While MariMed imprint brand Nature’s Heritage has been on shelves for a while now, the label has recently started expanding its portfolio with new hardware and formulations. I recently stopped at Ash and Ivy Dispensary in Benton and picked up a Nature’s Heritage Strawberry Jelly Live Resin Vape Cart to review.

Strawberry Jelly is an indica-leaning hybrid cross of Strawberry Pie and Grape Cream Cake F2. This half-gram live resin vape tested at 0.12% CBD, 3.25% THCa, 75.16% THC, and 84.2% total cannabinoids. Terpenes were 4.27% of the total weight with β-myrcene, β-caryophyllene, and limonene indicated as the heaviest.

Slightly shorter and fatter than a standard 510-cylinder vape, this hardware was all glass. The chunky tank and glass core combined with an all-in-one style glass mouthpiece to create a clean and modern visual appeal. The pale-straw yellow, slow-moving oil inside was transparent from every angle, reinforcing the sleek look. While compatible with any 510 battery, the all-glass Strawberry Jelly performed best at low temperatures, providing smaller hits than a stainless-steel-based vape.

Clean and natural at the top, the vape provided flavors of fresh, barely ripened strawberries, cooking berry jam, and pears with greener undertones of grape leaves and wet cut grass. The overall profile was delicate and required some repeated exploration to fully identify. The sweet berry jam tone was surprisingly sticky, clinging to the palate for more than five minutes after each session.

The mental come-up was as subtle as the flavor with a clearheaded, serene headspace tamping down anxieties and providing an optimistic boost.  The physical profile was heavier, building from a vague all-over muscle relaxation to a heavy indica-style blanket of pressure at the peak. Keeping dosages low allowed me to tap into the mental clarity during the day, while heavier seshes gave me access to the stronger physical relief when focus wasn’t an issue.
