Cheeba Chews Full Review

Marijuana is now in the mainstream, and hemp has followed. It is now legal for farmers with the requisite license to grow low-THC hemp in most states. Millions of people like to smoke cannabis or vaporize CBD oil. However, the edibles market is also thriving. Brands such as Cheeba Chews understand the market and offer edibles that provide a high and non-intoxicating option too.

In this in-depth Cheeba Chews review, we look at the variety of edibles on offer from the brand. This guide looks at the THC and CBD chews on offer from the company. We try to determine how much you can safely eat. We also provide advice on creating a “Cheeba Chews-style” DIY edible from the comforts of your home.

What Are Cheeba Chews?

This brand first created marijuana edibles in 2009. High Times once described Cheeba Chews products as “America’s favorite edible.” Cheeba Chews has won three Cannabis Cups and is available in the following states:

• Colorado
• California
• Nevada
• Oklahoma

The brand has a stellar reputation for the quality and consistency of its products, which come in an impressive number of flavors and varieties.

When High Times magazine went to the company’s “industrial kitchen” in Denver, it was shocked by what it found. It expected a large industrial-scale plant. Instead, its staff saw a tiny 600 square foot kitchen with a few small offices located near the all-important “cooking site.” Even back then, in early 2016, Cheeba Chews was creating 50,000 candies a week, a number that has swelled in recent years as the brand has expanded into Nevada and Oklahoma.

James Howler, founder and CEO of Cheeba Chews, started the enterprise back in 2009 while living in Colorado. He noticed that the edibles available were severely flawed with a complete lack of consistency in doses. While people wanted to try them out, they couldn’t trust the market. One batch could have a different potency compared to the next one.

Howler was a licensed medical grower, so he had access to a lot of marijuana. According to him, Cheeba Chews aims to create edibles that people can rely on. Consistency in dose and potency is among the top priorities. He also claims that the company goes the extra mile when testing and preparing their chews. This helps the brand’s edibles retain their noteworthy effects.

Rapid Expansion

The company has expanded significantly in recent years, but it remains privately owned and is entirely self-funded. When interviewed in 2016, Howler was proud to point out that the brand had not taken any investment or credit funds because he wanted it to grow organically. Once marijuana became legalized in Colorado, Cheeba Chews expanded once again. Further states were added to the ledger. Now, the brand has dozens of employees and an executive team.

However, the company had to rethink its entire product lineup when weed became available for recreational use in the state. Cheeba Chews waited to see how the edibles industry was set to change with the new legislation. It ended up being an important decision.

Certain laws on recreational weed stated that the edible had to be provided in 10 mg single-doses and be secured in child-resistant packaging. They also limited the THC to 100mg per product in some locations.

You will find that you can’t purchase certain products if you live in a state with edibles dosage restrictions. Check your state’s laws to learn more.

The company hired an engineering firm to develop a particular machine capable of handling the thickness of the Cheeba Chews mixture. In the end, the brand created a multi-dose package with chews divided into 10 mg THC increments. However, you can now purchase more significant amounts of THC depending on where you live.

What Do Cheeba Chews Offer?

There is a multitude of infused edibles available on the Cheeba Chews website. A lot depends on your state, however. The company’s claim of ‘consistency’ is essential. In the world of edibles, it is all too common for brands to make claims that their products can’t match.

A reasonable number of edibles advertise THC counts that are far higher than the real figure. In larger batches, it is common for the cannabinoids to settle at the bottom. This can make for some wildly different potencies from product to product.

Cheeba Chews is different, and its lab results are impressive compared to its rivals. If you’re looking for something with a little extra ‘kick,’ try the Deca Dose Cheeba Chew as it contains a whopping 175 mg of THC in total. We can tell you first-hand that these babies are incredibly potent, so be careful if you have a low weed tolerance! It oozes hash oil and generally costs $18-$22.

In Colorado and Nevada, there are also Cheeba Chews packs, which include eight x 10 mg chews. These packs cost around $12-$14, and there are THC and CBD versions available. Flavors include Sativa Chocolate Taffy, Indica Chocolate Taffy, Hybrid Caramel, and Cheeba Chews Pure CBD Chocolate Taffy. There is a ‘medical’ version of the Quad Dose. It contains 70mg of THC in a single chew.

