Humbldt, a health and wellness company, has developed a vape pen that delivers an exact 2.25 mg per dose of four different combinations of THC and CBD. If you’re looking to get straight up stoned chose Bliss, a ratio of 9 to 1 THC to CBD, Sleep has a 8 to 1 ratio of THC to CBD, designed to help you relax and sleep. Calm has the highest CBD to THC ratio at 15 to 1, definitely something you may want to use to treat anxiety or pain, Relief has a 2 to 1 ratio of THC to CBD for mild pain and anxiety; you can use this while running errands or doing basic chores since you’ll only be mildly stoned. All varieties are 88 percent cannabinoids and 12 percent terpenes with no artificial fillers.
Humbldt has conducted a ton of research and tests to get each dose just right. And yes, $100 is expensive for a vape pen when you can get a cartridge for $30 to $50 but that’s why the good people at OC Weekly subject ourselves to these reviews! The humbldt dose pen is disposable, sleek and discreet. You inhale, inhale, inhale and when the pen vibrates you stop! BOOM! You just dosed yourself. The recommended dosage is 3 per hour.
For this review I chose the Bliss pen and took it with me to see Morrissey at UCI Bren Event Center. Of course a few beers were involved while I waited for the lights to dim and the show to start. I waited patiently along with everyone else when the Man, the Myth, the Moz made his entrance: “Why do you come here? And why do you hang around?”
DOSE! I inhaled but it was my first time so I didn’t get the full dose, you have to take quite a big hit to get the pen to vibrate but I’m a quick study so I got it to vibrate the second time around. WHEW!
“Why do you telephone?” sang Morrissey. I followed the directions and took 3 doses within the hour and by that third dose I was pretty high. This humbldt vape pen delivers the most potent high from any vape pen that I’ve used. I was hesitant to keep vaping but I took 2 more doses and I was done. This was worth $100, strong, intense high, fun, I enjoyed the concert, Morrissey played for an hour and a half and my buzz never wavered. So if I use the humbldt pen twice a week, 6 doses per night, 12 total, it will last me 16 weeks. 100 divided by 16 is $6.25, not bad when you break it down. NERD
