After reviewing the strain-specific Citrus Spritz Live Resin Gummies, Pineapple Live Resin Gummies, and Strawberry Lemonade Live Resin Gummies from Lost Farm, I decided to try the Blueberry Live Resin Chews I picked up from Sunnyside Champaign.

The Blueberry Live Resin Chews were listed as sativa and infused with the strain Durban Poison. The 10 pack of gummies contained 10mg of live-rosin derived THC each. The individually wrapped fruit chews were three-quarters by three-quarters inch and a half-inch wide, reminiscent to the size of a Starburst. The texture was slightly softer than a Starburst and similar to a soft taffy that melts after several chews.

The pouch smelled like a blueberry taffy bin, and the flavor hit with an artificial blueberry that started with a ripe, almost tart blueberry that quickly transitioned to a sweeter and creamier version of blueberries, which did a good job of masking the cannabis flavor. I prefer the individually wrapped chews to the gummies because they are easier to handle, and while out or at a party, I can carry the wrapped chews in my pocket or smaller bag without dealing with the stickiness of gummies.

The full-spectrum chews were labelled sativa, but for some reason, I found them less energetic and clearheaded high than the Citrus Spritz and Pineapple gummies. At smaller doses, the buzz was more functionable and relatively clearheaded. Though the onset for edibles is extremely faster for me than other medical patients, these chews took some time to kick in. As with the live-resin gummies, the body buzz came in waves, especially in the extremities, and once the full buzz settled in at the core, the muscle relaxations intensified, ending in a heavy-blanket feeling. With the chews and the gummies, I consistently enjoy a good night’s sleep.

The ingredients included tapioca syrup, sugar, water, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, natural blueberry flavor, freeze dried blueberry powder, citric acid, agar, sucrose, locust bean gum, sodium citrate, mono- and diglycerides, potato starch, cannabis extract, soy lecithin, corn starch, silicon dioxide.
