Now that many states are relaxing their laws regarding CBD, Delta-8 and THC products, there are many options for the smoker and imbiber to choose from. GSN recommends the following items for the high holidays!
Vessel Helix Onyx One-Hitter – This is one slick looking unit. We also like the cool touch of metal, plus the simplicty and aesthetic that make this piece a modern artistic statement. Small enough to fit in your pocket, this is a great tool to grab and go. Cleaning is simple and the unique design helps cool the smoke. We continue to be impressed with Vessel’s products, and this one is no exception. GSN Rating: A+
Loki Delta-8 Seltzer – A light and summery flavor profile with no sweetness, as it should be. The high is definitely milder than one from Delta-9-THC, which makes this perfect for a relaxing afternoon. There are 20mg of Delta-8, so you may want to start out by drinking just a few ounces and wait for 15-20 minutes to see how you feel. Dosing can be a little tricky. We would definitely suggest having no more than one can every 2-3 hours. All in all, a tasty beverage even if it didn’t have any psychoactive effects. GSN Rating: A-
KLAUS Mezzrole Cannabis-Infused Beverage – An interesting blend of grassy, spicey, tangy and salty flavors, the first thing you’ll notice however, is the cannibis forward nose. Smelling like a loaded bud, this is a curious beverage. Apparently based on a classic Ti’ Punch cocktail, the flavors are tropical and vibrant. What’s nice is that the entire affair is alcohol free, so no need to worry about mixing booze with your buzz. Speaking of which, the 10mg of THC can be pretty intense for newcomers, so take your time and slowly sip this beverage. If you find you you’ve arrived, save the rest for another time. It’s a deep and heady high which will lend a helping hand at the end of the day. GSN Rating: A-
Vessel Ember Ashtray – We like the weight of this ashtray, nearly 4.5 ounces. We also like the elegant simplicty of the design. It could be a museum piece. Vessel also makes a solid brass one, if you prefer a bit of bling. GSN Rating: A-
Flora Essence Hemp Spirit – Very light, with a lemony flavor hiding the somewhat astringent and bitter hemp taste. Very easy to drink, not at all sweet, and perfect for mixing with sparkling water. The CBD itself adds a mellow kick and creates a feeling of relaxation. You might try pouring some into an ice cube tray and use them in a glass of mineral water. We look forward to trying the Delta 8 when it is available in New York. GSN Rating: A-
