ReCreate makes a variety of cannabis edibles, including beverages, tinctures, gummies, and chocolates — all made with varying levels of CBD and THC, plus additional additives designed to promote a certain mood. (We’ll explain each in turn.) We review three members of the ReCreate product line below.
ReCreate Focus Cannabis-Infused Dark Chocolate – 11.5mg CBD and 2.5mg THC per piece, plus Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps mushrooms, and B-vitamin complex. The “matcha mint chocolate” base is a little chalky but is fully enjoyable and completely masks any other flavors present in the edible, either terpene or mushroom-based. 2.5mg of THC allows for a very mild high, and while my level of “focus” wasn’t razor-sharp, I did have more energy about a half hour after consuming one and was able to power through a complex work assignment. Available as a 3-pack or 10-pack, though pricing is currently unavailable. 8/10
ReCreate Energy Cannabis-Infused Watermelon Lemonade Gummies – 10mg CBD and 5mg THC per piece, plus yerba mate. An unusual gummy: It’s almost like a shell that’s been filled with liquid in the center, popping in your mouth. Lots of terpenes here; there’s a mild lemon flavor but nothing much in the way of watermelon. Yerba mate can be powerfully energizing, but the dose here seems necessarily small. The impact is solid. After little sleep and most of a long day of work, these gummies were effective at picking me up to close out the work day — though not as well as the Focus chocolates — and I was able to get a solid night’s sleep later. Serious munchies with this one, though. 7/10
ReCreate Proud Cannabis-Infused Mixed Fruit Gummies – 10mg CBD and 10mg THC per piece, plus yerba mate. These are basically the same as Energy, in mixed fruit flavors and rainbow “pride” packaging, with double the THC in the mix. I had much the same experience with this one as the above — though I think the fruit flavors are better tasting than the watermelon lemonade Energy version — just with a little stronger mellowing impact thanks to the higher THC component. Which you choose is really just a question of desired impact — though I have to give Proud an extra nod for the more engaging flavor profile, too. 8/10
