If you're lucky, you may have noticed backyard BBQ invites rolling in again, lazy afternoons at the beach with friends, and a few other signals that are helping to make life feel normal again. Fingers crossed, knock on wood, it's time to start the engines as we peel past a global pandemic and into summer high season - pun intended.\n\nAs the days get longer and we can enjoy one another's company again, [cannabis is a great way to ease social anxiety](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/the-connection-between-marijuana-and-anxiety) and [increase a sense of connection](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/can-cannabis-decrease-social-anxiety-as-the-covid-pandemic-winds-down) to the ones we love. It can also help soothe away the tensions held from a year of working from home.\n\nHere we list our favorite summertime strains to keep you feeling light, relaxed and grateful for the renewed good vibes.\n\n![Hello1-min (7).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello1_min_7_b010be192e.png)\n\n### [Super Lemon Haze](https://hellomd.com/strains/super-lemon-haze)\n\nThe child of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze, Super Lemon Haze is an award-winning triumph that holds a high level of terpenes and a super citrusy aroma. The buds are super elongated and sticky with a THC content of between 15-25%. It's well-known to have a stimulating cerebral effect with an incredibly tangy and lemony taste. The effects are uniquely energetic and lively and good for those that want to get the party started.\n\n![Hello2-min (7).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello2_min_7_1f0ce98028.png)\n\n### [Dirty Girl](https://hellomd.com/strains/dirty-girl/)\n\nDirty Girl is a tropical delight, swimming in citrus flavor and exuding the personality of a Caribbean Island. Dirty Girl is from British Columbia and is a cross of Cinderella 99 and Arcata Lemon Wreck. Its THC content hovers around 25%, and it is known to give an energizing and smooth buzz. The bid has yellowish hairs and a sticky terpene profile reminiscent of Pine-Sol, or a walk in the woods. Smoking Dirty Girl will lead to feeling focused, uplifted, and motivated enough to tackle to-do lists.

This strain is known for its playful and energizing effects and was born out of the California hillsides. Candyland is crossed with Granddaddy Purple and Platinum Girl Scout Cookies. It's a Sativa-dominant hybrid with THC content, and watch out as its THC content can go as high as 29%. It's both earthy and sweet with a dense trichome coverage that smells of berry and pine. Candyland is a strain known for getting people out of their shell as it's uplifting, happy, and a good combination of relaxation and stimulation.\n\n![Hello4-min (7).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello4_min_7_bfdd72c79a.png)\n\n### [Doug's Varin](https://hellomd.com/strains/doug's-varin)\n\nDoug's Varin is one of the few strains you can find reliably having a high THCV content. The strain boasts an unprecedented 6:7 THC to THCV ratio. It provides a clear-headed and focused high with bursts of energy that is well-known for mental stimulation.

After suffering for years from chronic pain due to intense migraines and fibromyalgia, [cannabis allowed me to stop using narcotics](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/how-we-can-disrupt-the-opioid-epidemic-with-cannabis). Those traditional pharmaceuticals didn’t provide much benefit other than occasionally masking the pain. Once I turned to cannabis, I found a solution that not only prevented my chronic pain but also helped me manage pain when it crawled through. Once I realized cannabis was a possible solution for me, I began experimenting and eventually found that microdosing was my path to success.\n\n![Hello6-min (6).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello6_min_6_6f0daaad5e.png)\n\n### Microdosing Cannabis as Effective Pain Relief\n\nWhen many people talk about microdosing, they mean taking small amounts of cannabis, waiting to feel the effects, and then taking more until you reach your desired result. The microdosing I want to talk about is taking small amounts of cannabis on a consistent basis to receive health benefits without the psychoactive effect.\n\nRespected cannabis doctor [Dr. Dustin Sulak noted substantial anecdotal evidence](https://www.projectcbd.org/sobre-cbd/clinical-research/dr-dustin-sulak-cannabis-dosing) within his practice over a period of years with microdosing. He said in a recent article, “*I discovered that most people have a certain threshold dosage of cannabis, below which they’ll actually experience a gradual increase in health benefits over time, and above which they’ll start building tolerance, experiencing diminishing benefits, and more side effects.*”\n\nAs with so much within the cannabis community, we depend upon anecdotal evidence as clinical research is scarce due to marijuana’s classification as a [Schedule 1 drug](https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling#:~:text=Schedule%20I%20drugs%2C%20substances%2C%20or,). However, a recent [study conducted by University of California, San Diego, demonstrated positive results with microdosing](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3566631/). The study focused on subjects suffering from neuropathic pain and had them microdose through vaping. The results indicated that the patients who microdosed cannabis at 1.29% felt as much pain relief as the patients who used a medium dose at 3.53% cannabis. Those who microdosed less also felt better for a longer period of time than participants who ingested more.\n\n![Hello1.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello1_63481b85e9.png)\n\n### Lower Doses of THC May Enhance the Endocannabinoid System\n\nWhat’s most interesting about this study is its contrast with the average amount of [tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/thc) found in most vape pens or joints, which often stand at 14% and may even go as high as 95%. The amount of THC used within microdosing is substantially lower than what most consumers ingest in a typical sitting. Some hypothesize that microdosing on a consistent basis results in more positive benefits than higher doses because lower doses of cannabis enhance the [endocannabinoid system](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system) while much larger doses make our CB1 and CB2 receptors—the receptors that control appetite, pain, mood, and memoryless responsive. \n\n![Hello3.