(We\u2019ll also let you in on some hidden gems).<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It was mere months ago that I used this column to tout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2021\/08\/24\/best-vape-pen-denver-seed-smith-dart\/\">my favorite vape pen<\/a>. I went so far as to tell you, dear readers, that my preferred way to consume cannabis was by vaporizing it.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, however, I\u2019ve had numerous reasons to take a break from smoking weed, including a mild case of COVID-19 last September and another close call when my husband contracted the virus in December. While I still love my Seed &amp; Smith vape pen \u2013 it\u2019s seriously the only one I use \u2013 these breaks have inspired me to embrace another form of cannabis: edibles.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2022\/04\/14\/colorado-edibles-cbg-cbn-rapid-onset\/\">Marijuana edible trends: Where to find rapid onset and CBG\/CBN gummies in Colorado<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Everyone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2021\/11\/11\/chelsea-handler-cannabis-edibles-colorado\/\">including comedian Chelsea Handler<\/a>, has a story about eating too much THC and feeling uncomfortably or uncontrollably high. For the most, this was my experience with edibles, be it gummies, chocolate, taffy, what have you. Simply put, 10 milligrams was too much for me to ingest at once.<\/p>\n<p>Then I tried Coda Signature\u2019s line of Fruit Notes, which comes in the traditional, 10-milligram serving size and also a lower dose of 5 milligrams of THC. The latter is what changed my perspective and transformed me into an edibles evangelist.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related right\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>When Fruit Notes debuted in 2019, Coda Signature touted them as vegan, gluten-free, made with real fruit and \u201clightly dusted with an infused sugar that is blended with whole spices and aromatics,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/codasignature.com\/press-release\/coda-signature-launches-fruit-notes-in-colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announcement<\/a>. They are currently available in <a href=\"https:\/\/codasignature.com\/product_cat\/fruit-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six flavors,<\/a> including cucumber-lychee, mango-chili-lime and cherry-sarsaparilla. Don\u2019t get me wrong: They are delicious. But the reason I love them is because these gummies offer just the right amount of high.<\/p>\n<p>While everyone is different, Coda\u2019s gummies tend to elevate my spirits without adding a mental fog. It\u2019s more giggles than lethargy, more of a subtle boost than a slap-you-across-the-face stoned. And because they\u2019re low-dose, I can eat another one a few hours later without worrying about a next-day weed hangover. (Trust me, it\u2019s happened.)<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re still on the fence about edibles, give Coda a try. In April, the Denver-based company released new, fast-acting or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2022\/04\/14\/colorado-edibles-cbg-cbn-rapid-onset\/\">rapid onset<\/a> gummies, so you feel the effects within 15 to 20 minutes. Just remember, start slow and work your way up. It\u2019s even easier when taking 5 milligrams at a time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/newsletter-signup\/in-the-know\">Subscribe to our weekly newsletter, In The Know, to get entertainment news sent straight to your inbox.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"media_block\"><\/div>\n<p>These gummies turned our reporter into an edibles evangelist. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5062,52,8365,6811,2435,7938,4995,77,7816,6853,6815,9,5019,6845,7447,1,3,18,7072,6923,61,1736],"tags":[5063,2632,8368,6816,2436,7939,4996,2655,7818,6854,6820,5022,6846,7452,2622,7073,6924],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9486"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9486\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
