About an hour after we’d eaten the chocolate, activation arrived in a borderline hallucinatory way. Not a great look at the comedy club, I admit. The night was mellow throughout, and this high was not so much fodder for riotous laughter, but fuel for quiet introspection. My companion and I shared half the milk chocolate bar before checking out our friend’s comedy show. Personally, I love the taste of cannabis, so flavor-wise these bars were working for me right off the bat. The bars are comprised of smooth, top-shelf chocolate, both with a faint suggestion of skunky cannabis beneath the veil of premium cacao. Second Stop: Kiva Milk and Dark Chocolate Barsīoth the milk and dark chocolate varieties of Kiva’s chocolate bars contain 5mg of THC per square, with an entire bar boasting 100mg of THC. The comedown was a soft landing, and the high evaporated quickly with zero fanfare. And the experience lasted just long enough for me to get from one end of Santee Alley to the other, with an obligatory cruise through the surrounding fabric district blocks for roughly 2 hours. I was weightless, carefree, and lithe, darting between bargains like a bumblebee in a flower garden. The electrifying high was the perfect match for the frenetic landscape. It was one part sensory overload, one part sensory enthusiasm. It was a weird dichotomy but also indicative of the caffeine/cannabis connection my body usually makes.

The trumpeting calls of booth barkers, the cacophony of banda, k-pop, and EDM, and the layered voices of thousands of shoppers all coalesced into a symphony that simultaneously made me want to shove my ears under the collar of my jacket and turn my full attention towards it and attend it like it was an opera. I exited a booth selling 99-cent costume jewelry and found myself deposited in a psychedelic, technicolor dreamscape. I felt like I was walking through a sheet of warm water. I started feeling the high kick in somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes after consumption, and the high came on swiftly. “It was one part sensory overload, one part sensory enthusiasm. I started with three beans, or 15mg of THC total, which is a moderate amount for my tolerance.
Finding the sweet spot between caffeine jolt and THC psychoactivity is definitely tantamount to a magic carpet ride, so have at least a rough estimate of your limits before putting these bad boys in your mouth. For instance, a trip to downtown LA’s’ fashion district, a square mile of alleys and narrow streets thick with bodies, textures, colors, and noise, was transformed from a typical shopping trip into a carnivalesque adventure after three of these toothsome tidbits.Įach of these infused coffee beans contains 5mg of THC enrobed in silky, glossily tempered dark chocolate without a trace of cannabis flavor (it’s all chocolate and coffee here) and there are 20 beans in a container. The cannabis espresso high is singular, and if used with foresight can lead to a super radical experience.
On this visit, I took Kiva’s chocolates to three wholly different events and found that a perfect high has as much to do with the atmosphere and company as it does with the cannabis I consume. I was lucky enough to stock up on three of their top sellers-Terra cannabis-infused espresso beans and both the milk and dark chocolate cannabis-infused chocolate bars-before spending a week and a half visiting my family. Kiva is one of California’s most popular edible brands, and with a formula that features cold-water hash, handcrafted artisan chocolate, and clever packaging, it represents its home state well. The chocolate-coated coffee beans added just enough energy to an afternoon shopping trip, while the milk and dark chocolate bars both resulted in stoney, happy times followed by the munchies. IN REVIEW: After testing Kiva's milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and chocolate-covered coffee beans, reviewer Brianna Wheeler found that all three can accentuate a weekend adventure. It’s always a pleasure to eat fine chocolate in the name of cannabis analysis, but the days I spent with Kiva's milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and chocolate-covered coffee beans were uniquely extraordinary.