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello3_de8707650f.png)\n\n### My Personal CBD Microdosing Regimen\n\nMy version of microdosing includes a daily dose of tinctures high in [cannabidiol (CBD)](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/cbd); I like a ratio of 20:1 CBD to THC. I also use a low-dose tincture with 2.5 mg of THC per dose as many as two to three times a day. \n\nSince these THC doses are incredibly low, I never feel high, if anything, I just feel mildly relaxed. When a migraine does manage to sneak through, which is now rare, I vape a high-CBD pen of any one of the strains [Canna Tsu](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/canna-tsu), [ACDC](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/acdc), or [Harlequin](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/harlequin/). These strains contain around 20% CBD to 5% THC. Again, my goal is to manage pain and not get high, and without a doubt, I reach my goal. \n\nMicrodosing allows me to live a very full life, prevent chronic conditions, and manage pain when it happens. Without cannabis and this regime, I would be in bed for multiple days a month. Now I’m not dependent on narcotics, and I’m able to be far more functional across the board.\n\n![Hello5-min (6).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello5_min_6_18167593eb.png)\n\n### Microdosing Is Perfect for Newcomers & Seniors\n\nI feel that microdosing is the way to go for all newcomers to cannabis, as well as the fastest-growing group of medicinal marijuana users: senior citizens. These new consumers are faced with a confusing and disaggregated system. When walking into a typical dispensary, you’ll often come face to face with a 20-something budtender who might suggest an Indica gummy bear that contains 100 mg of THC, a chocolate bar with 1,000 mg, or a vape oil cartridge with a whopping 95% THC. Oftentimes, this is a recipe for disaster for the new patient.\n\n![Hello6-min (5).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello6_min_5_5d7926c2dd.png)\n\n### The Marijuana Market Needs to Catch Up\n\nUnfortunately, the cannabis marketplace is more focused on recreational consumers and hasn’t caught up with those of us using cannabis as medicine. What we need is a plethora of products that are between 2.5-5 mg per dose, whether that be a tincture, edibles, sublingual spray, or high CBD/low THC vape oil cartridges. \n\nThe bottom line is that the market has yet to catch up with consumer trends. My hope is that innovative manufacturers continue to release new products that address the new groups using medicinal marijuana, as well as the anecdotal and research-based evidence that supports microdosing cannabis.\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/cannabis-101) posts.\n\n### Get Your Medical Document & Purchase Medical Cannabis\n\nIt's easy to get your medical document with the online [Telehealth service HelloMD](https://www.hellomd.com/get-started/).

But although experts recommend getting at least seven hours of sleep every night, [more than a third of Americans are missing out](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/sleep-facts-statistics). Insomnia and other sleep disorders contribute to daytime sleepiness and poor concentration. Some research suggests these problems might also play a part in developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. \n\nThere are various solutions for treating sleep disorders. They range from [holistic remedies](https://hellomd.com/articles/a-holistic-approach-to-alleviating-insomnia) like herbal teas and meditation to a variety of prescription and non-prescription sleep aids which are capable of causing unpleasant side effects.\n\n![Wake up refreshed after consuming cannabis.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_19_05_PM_672aa3644e.png)\n\nResearch reveals that cannabis can be an [effective and natural sleep aid](https://hellomd.com/articles/5-sleep-disorders-cannabis-can-help-alleviate) that works with the body’s system to promote relaxation and relieve issues such as anxiety and chronic pain that can sometimes interfere with sleep. Adults in Pennsylvania who have a valid medical cannabis card can now choose from many cannabis products to make falling asleep easier. \n\nAt the bottom of this article we take a look at five of the best cannabis products for sleep in Pennsylvania.\n\n### Sleep Disorders are Common\n\n[Sleep disorders](https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/sleep-disorders/what-are-sleep-disorders)\n can affect just about anyone, even children, and become more common as we age. The term “sleep disorder” includes a variety of conditions that prevent people from getting enough sleep, including narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and insomnia. \n\n Of these, insomnia - trouble falling asleep or staying asleep - is the most common, affecting an estimated one in ten people at some time in their lives. Insomnia can be short-term or chronic, and because it has so many causes, it can be difficult to treat. \n\nCommon [contributors to insomnia](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/what-causes-insomnia) include:\n\n- Anxiety\n- Numerous health conditions, such as restless leg syndrome\n- Chronic or acute pain\n- Medications and treatments\n- PTSD\n- Irregular sleep schedules, such as shift work\n- Distracting surroundings\n- Certain foods\n\nSome causes of insomnia can be easily remedied, such as avoiding certain foods before bedtime or rearranging the bedroom. Many people turn to the prescription drug Ambien, which has side effects ranging from dizziness and daytime fuzziness to a “sleep-wake” condition called parasomnia. This condition causes people to engage in wake time activities like driving or even shopping while under the influence of prescription sleep medication.   \n\n![Indica strains are better for a good night's sleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_14_23_PM_2f2ea5bcfb.png)\n\n### Cannabis Supports Sleep Naturally\n\nCannabis has many therapeutic applications-including helping people sleep better. The compounds and terpenes in this ancient plant are similar to cannabinoid-like chemicals naturally produced by the body. They activate the same network of cell receptors called CB1 and CB2, which are found throughout the organs in our bodies. \n\nThis network of receptors is called the [endocannabinoid system (ECS)](https://www.cannabinoidclinical.com/cannabinoid-science), and it plays a significant role in maintaining balance among our body’s systems, including those that regulate pain signaling, mood, relaxation, and even arousal.\n\n![Cannabis flower can help some people sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_6_56_42_PM_69a74251ba.png)\n\nCBD (cannabidiol) and THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), and other cannabinoids and terpenes work with our ECS to fight insomnia. In various combinations, these compounds activate chemical pathways in the brain that modulate perceptions of pain, promote feelings of relaxation, and reduce anxiety.

