100mg is strong enough for an experienced cannabis consumer as well as a good entry level for a first time user. I chose pies because I felt that I had never seen it done before. I love key lime pie, it’s a nostalgic dessert for me and I really like making it too. Why not make it medicated? Twice as nice!,” said the creator of Sunni Daze Edibles.

The inspiration behind Dhamma Edibles is to provide a healthy, DHAMMA EDIBLES nearly 100% organic alternative to consuming medical cannabis in an edible form with Vegan and Paleo options. There are several Cinnful Bites, Coconut Cups, & Brownie Bites - 200mg exceptional brands out there, that are making movements in the edible industry. However, many products being provided are saturated in high fats, gluten, and artificial sugars. Which then limits the span of consumerism to a specific patient prototype. The goal is to start a health initiative that reaches all patients far and wide.

Their 200mg award-winning organic Cinnful Bites package contains four mini cinnamon rolls and are a patient favorite. Toast them or microwave them at home and drizzle the paleo, vegan icing on yourself for a warm and delicious treat that makes you feel good about what you ate. They also have 200mg coconut cups, brownie bites, and infused croutons (that also come in a 400mg bag). Dhamma’s aim is to introduce grain-free, gluten-free, low-sugar, and starch-free products that are healthy but delicious. Dhamma avoids anything GMO, non-organic, refined and processed, so that their edibles are not contributing to additional health ailments. They take gentle care with the ingredients that they put into their products as well as the kind of cannabis. They lab test all of their products to ensure accurate doses to achieve pain-relief and comfort for our patients.

They won first place for Best CannaButter in our 2015 Best of Edibles List Awards. Sometimes it’s easier or more cost effective to buy your own infused butter and then make infused snacks or meals over and over again. The 4 ounce jar (1 cup) is infused with 894mg of THC. Most edibles on the market are sweet or sugary, you can take Butter Baby!’s cannabutter and spread just a little on toast for a stoney wake and bake, or you can use a quarter cup (or a half cup depending on your recipe size and tolerance) and make some infused mashed potatoes or mac and cheese. The possibilities are only limited to your imagination.

63 63 L OCAL NEWS: TRY 5 MEGHAN FARMER CONTRIBUTOR MILLIGRAMS As Oregon became the third state in the nation to legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and over, concern began to grow amongst members of the community of the potential safety and public health risks associated with edibles. While the legislative and regulatory process began in early 2015, misinformation and over sensationalized media articles were misdirecting the public. There emerged those amongst the Oregon cannabis industry who wanted to help change this public misconception and help educate the public on how to consume edibles in a safe and responsible way. One of these people, was David McNicoll, owner of cannabis-infused cupcake company, Dave’s Space Cakes, he became involved in state politics and helped educate legislators about edible-cannabis products. Having realized the benefits of edible cannabis over the past 9 years as a member of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, McNicoll made it his mission to further his educational efforts and better inform the public about the advantages of consuming edible cannabis, by explaining what edibles are, and how to properly understand dosage for people new to ingesting edible cannabinoid products. The end result was the formation of OREC, the Oregon Responsible Edibles Council. Starting from the ground up, McNicoll reached out to other Oregon edible-makers on the grassroots level, and gathered support from within the industry, eventually growing OREC into a non- profit trade association consisting of over 20 member businesses of Oregon’s edible cannabis industry. McNicoll, Chair of OREC, formed the group to also help bring Oregon small businesses together. “The legalization process presents a tremendous opportunity for small Oregonian edible companies”, said McNicoll. “We want Oregon businesses to band together so we can help establish a strong local- based edible market and help each others businesses succeed.” The members of OREC believe the best way to inform the public and hopefully dispel any misinformation about edible marijuana is through education. The first educational campaign created by the group, “Try 5”, encourages first-time users of edible products to begin with no more than 5mg of THC. OREC’s campaign hopes to reduce cases of accidental over-ingestion; and will launch in Oregon in conjunction with the expansion of the Limited Marijuana Retail Product definition to include edibles from Senate Bill 1511-16, projected to go into effect sometime in the spring of 2016. The mission of the “Try 5” campaign is to teach consumers how to consume edibles cautiously when ingesting them for the first time and begin the conversation about the importance of proper dosage. The campaign launch will involve posters and printed handout cards which will be given to state-licensed dispensaries as collateral items for their customers. Stephanie Calderon, Edible Buyer for TJ’s Organic Provisions, a dispensary and OREC member-business in Eugene, OR, is excited to display the “Try 5” poster. “OREC is a valuable resource to train budtenders and dispensary staff when it comes to edible education for the public”, said Calderon. “Education is the key to helping your customer understand that starting low will allow for a more positive first time edible experience.” Keep an eye out for future public education campaigns from OREC concerning parental education, tips for proper at-home storage that will help keep products out of the hands of children and a fact-based & effective youth prevention program. OREC is an advocate for child resistant containers and packaging requirements that will help prevent accidental exposure of edible marijuana and hopefully dispel any fear of child consumption.
