Avexia Ascend High THC 2.5 mg Tablets

Avexia produces medicinal cannabis products formulated from sustainably sourced ingredients. Their tablet product line features micro-dosing tablets, some including CBD, that provide a discreet way to relieve stress, anxiety, and pain. The Ascend Tablets feature a hybrid strain, and each tablet contains 2.5mg THC, with no CBD.

Appearance 4/5
Avexia Ascend Tablets are packaged in a generic-looking pill bottle. The tablets are deep red in color, and have no stamps, or markings. The benefit of this type of packaging is that these tablets can be taken discreetly, with no fuss whatsoever.

Aroma 5/5
Upon opening the bottle, I was immediately met with the strong scent of cannabis. It was a pungent aroma, with heavy herbal notes. The aroma was much more intense than other Avexia tablets. I can’t really say enough about the aroma. Based on the smell alone, I was excited to taste these tablets, and feel the effects.

Taste 4/5
Like other tablets by Avexia, the Ascend Tablets have the texture of chewable vitamins. The flavor is that of strong cannabis, mixed with a light fruit flavor. It has a very rich taste. The only negative to eating this product is the gritty texture left on the tongue after chewing the tablets.

Effect 3/5
I chewed six tablets, and waited for the effects to kick in. It took some time, but around the two-hour mark, I felt a mild body high. After smelling the strong scent of the product, I was expecting a little bit more of an effect, to be honest. However, my mind was completely alert, and I didn’t feel drowsy at all. Mostly, I just felt mild relaxation and lightness throughout my body.

Product price: $35 for 40 x 2.5 mg tablets 

I was moderately satisfied with the Avexia Ascend Tablets. I was hoping to receive more of a head and body high from the tablets, but maybe this could be achieved with a higher dose. Something I do like about the Avexia brand of tablets, is that each tablet is a 2.5mg microdose. This allows the user to accurately adjust the dosage, until they find the ideal amount that works for them.

Purchasing and trying the Avexia Ascend Tablets was a good experience. I feel like the budtenders at the dispensary accurately described the differences between the Avexia products. While I would have liked to feel a stronger high from taking the tablets, the overall feeling was pleasant. I like the microdose concept behind the Avexia tablets, and would be willing to try other varieties in the future.

NuMed makes it their mission to provide Chicago with a professional and compassionate approach to cannabis purchase and consumption. Their adult-use menu provides a variety of edibles, RSO, vapes, and concentrates. Something I appreciate greatly, is the fact they update their menu in real-time, so whatever is available online, most likely will be available when users get to the store.

While it’s not as roomy as other Chicago dispensaries, there is enough seating to keep guests comfortable, as they wait to see the budtenders. From the door staff to the budtenders, all staff members seemed friendly and welcoming.