About one in ten Americans suffer from either short or long-term insomnia. It can affect children as young as twelve, and it’s prevalent in those over 65.  Insomnia also seems to be increasing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nInsomnia [has many causes](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/what-causes-insomnia), too, which makes it challenging to treat. \nCommon contributors to insomnia include:\n\n- Health conditions that cause pain and discomfort at night\n- Irregular sleep schedules\n- Certain medications\n- Stress \n\nPoor sleep can have several adverse side effects. Because sleep gives the brain time to rest and reorganize, insomnia can cause daytime sleepiness and problems with focus and concentration. Some studies suggest a consistent lack of sleep could contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.\n\n![Herbal tea can help you get to sleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_5_59_02_PM_8da22d579c.png)\n\nBecause insomnia is an umbrella term for many conditions that cause sleeplessness, it’s no surprise that insomniacs can choose from a [variety of remedies](https://hellomd.com/articles/a-holistic-approach-to-alleviating-insomnia) ranging from lifestyle changes, \nmeditation or a cup of soothing chamomile tea before bed to potent pharmaceuticals that force the brain into downtime. \n\n### Cannabis Can Beat Insomnia - Naturally \n\nResearch reveals that [cannabis can offer relief](https://hellomd.com/articles/5-sleep-disorders-cannabis-can-help-alleviate) from many of the conditions that contribute to insomnia, without the side effects of prescription sleep aids.  The compounds in this plant work with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a large network of cell receptors found throughout the body and brain. \n\n![iStock-1171629016.jpg](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/i_Stock_1171629016_832c45d4d9.jpg)\n\nThe ECS system helps to maintain balance among the body’s many subsystems, and it responds both to naturally produced cannabinoid chemicals and the very similar compounds found in cannabis. That’s why combinations of the cannabis compounds THC (delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), and many other “minor” cannabinoids and terpenes can help to relieve the anxiety, depression and pain that can contribute to poor sleep. \n\n### The 5 Best Cannabis Products in New York for Sleep\n\nCannabis in New York [is now legal for both recreational and medical patients](https://oasas.ny.gov/cannabis).

The cannabis plant acts on the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of cell receptors that respond to cannabinoid receptors naturally produced by the body. In this way, cannabis can activate neurotransmitters in the brain and nervous system to reduce anxiety and depression, block pain signaling, and promote relaxation.\n\n### Buying Cannabis in Illinois\nToday, Illinois residents can choose from various legal cannabis products which promote restful sleep.

Get the Sleep Vape Pen by Dosist ","slug":"want-to-fall-asleep-get-the-sleep-vape-pen-by-dosist","content":"Closing out 2021 has been an anxiety-driven endeavor. On many nights I’ve found myself restless in bed, tearing at my covers, only to pull them back tight as the cold sets in around me. The stress of COVID, remote work, and uncertainty for the future regularly feels overwhelming, leaving me to seek out any possible resolution to bring on a deep, uninterrupted sleep. \n\n![Cannabis can help you fall asleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_25_at_11_31_38_AM_09614a10be.png)\n\nRather than turning to “doctor ordered” prescription medication such as Ambien — which comes with a [list of side effects](https://americanaddictioncenters.org/ambien-treatment/side-effects) longer than a receipt from CVS — I looked to [cannabis to help me fall asleep](https://hellomd.com/articles/top-5-cannabis-products-to-help-you-fall-asleep). When I use cannabis, I prefer products that don’t leave me anxious, ideally they do the opposite, providing the opportunity to drift off into a restless sleep. \n\n### The Science Behind Cannabis & Sleep\n\nThe [science behind cannabis and sleep](https://hellomd.com/articles/a-holistic-approach-to-alleviating-insomnia)\nis more complex than I had initially believed. When cannabinoids bind to receptors in the brain, they send messages to increase levels of sleep-promoting adenosine levels and suppress the brain’s arousal system. In short, it can certainly help you sleep, but you need the right product with the optimal CBD and THC dosage for a perfect sleep. \n\n![Cannabis can help you get a good night's sleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_24_at_5_50_16_PM_48ddfbed9f.png)\n\nMy number one concern when consuming cannabis is that I’ll overindulge. It’s almost impossible to know how much THC you’re going to inhale in each puff of a joint or vape pen. But I was pleasantly surprised to learn that [Dosist’s sleep pen](https://dosist.com/formula-detail/sleep) eliminates this concern. They’ve created the first “dosed” marijuana pens, designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep naturally. \n\n### The Dosist Vape Pen: One-of-a-Kind\n \n![The Dosist Sleep Pen](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_24_at_5_47_57_PM_2dd7d4af83.png)\n\n[Dosist’s vape pens](https://dosist.com/) were selected by Time as [one of 2016’s Best Inventions](https://time.com/4572079/best-inventions-2016/) alongside products like Apple Airpods and Tesla’s Solar Roof. [New Cannabis Ventures](https://www.newcannabisventures.com/time-adds-cannabis-consumption-device-to-best-inventions-list/) noted that “The device is truly one-of-a-kind.”\n\nBoth the tech and cannabis community have embraced the Dosist vape pen (formerly called Hmblt). [GQ wrote](https://www.gq.com/story/best-stuff-of-2017) “Weed-delivery innovator Hmblt has mastered not just aesthetics (its dose pen, good for 200 hits, could be sold in an Apple Store) but also tech, a rarity in the pot world.” \n\n### The Sleep Dosist Vape Pen\n\nI was able to pick up my own [Dosist 'Sleep' vape pen](https://dosist.com/formula-detail/sleep) at a nearby dispensary in my hometown of Denver, Colorado. I ran in around 7 pm and was home by 8 pm. After popping open the box and unsealing the plastic, I gave the Sleep pen a once-over. Holding the product felt like I had a piece of futuristic medicine in my hand. It even looks a bit like an elongated pill, with a little opening at the top where you can see the honey-like cannabis oil. \n\n![The Dosist Vape Pens have a variety of effects](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_24_at_5_46_01_PM_7b644b40b9.png)\n\n\nAccording to [Dosist](https://dosist.com/) the Sleep pen is \"8:1 THC to CBD formula designed to help you fall asleep, and stay asleep naturally.\" I was looking forward to trying it. After a strong draw on the tip, I noticed a vibration after about three seconds and the vapor stopped. The vibration indicates that you have drawn in one dose of cannabis - so I knew exactly what I had inhaled! \n\nThe vapor was aromatic, it tasted smooth and sweet — a familiar flavor that I now associate with sleep. That was my first dose. As a semi-regular cannabis user, I took two doses and then laid back on my bed, flicked off my lamp and waited. 8 hours later I woke up to my alarm buzzing. I hadn’t slept so deeply and peacefully since the pre-pandemic days. \n\n![The dose pen by Dosist.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_25_at_11_37_25_AM_cc06e19f25.png)\n\nThe best part was that there was no grogginess when I opened my eyes in the morning. I actually didn’t even need any coffee that morning, and I am what one would call a “coffee aficionado,” but I already felt awake without caffeine! \n\nIf my personal endorsement isn’t compelling enough, Dosist customers are in agreement as well:\n\n![Sleep Vape Pen Dosist customer](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_24_at_5_41_10_PM_391a7aec00.png)\n\n- “I’m a British Army veteran (living in the USA) of two deployments in Afghanistan. I haven’t slept well since 2009. Your pen changed that. I sleep like a log. I wake up energized and fresh. It has changed my life.”\n- “Sleep has literally saved me. Better sleep and barely any headaches that I used to get all the time. Lifesavers, truly.”\n- “I took two doses and felt a lovely warm blanket feeling, and fell asleep soon after. I woke up in the morning clear-headed after a good night’s sleep.”\n\n### Where to Buy a Dosist Sleep Pen\n\nDosist's products are currently available in California, Colorado, Nevada and Canada, serving a total dispensary network of more than 700 stores.

