KIVA CONFECTIONS MINT IRISH CREAM

I love after dinner mints. They’re refreshing and come in just the perfect portion—just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, not enough to get your dentist (or dietician) worked up. So it was a complete and utter delight to sample Kiva Confections Mint Irish Cream chocolate, available from Access OC in Santa Ana. Lab-tested by CS Analytical, this medible (a 2013 High Times LA Cannabis Cup 1st place winner) provides suffering patients with 180 mg of mild chocolate-sheathed relief. The “born on” date (ours was good until Sept. 25, 2013) is a definite plus for patients that want to make sure their medibles are tip-top fresh. Those who are judicious about what they bring into the body temple, rest assured, the ingredients (vanilla beans, full cream milk, cocoa butter, etc.) are all natural—and all delicious. But this is strong stuff—each bar is scored into 45mg segments. Start gradually (5mg at a time is recommended) and slowly and feel the elevated potency wash away roughed-up muscles and frayed nerves. Night-night.
