Initial Thoughts
I always enjoy having alternatives to smoking when I'm on the go and often I rely on edibles to help keep me mellowed out when I know I’m going to be away from home for a while. The main thing that I look for in edibles is consistent dosing and a good clean taste. I prefer the packages that have more pieces and less mg’s per piece because I have a sweet tooth and if I want to indulge in some cookies I’m going to want more than just one. This batch of Peanut Butter Cookies that I was able to grab at The Dispensary RVA in Richmond each contain 25 mg of hemp derived delta-8 THC making them the perfect potency to have more than one for dessert. I mean come on, you can't have just ONE peanut butter cookie with a glass of milk, right?
Appearance
Baked to a perfect golden brown. I know a fork was used to imprint the top pattern onto each cookie too because that’s how my mother showed me as a kid.
Status
My biggest complaint about baked goods as edibles is that they're usually brittle and overly crunchy. These cookies are the perfect medium between too gooey and hard - they're just right!
Aroma
Opening the jar and removing the freshness seal released the familiar smell of peanut butter, strong and fresh, along with a slight hint of cannabis. Frankly, they smelled as delicious as they would if I had just baked them myself.
Flavor
This recipe is dialed-in with the perfect amount of peanut butter and a sweet ‘n’ salty finish. It's not overpowering in terms of a "weedy" or vegetative taste and the only challenge was not consuming the whole jar at once.
Effects
My standard dosage for edibles is anywhere from 50-100mg. I figured I’d start in the middle with 75mg before heading out to run some errands. As I sat in the passenger seat on our way to the first destination I noticed my body feeling lighter and lighter. Getting out of the car and walking around town felt like I was gently floating along the sidewalk. They didn’t make me lazy or tired, and I never had an overwhelming heaviness begging me to sleep like a higher dosage of edibles might. Notably, it reduced my urge to use my vape pen, which I brought just in case. Next time, I know I can just leave it at home.
Conclusion
Having great alternatives, like these hemp-derived delta-8 Peanut Butter Cookies from The Dispensary RVA, is a great option considering the current state of MMJ in Virginia. At present, you can’t get any delta-9 (standard) THC baked goods through Medical dispensaries. This leaves the local recreational CBD retail shops as your only choice for procuring products like these and makes the The Dispensary RVA my go to place. Their staff is super knowledgeable with a friendly and helpful vibe and they're ready assist across all experience levels.