Infused cookies, chocolates, and savory treats are a great way to enjoy the benefits and pleasures of cannabis. \n\nBut, achieving the right effect can be tricky, especially if you're new to cannabis.  That said, with a little trial and error, you'll [be able to find the right product and the perfect dose](https://hellomd.com/articles/dosing-cannabis-edibles-safely). Here we've listed a few tips to help you.\n\n### What Are Cannabis Edibles?\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-12-10 at 5.19.35 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_10_at_5_19_35_PM_78e64fd582.png)\n\nA cannabis edible is any food infused with cannabis compounds such as THC, CBD, or CBN. This also includes beverages such as the new lines of cannabis-infused waters, sodas, or juices. Cannabis edibles aren't new - for many years, people have been adding cannabis to foods. The most famous of course, are the homemade weed brownies of the 1960s and early 1970s.\n\nA long list of cannabis brands create edibles containing precise formulations of cannabis compounds tailored to meet just about every need. The new generation of edibles provide an alternative to smoking or vaping cannabis, and they're helping to bring cannabis to a broader range of consumers.  \n\nCommercially produced cannabis edibles contain various combinations of cannabis compounds and terpenes. Most include some amount of delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabidiol, or THC, the psychoactive cannabis compound that produces that euphoric \"high.\" Other edibles contain more CBD than THC, the non-intoxicating cannabinoid,  which has gained attention for its relaxing effect.\n\n### How Edibles Work: Pros and Cons\n\n![Bon Bombs cannabis edible in Washington state.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_10_at_5_14_24_PM_0e67febe26.png)\n\n[Bon Bombs](http://www.verdelux.com/classic-bon-bombs) (Washington)\n\n\nCannabis edibles can be safer than smoking, which creates toxins from burning cannabis leaves. But if you're accustomed to smoking - or even if you aren't - you'll want to exercise some caution when trying edibles because they act differently on the body.\n\nCannabis edibles are simply foods that contain cannabis, so they're processed the same way as other foods – through the digestive system. For that reason, it can take an hour or more to feel the effects of an edible, so it's easy to overconsume. If you're consuming edibles with a  high THC content, it's easy to have too much, and the result may be an unpleasant experience.  \n\nLikewise, because edibles are food, it can be hard to stop with just one bite of a chocolate bar or a nibble of a cookie. That can make it difficult to measure an appropriate dose, and it's easy to consume more than you intend to. But edibles can be an easy and enjoyable way to consume cannabis for both recreational and therapeutic purposes if you [follow a few key guidelines](https://hellomd.com/articles/9-foolproof-rules-for-consuming-cannabis-edibles)\n recommended by experts in the cannabis community.\n\n### Eating Edibles - Start Low, and Go Slow\n\n![Garden Society Peach Prosecco Gummies](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_10_at_5_11_18_PM_9d66585a5c.png)\n\n[Garden Society](https://thegardensociety.com/product/peach-prosecco-gummies/) Peach Prosecco Gummies (California)\n\nCannabis edibles can be potent, so if you're trying edibles containing THC, it's important to follow the basic rule of cannabis consumption: start low, and go slow. Start your edibles journey by microdosing - take a small amount and gradually increase your intake until you get the results you want.  \n\nSome cannabis experts suggest keeping a log of your experiences as you work up to the right dosage. Note the kind of edible you tried, the amount you used, and the percentage of THC and other compounds it contains. Track your dosage until you get it right – there's no \"one size fits all\" prescription, and cannabis can affect people very differently.\n\n### Allow for Digestion - Be Patient\n\n![Kiva Terra Bites](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_10_at_5_25_21_PM_890525e65f.png)\n\n[Kiva Terra Bites](https://www.verilife.com/il/menu/Verilife-north-aurora-illinois-marijuana-dispensary) (Illinois)\n\nGive your edible time to work, since it can take more than an hour to feel its effects. Eating more of an edible because you don't feel an immediate effect can lead to a bad experience later. If you end up overdoing it with a high THC edible, keep in mind that the experience will pass, and it isn't fatal. Consider keeping a high CBD product such as a tincture or lozenge on hand, since CBD can balance out the effects of THC.\n\n### Get Your Edibles from Quality Sources\n\n![1906 Go Edible](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_10_at_5_02_59_PM_1c66813ca8.png)\n\nThe [1906 Go Drops](https://1906newhighs.com/) for Energy (Colorado)\n\nTo get the perfect dose of your edible, it's essential to know what's in them. Your friend's homemade brownies might taste great, but it's impossible to know the amount of THC you are consuming and how it might affect you.  Quality edible products have clear labeling that indicates the product's cannabinoid content, including percentages of THC and CBD. That can make it easier to get just the right amount every time.  \n\nEdibles combine the taste and texture of cookies, chocolates, and other treats with the potent benefits of cannabis.

