PLUS gummies rating

If you like weed, gummy bears are an invaluable and inevitable resource, especially out here on the west coast. I’m a flowery type, which basically means I still mostly dig a good old-fashioned analog joint. But I often resort to gummy bears – perhaps more so than any other edible product on the modern legal market – because they are undeniably convenient for discreet use and precise dosing. When used in the right situation, a good gummy bear can deliver the optimal high, but only if it’s a quality product. If it’s below par, a gummy bear can leave you with either a frustratingly weak or extremely uncomfortable experience.

Because of this, PLUS is a brand I keep coming back to whenever I want to stock up on edibles. I first came across PLUS when I noticed the attractive cans on display in one of my pharmacies in Santa Ana. They had a great store layout and I was always drawn to PLUS.

Apart from the HI-CUBES line, the PLUS gummies never exceed 5 milligrams of THC per gummy bear. At first glance, this may not sound ideal for heavy, high-dose consumers. But reliability and consistency are king in the gummy bears world, and PLUS delivers on both fronts. To get the best experience, all you need to do is get the right number of gummy bears for yourself. If you’re more of a lightweight, you can count on a PLUS gummy bear to do the trick every time.

For this review, we’re going to be looking at the Limited Edition Pride Rainbow Sherbet, Sleep Cloudberry, and CBNRelief Lychee from PLUS.

First impressions

PLUS always presents its products in modern, practical, appropriately friendly and easily accessible packaging. Most of the gummy bears in the PLUS line are available in round, silver-plated plastic jars with a solid, functional screw cap.

The taste, dosage (both total and per gum) are clearly visible and appropriately highlighted on the lid of the can, while the bottom has neat portion size and ingredient information, as well as a sticker with the batch number and expiration date.

It is neat, uncomplicated packaging that I prefer by far to the plastic bags with resealable zippers that are more common in the industry. Some other brands in the market offer some versions of the round jar for rubber packaging, but I find the PLUS jars to be easier to open than most without compromising resealability. The containers are small enough to be a reasonable pocket size and large enough to hold 20 bite-sized gummy bears in one layer. At an average of $ 16 per pack on Weedmaps, PLUS is more than a reasonable price for a reliable 5 milligram gum.

Limited Edition Pride Rainbow Sherbet rubbers

It’s a shame these festive Pride Month gummies are a limited edition product as they make a standout addition to PLUS ‘line of THC gums.

taste

The cubes are an incredibly pleasant assortment of creamy swirling colors, and the taste and texture of the outer coating reminded me a lot of those Creme Savers that Life Savers used to make. Do you remember that? However, all of this makes for a wonderfully unique, yet recognizable gummy bear experience.

effectiveness

I mainly consume 13-18% THC flowers and hemp every day, which means that my THC tolerance, although not fully exhausted, is relatively high. I decided to take four gummy bears (20 milligrams of THC) to test the effects of this product on a weekday at home in front of the TV.

If you’re not a frequent user, your THC tolerance is moderate to low, or if it’s your first time trying PLUS products, exercise due diligence and follow PLUS’s serving instructions: start with a 5 milligram gum, then wait 90 minutes to feel the full effects before taking more.

Experience

As for the shape and taste of my experience, let me say right up front that these rubbers were pretty much ideal. I noticed the onset about an hour after consuming it, and by the time the mild full-body buzz and thick head high were fully visible, I was prepared for a reasonably smooth and indelibly powerful ride for the remainder of the evening.

Sometimes with edibles there is this dance that you have to do in your head between panicking a bit from the intensity and indulging in the extended “boom pow” headspace so you can enjoy the ride as intended. Even at the peak of the high, I felt a noticeable moderation in THC jitter and found myself comfortably humming on a jazzy, hypersensory register.

Sleep cloudberry gums

If you’re looking for a gummy bear that will help you fall asleep without knocking you out, you should try PLUS’s sleep cloudberry gummies. I took this home with me on another night when I wanted to get a good night’s sleep for a trip the next day.

taste

These gums had a more traditional gummy texture, color, and taste than the Pride Rainbow Sherbet. For me the taste registered itself as a pleasant combination of citrus, berry and pomegranate.

effectiveness

I took them a little earlier in the evening, which initially worried me because I didn’t necessarily want to fall asleep at eight at night. Fortunately, the Sleep Cloudberry’s 5: 1: 1 THC: CBD: CBN ratio was the right mix to help me stay up and relax for as long as I wanted while also helping me fall asleep quickly when I was ready was.

I took four gummy bears for a total of 20 milligrams of THC, 4 milligrams of CBD, and 4 milligrams of CBN. Always start with one and wait 60 to 90 minutes if you’re new to these products.

Experience

The gummy bear provided a great body high and a “night indica” effect that was rooted in the back of the head and spine, but was clearly noticeable along the entire edge. Overall, I would describe it as a really full bodied, highly relaxing experience. If you’re looking for something that will get you to sleep right away, this may not be for you – although if you’re a light user and take it an hour to a few minutes before bedtime, it will likely be enough. For me it was a great nightly gummy bear for a nice, relaxed evening at home that ends sufficiently sleepy.

CBNRelief Lychee rubbers

PLUS ‘CBNRelief Lychee Gums are something you would visit just for sleeping and sleeping.

taste

The lychee taste has a pleasant, subtle, aromatic acidity that matches the vibe of the 3: 2: 1 CBD: CBN: THC ratio.

effectiveness

To test its effects, I took four gummy bears about an hour and a half before going to bed with a total of 12 milligrams of CBD, 8 milligrams of CBN and 4 milligrams of THC. Although both CBD and CBN are valued for their potential to help you fall asleep, the exact nature and extent of their sedative powers is not yet known.

Experience

One thing is certain, at least in my experience – CBD and CBN have a special way of calming the nerves and boiling the senses to help the mind and body. By nature, these gums did not offer a pre-sleep high like the Sleep Cloudberry, but they did have the same instant sleep-inducing effect as soon as I lay my head down.

Bottom line

If you have been frustrated with gummy bears because you either delivered too little or too much, I highly recommend PLUS. I find his THC gums equally suitable for a lighted day or a relaxed night, and his sleep-oriented gums were effective without making me dizzy the next day.

In my experience, PLUS delivers the experience it advertises, be it through a reliable 5 milligram THC gum that promises a unique creamy taste, or a CBD relief gum that provides adequate sleep-inducing rest.
