Honey Sweet Melon

Mindy’s Honey Sweet Melon 2mg 1:1 Gummies are honeydew and cantaloupe flavored gummies, with a touch of honey. They contain 2mg THC and 2mg CBD each, and come in a bag of 20 for a total of 40mg THC and 40mg CBD.

Chef Mindy Segal works with Cresco Labs to produce her line of vegetarian, non-GMO, naturally-flavored edibles. In addition to gummies, Mindy’s line includes fruit chews, hard candies, and chocolate.

Appearance 5/5
These gummies are the color of a perfectly ripe cantaloupe. They are small, about ½” in diameter and slightly shorter than they are wide. The gummies have round ribbing around the edges that nicely showcases the sugar crystals on the outside.

They are packaged in a small ziplock bag. Mindy’s logo is elegant, and the peach and minty lime green graphics on the bag are soothing. To meet packaging standards, this bag has a three-way zip lock that can be frustratingly hard to open.

Aroma 5/5
The sweet, smooth aroma of Mindy’s Honey Sweet Melon smells like cream and honey. There are more tart notes to the aroma, as well, which remind me of green Jolly Ranchers. The aroma also reminds me of Peeps, probably because the melon aroma is so smooth it reminds me of marshmallows. The scent of these gummies is really enjoyable, and it makes my nose tingle.

Taste 5/5
As usual, with Mindy’s gummies, I was most impressed by the flavor. It is summed up in the name, Honey Sweet Melon, but that description doesn’t do it justice.

The flavors are cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and honey, but these gummies capture the flavor of perfectly ripe melons in a way that makes them taste fresher than most fresh cut melon from the store. The notes of honey give the sweetness a complexity that is very intriguing.

Effect 4/5
After eating one of these gummies, I felt a slight relaxation almost immediately. It made me feel calm and melted away the tension in my body. Two hours later, I felt slightly drowsy and disoriented with a slight headache, but after I came down, all of these symptoms went away completely.

Since these gummies are only 2mg THC and 2mg CBD, their effects aren’t particularly strong, and one or two of these wasn’t enough to get me high. But I don’t think 2mg gummies are for getting high for most people. I think they help take the edge off of stress and anxiety, and at that, they work well.

Product price: $26.87 

For people who don’t enjoy the taste of cannabis in their edibles, Mindy’s 2mg gummies are a great choice because they do not taste like cannabis at all. They are also good for people who want a low-dose edible. I recommend anyone who is eating two or three of these gummies, to try Mindy’s 5mg gummies, which are equally good.

Between Mindy’s 2mg gummies with and without the CBD, I recommend those with the CBD. I think it adds a nice layer of relaxation to the high. I love Mindy’s gummies, and I definitely felt the benefit of the 2mg CBD, in addition to the THC. 

These gummies taste so good, I would buy them just as candy without the cannabis.

Over the last almost five months, Sunnyside Lakeview has improved its service quite a bit. I went from waiting in line for five hours in a for-lease building at the beginning of January, to being able to purchase a wide variety of products, and be in and out in 25 minutes. 

They have recently improved their online ordering system, as well, by allowing customers to add items to their cart at times other than during the submission window, and by automatically removing items from the cart that are out of stock. They have also separated the capsules from the edibles in the menu. 

Although they have been out of pre-rolls and/or flower many days over the last few weeks, they have been doing a good job at keeping a few items on the menu most days. They haven’t been well-stocked since the week before 4/20. 

But what made the service at Sunnyside particularly good was that they surprised me for making up for their mistake last time. 

Last time, the budtender didn’t give me a vape battery, even though I ordered it online and confirmed that I wanted it. I realized this when I got home, and emailed customer support, but I never heard anything back. This time, I once again included the vape battery in my order, and after the budtender confirmed my order, he looked at the screen, whispered something to a manager, and the price of the battery was removed from my bill. 

This shows that they understand that frustrating customers is an unsustainable business practice, and they are putting effort into giving their customers a good experience.