They typically consist of a filter and a cylinder filled with ground cannabis flower. \n\nPre-rolls come in various sizes and contain cannabis strains of all kinds. They're a staple of most recreational cannabis outlets and dispensaries, and today's pre-roll market features a range of upscale products that offer the highest quality cannabis flower, packaged with today's health and wellness-conscious consumers in mind.\n\n### Canndescent Defines Cannabis Luxury in the California Marketplace\n\n![An example of cannabis pre-rolls by Canndescent](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_29_at_2_07_57_PM_d0d2029c7b.png)\n\nCalifornia-based Canndescent was founded in 2015, and just two years later, the company became the state's leading producer of cannabis products. Since its launch, [Canndescent](https://www.vogue.com/article/cannabis-companies-green-rush-stylish-socially-conscious-canndescent-1906-bloom-farms) has been dedicated to the twin goals of sustainable cultivation and the rebranding of cannabis consumables as \"transformative products that tune and enrich the human experience.\"\n\nIn pursuing those goals, Canndescent has racked up an impressive array of industry firsts and honors. The company pioneered solar-powered cultivation and precision nutrition for its scientifically engineered strains and now focuses on developing a select few product lines that echo the styling of high-end fashion and luxe lifestyle brands.\n\n![Canndescent flower focuses on the overall effect created](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_29_at_2_10_26_PM_52043ecd52.png)\n\nCanndescent CEO Adam Sedlin claimed a spot on [High Times' 2018 list](https://hightimes.com/news/high-times-100-2018/) of the 100 most influential people in the cannabis industry for his vision of crafting a different kind of cannabis brand – one inspired more by the clean, minimalist messaging of Apple and Google than by the traditions of an industry defined by arcane terminology and silly names for cannabis strains.\n\n\"My view was that I was going to have gorgeous cannabis in cut crystal decanters,\" Seldin said in a[ recent Wall Street Journal interview](https://www.wsj.com/articles/inside-the-cannabis-industrys-luxury-rebranding-11557946556). \"And that we were going to reposition the whole thing and make it approachable.\"\n\n![Canndescent pre-rolls are labeled with one word to mimic the overall effect.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_29_at_2_14_16_PM_c96a9ef330.png)\n\nCanndescent pre-roll products are different - they are labeled with a one-word description of the desired effect: Calm, Cruise, Connect, Charge and Create. They might not come in the crystal decanter that Sedin envisioned, but they're attractively packaged, similar to beauty, fashion, and other luxury lifestyle products, with eye-catching design, color, and minimal text.\n\nConsumers can find more detailed information about the strains and terpenes in the product descriptions, but as Sedlin points out, Candescent's sleek, minimalist branding [makes it easy for anyone to find the right product](https://www.popsugar.com/news/Canndescent-Luxury-Cannabis-Company-Review-44229474)  based on the desired effect. That product, Sedlin says, is the one that best answers the question: \"how do you want to feel?\"\n\nWith that question in mind, here's a look at Canndescent's five best pre-roll offerings.\n\n### Canndescent Pre-Roll Calm\n\n![Canndescent's Calm pre-roll](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_29_at_2_01_33_PM_2c1647a170.png)\n\nCanndescent's [pre-roll Calm](https://canndescent.com/effect/) is an Indica-dominant pre-roll.

I've spent many hours in transit, and have on many occasions found myself sitting in Charles-De-Gaulle airport in Paris. A small, guilty pleasure of mine, while being stuck at Charles-De-Gaulle, is the ability to buy and taste the macarons from the [Lauduree](https://www.laduree.us/) stand, the famous French luxury bakery and sweets company founded in 1862. Some might say that Lauderee put the elegant double-decker macaron on the map, and to this day the company sets the industry standard. \n\n![Lauderee French macarons set the industry standard](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_46_26_PM_74f6182e86.png)\nLauderee French macarons in Paris\n\nTraditional macarons come in various flavors and colors, with two light outer shells that are crunchy in texture with a buttery filling as a center. \nThere is a balance of creamy sweetness as you bite into a macaron, with unique and mundane flavors such as lemon passion fruit, pistachio, blackcurrant violet, vanilla, rose petal, coffee, or even 'Marie-Antoinette'. \n\nOnce you've tasted a macaron, a sweet meringue-based confection, you'll know the meaning of culinary luxury combined with delicate decadence. A macaron is not only an aesthetic pleasure but releases a hit of dopamine from the moment it hits the tip of my tongue.\n\n### Herve Launches Luxury Cannabis-Infused Macarons in Nevada and California\n\n![Herve cannabis macarons launched in Nevada and California](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_48_19_PM_7427fdad5e.png)\nHerve cannabis-infused macarons\n \nI've been in the cannabis industry for nearly nine years, and during this time, I've seen the explosion of edibles in the marketplace. Yet, despite the growing popularity of cannabis edibles, the breadth of selection has not kept pace. Looking at the cannabis industry, you would think the world is obsessed with multi-colored gummies.\n\nFor the discerning cannabis consumer, there's relatively little choice for high-quality, luxury products, until now. [Herve](https://shop.hervedibles.com/?tab=schedule), the Las Vegas-based edibles brand,  launched their high-end cannabis-infused Les Macarons in Nevada in 2020 and most recently within California in October of 2021. \n\n[Wine Enthusiast](https://www.winemag.com/2021/10/22/best-gourmet-food-gifts-guide/) named Herve \"The best cannabis edible gift for luxury seekers\" and says, \"good things come in groups of threes, and these luxury edibles are no exception.\" While [Benzinga](https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/21/11/n23816835/herv-expands-into-california-for-the-first-time-with-the-launch-of-its-signature-macarons) wrote, \"These innovative, high-end cannabis concepts will bolster the luxury cannabis sector as premium consumers seek cannabis-infused experiences.