Chocolate Bars

Lewis Goldstein from INSA shared,
“We just recently launched our four new 100 milligram chocolate bars.” INSA has a master chocolatier that has been brought on to assist in the creation of these chocolate bars. Flavors include milk chocolate, strawberry cheesecake, double caramel sea salt, and dark mint. They launched in the beginning of February and cost about $30.

Fruit Chews

Goldstein added, “We are coming out with a line of all-natural puree fruit chews.” The chews will have one designed for sleep that will include melatonin, while another will be a lower dose THC, but also includes caffeine— “If you’re going out and doing something active like hiking,” said Goldstein. The fruit chews will have all new flavors with a regular 5 mg of THC. Some chews will have a mixture of a certain amount of CBD and THC, assisting those who may not like as much THC, but enjoy the effects of CBD. Chews cost $30 and will be launching the second week of April.

Dart X

Another up-and-coming product to be released by INSA is called the “Dart X”. This is a vaporizing device that will have settings to control the amount of heat, coming in four different colors. Cost is about $20. Goldstein explained, “People use cannabis for different reasons. Some people use it to sleep, for medical, and some use it socially.” With the Dart X, people will be able to consume their cannabis through vaporizing. This is one of the top selling vaporizing products in the country.

Theory

Chocolate Bars

Similarly, Theory has a few products that customers can look forward to. Thomas Winstanley of Theory shared, “We are launching chocolate bars which is not necessarily something that we’ve created in-house previously.” The chocolate bars have been created through the assistance and work of a chocolatier along with a professional chef. Winstanley said there are about five or six different types of bars, including crispy mint, standard dark chocolate, chipotle chili, caramel macchiato, and lemon ginger. “We all love chocolate. This allowed us to go into a different area where we have now built out a full chocolate line in our facility,” Winstanley added. Theory will be offering full sized bars and singular, smaller chocolate squares. 

HI-5

Winstanley said, “Probably the most exciting and the biggest project that we have coming out is a new brand inside Theory Wellness called HI-5.” HI-5 is one of the first cannabis infused seltzers on the East Coast. He went on to say, “With standard edibles, you eat an edible and it takes about 45 minutes or longer to feel the effects. This is actually very different. With HI-5, you’re going to actually feel the effects of the drink in about five minutes.” (Hence the name). Theory has partnered with a tech firm, working behind the scenes, discreetly, for about two years now on this project. The drink itself has zero calories, all-natural flavors and 5 mg of THC. HI-5 is now available for purchasing. You can purchase a singular can or a five pack, going for a few bucks per can.

3 Dog Giesel

Canna Provisions has many exciting products with the first being a flower. The company said, Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski, Director of Cultivation for Canna Provisions, has launched 3 Dog Giesel. 3 Dog Giesel is part of the launch line of Chemdog flower (who hand-picked and grew the strains himself) through the Smash Hits Brand created in partnership with Canna Provisions. “This is an Original Chem Diesel cut from back in the day crossed with a Tres Dawg male,” Canna Provisions explained. Seeds from that Giesel are a cross of Mass Super Skunk and Original Chem D. So, with the formulation of Original Chem Diesel, TresDawg and Giesel, 3 Dog Giesel was created. This product comes in citrus and sweet orange peel flavors, along with a deep skunky flavor that can be recognized as gas or white pepper. Canna Provisions warns consumers, as this product can really pack a punch! Product is sold exclusively at both Canna Provisions locations. 

1906 Drops

The second product offered by Canna Provisions is an edible called 1906 Drops. “Think: six plant-based experiences aimed at thoughtful formulations combining THC and CBD and plant-based adaptogens and herbs. The result? Drops for swallowing that are designed to be discreet and familiar (i.e.: people know pills), but also mobile and fits in your pocket,” said Canna Provisions. 1906 Drops are vegan and gluten-free, as well as zero calories. After taking a drop, it takes about 20 minutes or less to have any effects—making it one of the fastest-acting edibles there is.

Levia

The third and final product introduced by Canna Provisions is a drink called Levia. Levia has been created to be the “best tasting social sizzler ever,” stated Canna Provisions. The drink itself has all-natural ingredients and 5 mg of THC per can. Levia’s effects work fast and result in absolutely no hangover. This is a great social drink!
