Leafs by Snoop: Dogg Treats Cherry Fruit Chews

I'm really excited to review today's edible for you! We're going to discuss Dogg Treats, part of the Leafs by Snoop line. These are the Cherry Fruit Chews, not to be confused with the Cherry Gummies.

Leafs by Snoop: Dogg Treats - Cherry Fruit Chews

Gorgeous Packaging!

The very first thing you notice about ANY of the Leafs by Snoop line of marijuana products is the insanely AMAZING packaging design. Someone put a lot of time and thought into making these look appealing to the general public. Every single edible in the Dogg Treats line shows equally astounding packaging. It's also a little ingenious when it comes to the child safety features built into the packaging itself!

Child Safety Feature: Press tabs in and slide out tray

How the child safety feature works: Press both of the tabs into the box at the same time. Pull the plastic interior tray out while pressing the tabs in. Once you've done that, slide the tray out and check out the lovely little edibles inside!

Child Safety Feature: Pull the tray out!

As with most of the Dogg Treats edibles, the entire package contains 80mg of THC spread out over 10 pieces of candy. Most edibles come in 100mg sizes, so I was a little sad that the Dogg Treats contained 20mg less than what I'm used to.

I'm not going to lie. I'm in love with the Dogg Treats line. I've had the Cherry Gummies a few times, and they're so yummy that I'd eat them without any THC! The Cherry Fruit Chews are no exception. They are the same consistency as salt water taffy (a staple back in my homeland of New Jersey), and taste just like cherry taffy should taste. There is no noticeable hash taste, which makes this Bunny very happy!

The effects are gradual, unlike the sudden onset of the Americanna Gummies I reviewed yesterday. Sliding into a nice mellow buzz seems to be a specialty of the Dogg Treats. Not a bad thing, but not good if you're trying to get fast relief.

All in all, I'm in love with the Dogg Treats line of edibles. I plan on continuing to try the other flavors out as money permits. I'm sure they'll be delicious too :)

It's worth noting that Starbuds has an agreement with Leafs by Snoop to carry their EDIBLES in Colorado. They are not carrying the flower that Snoop put out (yet).

SpaceBunny says: TRY THESE! Especially if you detest the taste of hash in your edibles. They're expertly crafted to taste delicious. You won't be disappointed!

Foria Sexual Enhancement Oil

We're going to take a stab at reviewing Foria Sexual Enhancement Oil in this post.

Foria Sexual Enhancement Oil (Contains 75mg THC)

Foria is a topical spray oil made up of coconut and cannabis oil. It's specially formulated for women, and absolutely positively can NOT be used with LATEX. Polyurethane and other materials are just fine. 

I first noticed Foria at Starbus Louisville because of it's shiny packaging. Anything shiny is going to catch my attention. Thankfully, the fine folks at my dispensary deal with my ADHD ass. As soon as I asked the budtender what it was, I knew what it was meant to be used for. Awhile back, I'd read about the development of Foria in California. The price tag at the time put me off to trying it. It seems as though the price has come down from the initial planning stages, however. 

This lady is not one to shy away from anything sex-related. I bought Foria because I enjoy trying new things, and this seemed about as new as one could get in the world of sex and weed. Those of you who have had the pleasure of enjoying cannabis while engaging in sexy fun times know that it enhances the experience a bit. Foria is no exception to this rule.

Foria comes in a teeny tiny glass bottle with a spray applicator. Simply spray a couple squirts of Foria on you or your partner's clitoris, inner/outer labia, and even inside the vagina. The instructions state to wait 15 minutes for maximum effect, so take this time to massage Foria into the ladybits.

It has very little smell, and is not exceedingly greasy. Some lubes and oils seem to get everywhere, but the spray applicator makes this a non-issue. The feel of it is just like baby oil. 

This reviewer tried Foria without being in the mood at first, just to spot check and make sure no allergic reaction would occur. I want this to be known first and foremost: FORIA IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU HORNY. It's not a magical cure for dead bedrooms. On its own, Foria doesn't do much other than increase circulation and natural lubrication.

Trying it while being in the mood is a totally different cup of tea, however. There is increased sensitivity in the clitoral area for sure. Natural lubrication goes through the roof. Enjoyment over all seems to be increased. This may or may not be related to the Foria itself, however.

Here's a snippet directly from Foria's website:

As an all-natural plant-based medicinal, it works with your body to facilitate unique wellness experiences. For some women, it may awaken arousal and heighten sensation making orgasms more intense, fuller or easier to access. For others, it can help promote natural lubrication, reduce pain and tension and create the relaxation necessary for sensual experience or restorative rest. Foria Pleasure works with you, wherever you might find yourself on the pleasure spectrum.

As you can see, even Foria doesn't tout their product as being meant for arousal. It "may awaken arousal" but that's not guaranteed. Simply having your partner massage the oil into your nether regions would be arousal enough for most folks, however. Think of using Foria as an addition to sexy times, rather than being the initiator for it. It's a valuable tool in your toy box, if you use it correctly.