\"\n\n“For California we have launched our signature Hervé macarons but with re-formulated recipes specifically designed for the California market,” said Cheyne Nadeau, Vice President of Marketing of Hervé. \"While the flavors and effects will be identical to our top selling Nevada macarons, we have focused on removing all dairy products from our recipes while also moving to fully sustainable packaging to ensure we are constantly evolving our offerings.\"\n\n### Herve Macarons - Made by Hand and Gluten-Free\n\n![Herve macarons are a party in a box](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_49_52_PM_38a173a80d.png)\nHerve cannabis macarons - a party in a box\n\nWith a nod to the French classic, Herve makes each gluten-free, vegan macaron by hand using the world's finest ingredients to create a top-shelf luxury cannabis experience. Each macaron is made with a Sativa hybrid distillate and contains 10mg of THC per cookie. Each colorful macaron is hand brushed with 23-karat gold leafing, which is not only beautiful but makes these macarons infinitely giftable! \n\nCheyne Nadeau commented, \"Our signature Hervé macarons have taken off in Nevada, quickly becoming one of the most sought after cannabis edibles in the market. The hand-made nature of the product that uses only the best ingredients from around the world combined with premium Sativa hybrid cannabis makes the macarons beautiful and delicious while offering a consistent and predictable effect, all elements that the California consumer can appreciate.\"\n\n###  Tasting the Herve Macaron\n\n![Tasting the Herve cannabis macaron](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_51_14_PM_c1072bc5b0.png)\nTasting the Herve cannabis macaron\n\nI was able to order the $60 [Herve Celebration Four Box Bundle](https://shop.hervedibles.com/) from Herve's online website. The Celebration Bundle includes one box of each of the classic Hervé macaron, three packs (raspberry, salted caramel & Chocolate) with a free three-pack of Celebration macarons, Herve's award-winning birthday cake flavor. The delivery driver arrived at my doorstep early that evening with the macaron boxes on ice within two hours of placing my order online.\n\nThe white Herve box was a bit of a trick to open (let's face it, which child-proof cannabis product isn't?), but once I got the four boxes open, the sugary smell of the sweet macarons wafted upwards. What is most striking about the Herve macarons is just how pretty they are. The brushed gold leafing on top of the green, brown, and pink is sophisticated elegance, especially compared to other cannabis products I usually consume.\n\nEach cookie packs in 10mg of THC, which is around my outer limit for consumption - yes, I'm a cannabis lightweight and my preference with edibles is to have lower dosing, so I can eat multiples! As such, I set out with a strategy to try each macaron with a nibble to not exceed my cannabis tolerance. \n\n![Herve Pink Rasberry macaron](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_35_53_PM_7365bbff45.png)\nHerve Pink Rasberry macaron\n\nBiting into my first macaron, pink rasberry, I felt the light crunch of the outer shell and tasted a tinge almond flavor with a fruity sweetness from the filling, which was not overpowering. The Herve macaron balances the crisp crunchiness on the outside with the typical soft chewiness on the inside. \n\n![Herve Salted Caramel macaron](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_40_19_PM_5db6f7c978.png)\nHerve Salted Caramel macaron\n\nNext, I nibbled at the green Salted Caramel, which left a lovely sweet and salty taste in my mouth, \n\n![Herve Chocolate Ganache macaron](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_41_19_PM_adb55d5336.png)\nHerve Chocolate Ganache macaron\n\nfollowed by the delicate Chocolate Ganache, which was more sweet and less chocolatey than expected.\n\n![Herve Celebration Birthday Cake macaron](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_24_at_1_42_22_PM_c62f2d79ec.png)\nHerve Celebration Birthday Cake macaron\n\nLastly, I bit into the Celebration Birthday Cake,  topped with rainbow sprinkles that had a delightful crunch and pop in the mouth. The vanilla birthday cake flavor was definitely my favorite of the three - it tastes like a party in a box. I had to stop myself from eating all 3 macarons!\n\nAbout an hour later, I felt the THC kick in while watching the 4th Harry Potter movie (for the hundredth time). It was a clear, light high that produced a lovely euphoria and buzzy energy. The Sativa distillate felt like tapping a crystal glass with a fork - it was a pitch perfect high for my taste, one which might allow for a social evening out with friends. Herve macarons delivered a completely enjoyable evening on a silver platter and I am looking forward to a holiday season full of Herve gift-giving.\n\n### Shopping for Herve Macarons in California\nHerve macarons are available in dispensaries across California, but they also offer direct-to-consumer [shopping on their site](http://shop.herve.fr/). This option offers delivery to customers' homes throughout most of California, and within 4 hours of placing your order. \n\nHerve macarons are sold frozen (in dispensaries they are kept in freezers, for DTC they are delivered with ice packs) and the shelf life when frozen is 12 months. According to Cheyne Nadeau of Hervé, \"Our macarons are also tremendously stable and don't suffer from the traditional challenge of other frozen products. Unlike ice creams etc our macarons can be dethawed or refrigerated for even a few days and then frozen again without impacting the active ingredients or food safety of the product what-so-ever. We always recommend that our macarons be stored frozen and removed for 15-20 minutes to be enjoyed at their best of course.\"\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

