Finally – an edible that sounds like a winner!!! This is an older review from Thanksgiving…seems like IE420Patient chose the right event for this medicine.
Submitted By: IE420Patient (Member and Editor)
Camera Used: Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Name: Med-Strips (2-PK) (Edible)
From: South Coast Patient Center (Dispensary – Santa Ana)
Grade: A-
Type: Sativa
Price: $16 for 2
Looks: Like any other typical medical dissolve strip. These were about an inch long, green in color. Texture is like a fruit roll-up.
Smell: N/A
Taste: This has some serious concentration of THC … very strong. It’s like chewing on a piece of hash. The taste stays with you for a long time. Well over an hour I had this strong "organic" taste in my mouth.
Not the best tasting edible … in fact it’s so strong many may find the taste straight up nasty.
Buzz Stats: Prior smoke was the night before (a bowl of Emerald Buddha indica) about 12 hours prior which gave me a good night’s sleep. Had nothing during the morning (no solid food) and I did a 5K jog. Stomach was empty and I took ONE STRIP at approximately 12:30pm.
Buzz Journey: It’s Thanksgiving! With that, I figured this would be the best day to try out a Med-Strip since I have family around and I do not have the means to smoke. Also, I knew my stomach would be empty since I was not eating Thanksgiving dinner until many hours later.
So, after my jog, I discreetly put one right on my tongue and jumped in the shower. Within minutes, I was like "FCUK!" I can tell I was getting hit with a head buzz and man… here comes the body tingle. About half hour in I felt like I just took a very good bowl hit of some good Sativa. I was feeling not good but DAMN GOOD.
I have a cool body buzz going on that is gradually increasing in intensity. Everything tapered off about a hour and for the next few hours my buzz stayed at a consistent level. About 3 hours in, the wear off started and my buzz gradually lowered leaving a bit of a heavy feeling behind my eyes. Around 4:30pm, everything wore off.
Overall: FINALLY, a Sativa "edible" in Southern California that actually worked for me. What’s so cool about these Med-Strips is that they are so discreet and small. Aside from sticker on the package (which I’d just take off if traveling), nobody would even think this is a MMJ product.
In fact, this is the exact kind of edible anyone with a high tolerance should try, especially if traveling. I was told many patients take these with them on planes, cruises, etc. with no issues because they are so discreet. Also, if one strip is too much medicine you can cut them up. The bud tender told me a lady who travels often buys a few packages and cuts each strip up into 8 tiny strips and that 1/8th of the dose stops her migraines. These Med-Strips are no joke.
This is definitely a med I will purchase again and keep a pack on hand for those times where I want to medicate but cannot smoke. I prefer these strips over more traditional edibles (brownies, etc) too and one thing is very certain… I will NEVER buy a lollipop again.
Follow Up: The strips were stuck to each other and the packaging. They were a bit difficult to take out which is my only gripe but, the work in getting them out is worth it.
Also, this was my first visit to SCPC and as a collective, I was quite impressed. SCPC has a ton of edibles. Since I had so much luck with this Sativa based strip, I’ll take a shot a try one of their Indica based edibles soon. –IE420Patient
