Beyond the Buzz: Marius' Journey into Infusion-Focused Edibles
Meet Marius, a returning cannabis consumer who found his perfect match in edibles. While he experimented with smoking cannabis in his younger years, he never enjoyed the experience or the lingering stigma of smelling like smoke. When cannabis was legalized in Canada, Marius gave edibles a try and it was love at first bite. Edibles offered a discreet, enjoyable way to unwind without any of the discomfort or judgment he had associated with cannabis in the past. As his experience with cannabis deepened, so did his curiosity about what made some edibles feel better than others.
Why Infusion Method Matters to Marius
In the early days of legalization, Marius was excited to try whatever edibles he could find. With the market still developing, most options were infused with distillate, a purified, high-THC concentrate that delivered consistent potency but little else. While distillate was a great entry point, Marius found the effects increasingly one-note, even as he raised his dosage to match his growing tolerance.
Everything changed when he tried his first live rosin-infused edible. The experience was richer, more nuanced, and surprisingly effective despite being the same dose as the distillate edibles he was used to. Marius felt re-energized, and his appreciation for the plant deepened. He began seeking out full-spectrum and solventless options that captured more of the natural essence of cannabis. Today, Marius gravitates toward edibles infused with live rosin or live resin, finding them more expressive, balanced, and enjoyable.
Marius' Favorite Infused Edibles
Marius’ current favorite is Sour Cherry Live Rosin Gummies by 1964. These tangy chews combine vibrant cherry flavor with FVOPA-certified organic live rosin made from living soil flower. They're vegan, gluten-free, and pack a flavorful punch that Marius appreciates both for its taste and full-spectrum effects.
His next go-to is Orange Tingz Fresh Frozen Live Hash Rosin Vegan Soft Chews by A-Ha! Made with strain-specific Orange Tingz full-spectrum fresh frozen live hash rosin, these gummies are a true delicacy. Offering a perfectly complimenting hash taste, derived from the 8% terpene content found in Orange Tingz, to a finely iterated citrus flavor profile delivered in a vegan, gluten-free gummy. Each soft chew contains 5mg of THC, for a total of 10mg THC per pack.
Rounding out his top picks is Lemon Z Rosin Soft Chews by Port North. Made with strain-specific rosin harvested at peak flower, these soft chews deliver a true-to-flower experience. With no trim or blended batches, Marius values how these edibles reflect the unique terpene and cannabinoid profile of the Lemon Z strain. For him, they represent the gold standard of what edibles can be.