For some people, though, the opposite happens, and that aromatic joint or tasty edible triggers an episode of [anxiety and paranoia](https://hellomd.ca/articles/how-to-stop-a-marijuana-induced-anxiety-attack). While the feeling may pass, it can be frightening and perplexing. \n\nIf you've ever wondered why marijuana has sent you reeling, we now have the answer! [Recent research on the effects of cannabis on the brain](https://www.healthline.com/health/marijuana-paranoia#risk-factors)\n reveals how and why THC, the mood-altering compound in cannabis, can cause deep relaxation as well as [extreme anxiety and paranoia](https://hellomd.com/articles/why-does-cannabis-cause-paranoia-for-some-people).  \n\n### THC: The 'Feel Good' Cannabinoid also Causes Anxiety\nThe cannabis [Sativa plant](https://hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-indica-sativa-and-hybrid-explained#:~:text=Sativa%20Marijuana%20Strains%20Impart%20Energizing,noticeable%20effects%20on%20mental%20activity.) contains more than a hundred compounds that affect the human brain and body. Many of these compounds haven't been thoroughly studied, but considerable research has been devoted to understanding the effects of the most famous of them all: delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC. \n\nTHC is the most well-known cannabinoid and the only one capable of producing mood-altering, psychoactive effects. This is due to the way it interacts with a complex network of cell receptors in our body called the [endocannabinoid system (ECS)](https://hellomd.com/articles/is-your-endocannabinoid-system-in-balance).\n\n### The Biphasic Effect of Cannabis on the Body\n\nSome medications have biphasic properties, which means that the effects at a low dose are the opposite of those at a high dose. THC is one of those substances which helps explain why cannabis can have relaxing, pleasant effects at a low or moderate dose, but at higher doses, THC can cause [anxiety, and paranoia](https://dualdiagnosis.org/marijuana-abuse/marijuana-paranoia/).  \n\nThe good news; some of the unpleasant effects caused by too much THC can be mitigated by consuming cannabidiol (CBD). That said, you may still have to wait until the THC works through your system, which may be several hours. To avoid this, consuming cannabis strains that have a high percentage of CBD relative to THC can reduce the risk of anxiety or similar side effects.\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-10-30 at 2.48.39 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_10_30_at_2_48_39_PM_f75c74b168.png)\n[Charlotte's Web](https://www.charlottesweb.com/thc-free-cbd-oil-25mg-cbd-1ml) sells CBD tinctures available throughout the United States\n\n### The Endocannabinoid System Controls Your Reaction to Cannabis\n\nThe human body contains a little-known, but essential system of cell receptors called the endocannabinoid system. The ECS is a critical key to maintaining balance among your body's many subsystems. The ECS receptors respond to cannabinoid compounds produced by the body and those from outside sources, mainly the cannabis plant.  Science has identified two main receptor types, CB1 and CB2, found in tissues throughout the body.\n\nThe brain is [rich in cannabinoid receptors](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-46215-7), especially CB1, the receptor directly activated by THC. Many CB1 receptors are located in areas of the brain related to pleasure and reward. In these areas, THC appears to support the expression of \"feel good\" chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, which inhibit negative responses like anxiety and fear. That makes it possible for people to feel relaxed, euphoric, and even sleepy when they use cannabis.\n\nBut not all brains are the same, and recent research indicates that [a person's response to cannabis](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4332941/) depends on the number of endocannabinoid receptors they have, and where those receptors are located in the brain.\n\nThe brain's frontal, or anterior, areas contain structures related to mood, cognition, and decision-making – \"executive functions\" that help people manage complex tasks and coordinate movement.  But the posterior area of the brain is home to the amygdala and limbic system, which regulate responses such as fear, anxiety, and other negative emotions. \n\nWhen a person has more cannabinoid receptors in the anterior structures of the brain, they're more likely to get the expected, pleasant \"high\" from cannabis. But suppose a majority of the brain's cannabinoid receptors are concentrated in the amygdala and other posterior regions. In that case, the THC in cannabis can ramp up activity in those areas, causing anxiety, paranoia, and even psychosis.\n\n### Your Predisposition Plays a Role to Your Reaction to Marijuana\n\nThe new research on the natural distribution of cannabinoid receptors in the brain indicates how [genetics play a significant role](https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/sns-tft-genes-cause-marijuana-paranoia-20190913-sqh4elyytjdmfmwauykbe35dny-story.html)\n in determining how cannabis may affect you. Studies found THC-rich cannabis is more likely to trigger an adverse reaction in people with certain mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorder or schizophrenia.\n\n![shutterstock_399643504-min.jpg](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/shutterstock_399643504_min_9f3d63489b.jpg)\n\n### Cannabis is More Potent than Your Parent's Weed\n\nAnother reason cannabis can cause anxiety and paranoia is that today's cannabis strains contain [stratospheric levels of THC](https://hellomd.com/articles/is-more-thc-better-when-it-comes-to-cannabis-strains). Although this may increase the appeal for people seeking a potent high, cannabis products with high doses of THC can also raise the risk of negative reactions. In the 1970s a typical joint might contain 6% THC, whereas today, an average joint may start at 18% THC - that's a big difference! The weed your parents smoked was way less potent than today's weed.\n\n### Dealing With Anxiety and Paranoia Caused by too Much THC\n\nIf you're completely new to cannabis, there's no way to predict how it might affect you. And even if you're a seasoned consumer, it's possible to have a bad experience.  But cannabis experts point out that there's a lot you can do to help yourself get through a difficult trip. \n\nHere are a few suggestions:\n\n- Take CBD which will help take the edge off \n- Stay in comfortable, familiar surroundings and find some calming activities  \n- Take deep breaths and remember this won't last for long\n- Put on some quiet music, or chat with a friend\n\nIt's important to remember that the anxiety and distress caused by cannabis isn't life-threatening, and will pass as the chemical leaves the body.\n\nCannabis can be the perfect companion for chilling at home or a gathering with friends, but the factors contributing to that pleasant high can also trigger unpleasant feelings. Knowing why that happens and what to do about it can help make your cannabis experience the best it can be.\n\n### Get Your Medical Card with HelloMD\n If you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) articles.

