7 4 | t h e c l e v e r r o o t CANNABIS REVIEWS RACHEL'S Roundup Edibles MONDO Made from single-source organic Blue Dream flowers, this dissolving can- nabis powder offers a slightly nutty and clean flavor profile. But the best thing about Mondo is its versatility: It dissolves perfectly into liquids and has a fairly neutral flavor that allows it to be sprinkled on top of just about anything. The powder comes with a tiny scoop that helps with consistent dosing, and with 5 mg of THC and 1 mg each of CBD and CBN per serving, Mondo is a great edible option for daytime con- sumption and microdosing. 91 NICE CANNA COMPANY RASPBERRY PATTIES The Nice Canna Company of- fers a complete line of artisanal cannabis sweets ranging from lollipops and hard can- dies to taffy-like chews, but these infused chocolate-covered patties are a personal favorite. While the Peppermint will make you forget York patties even exist and the Orange is outrageously good, the Raspberry Patty, with its tiny pink kernels of real fruit inside, is a true standout. True-to-fruit flavor and creamy, melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate mingle for the perfect dreamy berry kiss. Handcrafted in Downtown Los Angeles with 35 mg THC per patty. 92 As California joins the ranks of states with legal recreational cannabis, the modern cannabis consumer can now be more brand-conscious than ever.
