In the days before legalization, edibles had one purpose—getting you as high as possible. Now, thanks to more understanding about cannabinoids and marketing, consumers can find edibles for sleep, focus, energy, stress, and a laundry list of other specific effects. NuEra’s new Midweek Friday label has jumped on this trend with new Energize gummies. I recently stopped into nuEra Urbana and picked up a sample to review.

Midweek Friday Energize Gummies come as a ten-pack of gummies with 10mg of THC per piece. The ingredients are cane sugar, glucose, water, gelatin, citric acid, ascorbic acid, tangerine oil, beta-carotene, D-Limonene, α-Pinene, β-Pinene, β-Caryophyllene, green tea extract, B12, and cannabis concentrate.

Ten small inch-wide electric-orange cubes stuck together at the bottom of the bag, each one no bigger across than the tip of my thumb when pulled apart. Very squishy to the touch, and the gummies had a “juiciness” to the mouthfeel. The flavor was a straightforward shot of orange peel heavy citrus from start to finish.

Midweek Friday Energize Gummies moved at a standard pace, picking up my energy levels and making me talkative by the hour mark. This uplifting mental space was accompanied by a tingling euphoric buzz concentrated in my arms and legs. The energetic peak from these gummies was short lived, and by the second hour a more traditional floating sensation had spread into my body followed by a relaxed, slightly unfocused state of mind.