It's worth mentioning that all women are different. Some are more sexual than others, and we're all DEFINITELY different physically. Sex is much more mental for ladies, and as such, ladies really need to be in the mood for it to work out well. As I mentioned before, Foria is not a magic bullet (haha, bad joke!) for getting you aroused. If you're having trouble in the bedroom, consider sitting down and communicating your troubles to your partner or seeing a medical doctor.

SpaceBunny says: Foria is a great addition to the sex-toybox, providing added lubrication and sensitivity when aroused already. Definitely worth checking out if you're feeling adventurous!

(A footnote: I've had more folks ask me about my experience with Foria than any other THC-infused product I've tried in the last couple of years. There's a lot of interest in sexual enhancement products, but folks seem to be too intimidated or embarrassed to try them out for themselves. The folks at Starbuds do not judge, and will not give you any crap for trying ANY product out. If you are ever in a retail setting where the employees make you feel bad at all for your purchases, take your business elsewhere!)

Edit 2/5/15: Do not do what this woman did... Lady drinks Foria

Americanna Gummie Stars

Today I'll give you the low-down on Americanna Gummie Stars.

Each gummy star contains 10mg of THC. The entire container contains 100mg of THC. As with all edibles, start out with one and wait a bit. If you don't notice anything, then try another. Better to be not-stoned-enough than too stoned!

Americanna Mixed Gummie Stars from Starbuds Louisville

A friend at Starbuds Louisville handed these to me to try out. The first thing I noticed was the weight. Typically edibles are pretty light. These gummies are VERY dense, and pretty thick. I've had other gummies (which I'll review later on when I have some to take pictures of) that are pretty lightweight and small.

Upon opening the container, you'll notice the gummies are not in any separate bag or interior packaging. This is handy, but also worries me since you can't be sure about the cleanliness of the plastic child-proof containers.

The gummies themselves are not small. They're about the size of a quarter, and as thick as a Starburst. Popping more than one of these in your mouth at a time is not suggested due to size. They're dusted in a tangy sugar mixture, and come in five different flavors that I haven't quite figured out yet. In the picture below, you'll see four of the five flavors. I ate all of the orange stars before starting this review, however.

Americanna Mixed Gummie Stars (quarter for scale)

Since I mentioned the orange stars, I'll start off by mentioning they taste like Tang. When you first pop one of these into your mouth, you'll notice there is indeed a hashy taste at first. Once you bite into the gummy and chew it for a bit, that hashy flavoring dissipates leaving behind a very yummy fruit-flavored gummie. I'm not sure if the manufacturer coats the outside with a hash-sugar mixture or what, but that's kind of what it tastes like.

About 15 minutes after eating just one of these 10mg gummies, I noticed some effect. The fuzzy head and warm feeling was pretty noticeable while I was walked around the grocery store doing my shopping. SpaceHusband noticed an immediate effect on his back, which has three herniated discs. He said it killed the back pain enough to the point where it was not bothering him any longer. Very encouraging results for just one 10mg gummie.

All in all, these aren't bad little gummies. The hash flavor in the beginning put me off to them at first taste, but I stuck with it and definitely didn't regret it. The gummies are a bit big, but I think the larger size doesn't put me off to them. Beyond that hash taste, these are delicious little potent treats. If you don't mind the taste when you first pop them in your mouth, I'd highly suggest trying them out!

SpaceBunny says: Definitely check these out if you like fruit gummies and don't mind a slight burst of hash flavor.

Introductions

Hi there!

My name is SpaceBunny and I'll be your in-orbit guide to the wonderful, magical world of  marijuana in Colorado. As a medical patient, I have unique insights into both recreational and medical marijuana in the Denver and Boulder area. As an outside to the state of Colorado, I know what it's like to come to a new place and be completely overwhelmed by all of the choices out there.

My hope for this blog is to give you unbiased reviews of various products I come across in my travels. Too many folks are coming to Colorado without research to guide them on their journey. There's no money in this for me, just a passion for helping people.



Here's a little bit of information about your host:

SpaceBunny hails from the land of New Jersey, but not the part you've been to or seen on TV. The gentle flat farmlands and fields of green are a stark contrast to the megalopolis that lies between Philadelphia and New York City. She was brought to Colorado by tech jobs, and six months later ended up laid off. 

Her familiarity with medicinal applications of marijuana stems from a lifetime of experiencing migraines. In 2010, an accident left her with Trigeminal Neuralgia, an extremely painful condition involving nerves in the face. When life handed her lemons, she turned them into lemonade by creating and administering a chronic pain support community on reddit. That community is now over 6,500 pain ninjas strong.

These days, she takes care of a domestic violence victim and her four-year-old child at her home with SpaceHusband. In her free time, she likes to try new marijuana products, taking apart electronics, learning new things about technology, and driving around her new state.
