3 Weed Products Comedian Jocelyn Chia Can’t Live Without

Since leaving her career as a corporate lawyer to pursue stand-up comedy, Jocelyn Chia has made a name for herself in the spotlight. Hailing from Singapore until a move brought her to the US aged 19, Chia’s dreams have led to her international comedic success. Now her comic book criminal record continues to grow and includes some impressive accomplishments. She was a 2016 Ladies of Laughter contest winner, guest hosted on MTV’s Uncommon Sense With Charlamagne tha God, and opened for Bill Burr at NYC’s West Side Comedy Club in September 2021—to name a few.

And comedy has always been in her blood. Speaking to Mumble Comedy in 2019, Chia felt encouraged and her comedic spark blossomed from a program called She Creates For Change, sharing, “At the end of the program we had a ‘calling party’ where all the women got into a semi-circle , and a woman would sit in the middle. Each then exclaimed what they felt was their calling based on what they knew about them. When it was my turn, someone said, “Jocelyn, you’re so so so funny. Every time you say something, I wait for people to laugh, and they always do. I want to see you do stand-up comedy.’ And that’s how it all started.”

Since the start of the COVID lockdowns in 2020, Chia was introduced to cannabis by a friend who worked in the industry: “She took me on my very first trip to the dispensary and I got high from my for the first time that night Head…I’ve been taking edibles ever since.”

your favorites? Anything with a good CBD:THC ratio: “Personally, I take it to relax my muscles when I get back and jaw pain. I love the THC:CBD combinations. My doctor said adding a touch of THC to CBD products seems to make it more effective as it somehow makes the brain more receptive to the effects of CBD.”

Chia even fell in love because of cannabis — well, sort of. “I actually thought I had fallen in love for the first time in my life, but it turns out it was just cannabis – not love. I was on a date with this guy and he offered me an edible that was supposed to be very bland,” she shared. “That was in NYC, where weed was legalized but not yet available for distribution, and he said [it] was more of a CBD [edible] as he could just buy it at the corner shop and it wasn’t regulated. So I took two! Well, that night while I was making out, I got so high I thought I must fall in love. I had never been this high in my entire life but it really made me open up to him about myself and my life and what I wanted in a relationship and it was an intense bonding experience. The next day I asked about the F what I took the night before – it was this product called Delta-8 which seems to have escaped regulation so far but can get you really high.”

Chia is in the middle of her West Coast tour and is delivering her stand-up for the first time in Los Angeles. Aside from that, you can see her performing regularly in New York, with countless stand-up dates to come.
