Massachusetts-based cannabis company MariMed has made its way to the Missouri market during this chilly Winter season. The company tackles the cannabis industry from all angles, with flower, edible, and concentrate brands underneath its umbrella.
One of the brands that falls under the MariMed conglomerate is Betty’s Eddies. These full-spectrum, fast-acting edibles are not like your typical gumdrop that consumers in the Missouri market have grown familiar with. Instead, Betty’s Eddies take the form of a 100% all-natural taffy made from real fruit and vegetables.
Each Betty’s Eddie’s package contains a certain amount of chews (usually 10), each tightly, individually wrapped in clear candy paper with ‘THC’ and ‘Marijuana’ labeling. The levels of THC and other beneficial cannabinoids vary from package to package to serve specific consumers’ needs.
The Pitch had the opportunity to sample a few different styles and flavors of Betty’s Eddies. Disclaimer for the senior stoners—A fair amount of chewing is necessary to get this tasty buzz.
Bedtime Betty’s, Raspberry Creme: With 10mg THC, 20mg CBD, and 5mg CBN, this late-night snack will put you to bed—and keep you there. Biting into the first chew, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the consistency of the taffy holds strong after manufacturing and distribution, making for a nostalgic-like taste of saltwater taffy that I enjoyed as a child. The raspberry flavor is not an overpowering tart, yet there is actually more of a subtle, sweet creaminess that takes the palette over the farther along your chompers get to putting the chew back. As someone who struggles with staying asleep at night, I can gladly say that a few of these puppies helped me get a full eight hours. This edible could be beneficial to help insomniacs do the trick.
Ache Away Eddies, Cherry: These Ache Away Eddies are where piquantly sour meets exquisitely sweet. While the first impressions are reminiscent of bright red, tart cherries, the more your teeth tear away at the sweet little treat, the more it begins to give vibes of black cherries that everyone tends to favor. It’s just like all of your favorite sour-sweet candies; You have to tolerate the initial tart to get to the awarding sugary sensation. Labeled as a pain reliever, the edible carries 10mg THC, 40mg CBD, and 5mg CBC in each piece. Loaded up on CBD and a slight touch of CBC help make this taffy chronic pain’s worst nightmare—Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the THC stays at a moderate 10mg to allow for increased pain relief while also not getting overwhelmingly high. Those looking for a source of sedation while also catching a quick THC fix, go ahead and pop this cherry.
Go Betty Go, Watermelon: Throw out everything you know about sweet watermelon before biting into Betty’s Eddies’ watermelon chews. The tangy sourness bites back in this taffy, containing 10mg THC and 2.5mg THCV. Marked as a product that is ideal for being on the go, that is exactly what this edible brings to the table. It wakes you up with a slap-to-the-face sour watermelon flavoring, similar to Sour Patch Kids Watermelon, and continues that high-energy vibe with the additional 2.5mg THCV. THCV is known to help give more boosts of motivation and alertness that help balance out the effects that the THC has. If you are looking for a little boost to kickstart a day, this edible would be a solid fit.
Ache Away Eddies PM, Orange Creme: Strong sour citrus notes take over the palette when first biting into this chew. While the sourness hits hard at first, the smooth creme begins to settle in with each nibble. Shortly, this taffy began to diminish, leaving an aftertaste of all the orange soda I have glugged down throughout the years. With 10mg THC, 5mg CBN, and 5mg CBC, this gummy is a perfect match for those who can’t sleep due to injury. If you have a constant aching or pain that seems to get 10 times worse when you roll over and try to hit the hay, try popping one of these guys about 30 minutes before you lay down. Similar to the cherry chews, it can help eliminate that tenderness while knocking you out at the same time.