Why did the BC vape win the people's hearts and minds? It certainly has the highest potency, it's also a super-clean vape, and it has incredible flavor - all of these could be reasons why the Banana Creme Vape snatched the blue ribbon. \n\nBut we have another thought. We think it's due to Jetty's solventless extraction process breakthrough, a process developed in-house that allows for cannabis extraction with ice, water, heat, pressure, and all without chemicals and zero solvents. \n\nIt took over two years of experimentation and development to create the manufacturing technique. Jetty's co-founder Nate Ferguson says, \"Jetty mastered a natural purification process that removes the undesirable stuff that can mess with the flavor, while preserving everything we want to keep.\"  \n\nOnce again, Jetty pioneers its way through the California cannabis industry - this time with the industry's cleanest vape.\n\n### The History of Jetty Extracts\n\nIn 2013 the medical marijuana market in California was booming, and nascent cannabis brands were beginning to emerge in dispensaries across the state. Jetty Extracts was among the early handful of brands to make waves, and quickly they developed a cult-like following. From their humble beginning, Jetty set itself apart from the rest of the industry by focusing on clean cannabis, becoming obsessed with removing harmful chemicals from its vapes and cannabis products. At the time, this was novel; most consumers did not even consider that their cannabis product may be full of chemicals and dirty solvents. Jetty changed that.\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-10-19 at 12.27.23 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_10_19_at_12_27_23_PM_e05cf08b07.png)\nSince the start, the Founders of Jetty have been on a mission to provide clean and potent weed.\n\nAs a craft cannabis business, Jetty was (and still is) on a mission to create an artisanal cannabis brand that puts attention into sourcing the best cannabis, developing superior extraction methods, and creating access to the best products throughout the state. The result is a cannabis brand that prides itself on hand-crafted products free of chemicals, fillers, and pesticides.\n\n### Jetty Extract's CO2 Extraction Methods\n\nPrior to solventless extraction, Jetty set the bar high early on by extracting cannabis with a supercritical [CO2 extraction method](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U617i_Q56oc). CO2 extraction has become the go-to method for cleaner cannabis products in lieu of using solvents like butane, which leave a nasty chemical trail.\n\nButane is a hazardous way to extract weed, and research indicates that the final product will contain additives not suitable for humans. Jetty focused on CO2 extraction early on to create a cleaner, more consumer-friendly product. CO2 by nature is non-toxic; it is a natural waste product from human bodies and fermentation. As a redsult extracts made from CO2 are free of potential toxic or heavy metal residues that may be left behind by butane hash oil.\n\n### Jetty Extracts Helps the Chronically Ill \n\nSince 2014, [The Shelter Project](https://jettyextracts.com/blogs/stories/the-shelter-project-a-compassionate-legacy) has provided free and safe access to cannabis to people with chronic illnesses. The Shelter Project was a run-away success with California's medical marijuana patients, and Jetty quickly served hundreds of patients in need with medicine that was out of their reach financially. This was in many ways, why the [1996 Compassionate Care Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_California_Proposition_215#:~:text=Proposition%20215%2C%20or%20the%20Compassionate,testing%20for%20safety%20and%20efficacy.), or Prop 215, was initially signed into law - to help those in need.\n\nUnfortunately, when cannabis was given the green light for recreational use in California,  compassionate care programs were outlawed. \n\nAccording to Jetty's quick recap of the events,\n\n\"The legalization of cannabis for recreational use (Prop. 64) inadvertently made the operation of cannabis compassion programs virtually impossible. A multi-year effort to fix that flaw finally passed in 2019 (Senate Bill 34). \n\nImplementation of the new law took time and presented a new set of challenges. Among them is a regulation requiring all donated products to be shipped by Jetty to a licensed dispensary for patient pickup. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Harborside Oakland for participating in this pilot program. \n\nAfter navigating numerous logistics, compliance, and other regulatory challenges with the team at Harborside, a new path for expanding Shelter is now clear.\"\n\n### The 5 Best Jetty Extracts Cannabis Products\n\nJetty has a wide array of products to explore. Below we call out our favorites among their product lines.\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 12.18.35 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_10_18_at_12_18_35_PM_dc113496f5.png)\n\n### Jetty Solventless Vape: Strawberries and Creme\n\nThe [Strawberries and Creme](https://jettyextracts.com/collections/jetty-solventless-vape/products/strawberries-and-creme-solventless-cartridge-1g) solventless vape is the cleanest vape on the market today, made with ice, water, heat and pressure-and no chemical nasties. It has a light color to the oil and is purified for the highest potency, delivering an incredibly satisfying experience from beginning to end.\n\nThis vape has a sweet strawberry flavor profile that has an ice cream-like finish. It is also reminiscent of strawberry gummies and leaves a tart but sweet, summer raspberry taste on the tongue. This is an extremely potent vape, and although it is a Sativa, be prepared for a full-body high that may feel sedating. We loved the full-body relaxation but enjoyed the clear-headed focus.\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 12.26.30 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_10_18_at_12_26_30_PM_4ae592ef37.png)\n\n### Jetty Unrefined Live Resin: Cookie Frost Diamonds\n\n[Cookie Frost Diamonds](https://jettyextracts.com/collections/jetty-live-resin/products/cookie-frost-diamonds-concentrate-1g) is 100% live resin which Jetty cryoextracts to capture the essence of the plant.

We think this strain is extremely buzzy and a great choice for those who want to be energized through the day and into the night!\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 3.11.00 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_10_18_at_3_11_00_PM_f2ebe305d8.png)\n\n### Jetty Concentrates: Papaya Live Badder\n\nJetty outdid themselves with [Papaya Live Badder](https://jettyextracts.com/collections/jetty-concentrates/products/papaya-live-badder-concentrate-1g), a hybrid cross of Citral #13 and Ice #2. It's all the things you'd expect from the name - tropical, fruity, and sweet.

We are fans of Jetty concentrates, for their purity and potency, and Papaya had us all smiling.\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 3.00.36 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_10_18_at_3_00_36_PM_ce05cacd77.png)\n\n### Jetty Infused Pre-Rolls: Pineapple Express x Pina Colada\n\nThe tropical double combo of [Pineapple Express x Pina Colada](https://jettyextracts.com/collections/live-resin-infused-prerolls/products/pineapple-express-x-pina-colada-unrefined-live-resin-infused-preroll-3-pack-2-1g) in a pre-roll is an infused explosion of citrus and pineapple flavors.
