America's Tastiest Gummy Bears of Summer 2024
The Ultimate US Guide to Solvent-Free Gummy Bears 2024
I've been on the gummy bear trip for a long time, Leafly Nation, and I've experienced my fair share of flops and fabulous treats – from cup winners that sent me to the moon to oily, gelatin-based trips that barely registered. I've found that regardless of the consistency, nanotechnology, or flavor, the best indicator of your gummy bear experience is how the weed inside is processed. And the best extraction method by far is rosin.
In dab communities, rosin (call it hash, call it hashish rosin, call it whatever you want—you know what I mean.) solventless cannabis extraction isn't the most efficient, but it keeps all the terpenes, noids, and entourage compounds intact to elevate you way beyond distillate oil. I've scoured coast to coast for the best versions of rosin and hash-based gummies for all of you to make the most of these last weeks of summer.

Cannabis brands have long struggled with how to make a product stand out on crowded dispensary shelves. How to make a new product stand out when almost all the bags are full of bangers doesn't seem to be a problem for Kiva. They have awards, word of mouth, and multi-state sales to prove that people buy what they put in them, from espresso beans to mints to their ever-expanding line of gummy bears and chews. I've tried dozens of Kiva products now and keep coming back to this one, especially the high-THC variety offered here, which keeps you in a good mood and keeps you away from too many cravings.

You think Simone Biles won Olympic gold in Paris by resting on her laurels? No, she worked even harder to be better than before. Edible brand Camp has done the same, working on their popular resin-based gummies to make them more potent, flavorful, and versatile. So now they're made with rosin! Consumers can choose from three flavors – orange, blackberry, and peach – to enhance the mirages they see in the Nevada desert.

Even across multiple states, Massachusetts-based Suncrafted Cannabis Co. beat out all licensed gummy makers to win gold at the 2024 NECANN Cannabis Awards in Boston earlier this year with their Blue Raspberry Rosin gummies. They also won several awards for their solventless concentrates, proving that the proof is truly in the solventless pudding.
Maine

While Maine isn't the most conveniently located hash mecca, it's worth the trip. The Pine Tree State has an abundance of trees, and they know how to press them. Landrace Hash Co makes strain-specific rosin “jewels” because the edible experience is so valuable. And the strains they choose are elite, including Pineapple GMO and Waterlemon Road Dawg.
Michigan

Michigan leads the Midwest in product innovation, and Sauce's Rosin Gummies are proof that they continue to push the boundaries. Imagine pulling a slice off the old record, because these come packaged as a giant 200mg THC gummy bear that you can split into as many or as few pieces as you can tolerate.
Maryland
SunMed + Airo Oria Live Rosin Gums

SunMed is one of the largest cultivation operations in Maryland and one of the few that specializes exclusively in sun-grown cannabis. Their relatively “crunchy” approach results in flavorful flower that doesn't sacrifice potency—and by extension, edibles that offer consumers more than anything else. This collaboration with vaporizer brand Airo brings consumers a citrus and blackberry gummy called “Black Mamba” for an edible experience that's instantly mind-blowing.
Oregon

Sometimes a single gummy bear is all you need – a giant, potent gummy bear. Happy Cabbage makes regular-dose gummy bears, but is known for its BLOX, 100 mg of rosin-based THC in delicious, fruity flavors like Passion Orange Guava (Sativa) and Midnight Melon (Indica). Plus, they're vegan, gluten-free, and low in sugar to suit different dietary needs.

It's hard to stand out in one of the oldest cannabis markets in the country, but Canyon Cultivation has done it. Their expanded list of “gummies” includes three new flavors: Paradise Punch, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Blue Raspberry, all with a live rosin formulation.

The Show Me State is still in the infancy of its recreational cannabis industry. Edible brand Honeybee makes many delicious flavors of their vegan gummies and has now added two solvent-free SKUs to the lineup. Available in Tangerine Dream and Strawberry Basil Mojito flavors, these rosin-infused drops contain just 5mg of THC each, so you can snack on as many or as few as you can handle.

The more cannabis knowledge that crosses state lines, the better off all cannabis lovers and medical patients will be. Marijuana Farms of New York, or MFNY, has taken some examples from California in its small-batch, artisanal approach to flower, prerolls, concentrates, and edibles. Their line of vegan gummies combines strains with the flavonoids in their fruit-based flavors—the cherry gummies, for example, pair best with Poddy Mouth's spicy terpenes.

The Big Sky State wants to be known as the Big High State. Its recreational industry is bringing more and more enticing products and formulas to market. Cannabis Counter has expanded its gummy product line in two ways, both made with real rosin and with enhanced absorption. Consumers can choose between strain-specific gummies like Papaya Bars or a more effect-based approach with options like sleep and focus.

Verano gets credit from me for its new brand of solventless products, including vapes, concentrates, and gummies, called On the Rocks for its no-nonsense approach. Their rosin gummies offer full-spectrum effects in flavorful flavors like peach mango and sour apricot apple, the latter of which won third place at the 2023 Illinois High Times Cup.
