In my days behind the dispensary counter, the complaint I heard most was about the lack of sugar free options, especially within a medical context. It’s been almost five years since, but the list of options hasn’t expanded much. Craft label OGeez!, though, has stepped up to the challenge with its Sugar Free Tropical gummies.

OGeez! Sugar Free Tropical gummies come as a 10 pack of gummies with 10mg of THC per piece. The ingredients were maltitol syrup, distilled water, natural flavors, gelatin, carnauba wax, citric acid, calcium lactate, natural color, cannabis extract, monk fruit, carmine, and terpenes.

A third-of-an-inch thick and exactly an inch at the longest point, each gummy was shaped like a teardrop. Translucent pink, orange, and red for watermelon guava, passion fruit mango, and strawberry kiwi respectively, the gummies were vibrantly colored with a smooth, slightly sticky exterior. Soft and squishy, the gummies provided a moist, bouncy chew.

All three flavors were only lightly sweetened, allowing the natural-fruit flavors to shine. The Watermelon Guava was the lightest of the three, initially providing a hit of tropical bite of guava and pineapple before rounding out into a smooth but vague watermelon flavor on the finish. Strawberry Kiwi was tangy but carried a deep full body kiwi note that stuck to the palate. Passion Fruit Mango was the most natural with a vaguely sweet top end with a clear ripe mango note bringing in the finish. The cannabis infusion was completely hidden in all three flavors.

While the package said sativa, the gummies provided a heavier buzz than I anticipated. After roughly 40 minutes, a dreamy daze took over my headspace, leaving me relaxed but spaced out at the peak. The physical buzz followed a less direct up-and-down pattern opening with a wave of euphoric tingles emanating from my core before crashing into a heavy all-over weighted-blanket muscle pressure. The physical pressure outlasted the headchange, providing body relaxation for more than two hours.
