For a first foray into cannabis oil, check out Beleave’s medium-potency THC oil.
At first, I wasn’t sure about Beleave’s THC cannabis oil
when it recently popped up on the Ontario Cannabis
Store (OCS) website.
But with a medium THC potency, it was one of the best deals
on cannabis extracts at the OCS that day.
Other oils (that were out of stock) go up to 30 mg. Of course,
you can also buy less potent oils or extracts with CBD
instead of THC. I like to get the biggest bang for my buck if
you know what I’m saying.
The first thing I noticed about this thin water-like oil was the
flavor. It vaguely reminded me of amoxicillin in 1983 except,
instead of the sweet bubble gum flavor, a splash of Beleave’s
THC cannabis oil boasts unique herbal undertones. The main
terpene profile featured is Beta-Caryophyllene.
My first dose was precisely 7.5 mg because I thought the
syringe that came with the bottle was 1 ml but after closer
inspection, I realized its only half. After that, I shot 30 mg as
best as I could under my tongue.
Sublingual application, or application under the tongue,
allows for THC and CBD to directly enter the bloodstream.
As such, the effects of THC and CBD are not diminished
by the digestive system process of the liver and onset is
much quicker.
At 30 mg, the dose was still a little too mellow for my
taste. However, that didn’t make it any less appealing,
nor did it upset me any less when I accidentally knocked
the bottle over and spilt at least 2 ml (60 mg) of THC oil.
There it was, a golden puddle about to spread across my
kitchen counter. Well, as embarrassed as I am to admit
this, I licked up the mess, yup, just like a dog, and was
rewarded with a deeply calming sensation that lasted for
at least five hours.
Beleave’s THC oil is extracted via ethanol from a blend
of indoor-grown hybrid strains. Overall, I would say this
Hamilton-based cannabis company makes a good starter
oil for anyone who’s never tried THC.