Residents of Colorado Springs, among other places, can get chews with up to 500mg of THC for around $40! Flavors include Chocolate Taffy, Caramel, and Fruit Taffy. Use these sensibly!

Cheeba Chews’ CBD Options

The brand also has a range of CBD chews that contain a maximum of 0.3% THC. The cannabidiol comes from hemp grown in the USA. Cheeba Chews uses organic alcohol extraction. It claims that CO2 extraction consumes too much power in comparison.

It sells various sized packs of chews; each one contains 25mg of CBD. There are five flavors:

• Chocolate Taffy
• Strawberry Taffy
• Caramel Taffy
• Sour Apple Taffy
• Orange Cream Taffy

There are only 10-11 calories per chew; great news for those watching their weight! The chews are already divided into a tray, which makes them easy to measure. If you feel the taffy is too soft, place the package in the fridge for around one minute. The list of ingredients includes sugar, glucose syrup, and chocolate liquor. The taffy also contains soy and dairy, so bear this information in mind before proceeding.

How Many Cheeba Chews Can You Safely Eat?

The answer depends on many factors. If you consume the CBD version, you can eat more than if you use the THC option. Even with CBD, however, you should begin with a maximum of one chew a day. Wait 1-2 hours before deciding whether you need more.

As for the THC option, it depends on your marijuana tolerance. A joint could have around 60-70mg of THC. However, some people include a LOT more. Even so, the ‘Deca Dose’ has 2-3 average joints worth. If you buy a 500mg THC edible, do NOT eat it all at once. The consequences are potentially dire. Imagine going into a scary THC-induced state of anxiety and paranoia!

Moreover, the high from both the Quad Dose and the Deca Dose can last for several hours. While it usually takes longer for edibles to take effect (compared to smoking), the overall impact is generally heavier. A rookie mistake is to believe the edible is not kicking in, and after an hour or so, decide to eat more.

As such, with all Cheeba Chews products, you should eat half of the edible first. Wait at least an hour (preferably longer) before eating the other half. Only do so if you feel no real effect. If you’re using the Deca Dose, reduce this to a quarter (or even less), especially if you have a low tolerance.

For people with an average to low tolerance, 10-25 mg of THC is enough to relax the muscles and aid sleep. The high will last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, but this duration increases markedly with higher doses.

The Most Effective Method of Making Cheeba Chews

Cheeba Chews are effectively Tootsie Rolls with high-quality cannabis oil added. If you don’t live in California, Colorado, Oklahoma, or Nevada, you won’t have access to the real thing. However, you can try and make your own at home.

All you need is butter or butter-flavored cooking spray, a Pyrex baking pan (8 x 8 inches is best) and the following three ingredients:

• One bag of Tootsie Roll minis
• A maximum of 10 g of premium quality hash oil – or CBD oil if you want hemp chews
• A tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk

Once you have all of the above, follow this recipe step-by-step to create DIY Cheeba Chews

1. Melt the Tootsie Rolls in a crockpot on low heat, stirring the pot regularly.
2. Add the oil and milk once you melt the candy.
3. Stir the concoction for two minutes. You need the milk to spread evenly to ensure the oil blends with the candy as much as possible.
4. Grease the inside of the Pyrex pan with butter and pour the concoction into it.
5. Allow the mixture to cool and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours.
6. Once the mixture has set correctly, cut it into pieces. You should get up to 50 chews per batch, based on how much THC/CBD you want in each one.

Where Can I Buy Cheeba Chews?

You will find Cheeba Chews on the official website and countless third-party sites. Go to www.hempcheebachews.com if you want the CBD version. The following is information relating to the Hemp Cheeba Chews website only.

Dissatisfied customers don’t have much time to react. If you want to return your product, you must do so within seven days of receiving it. The brand only accepts unopened returns. Any returns outside this window are assessed a 20% restocking fee. Moreover, Cheeba Chews only accepts returns and refunds from products bought on the official website.

If you purchase from a third-party, check its terms and conditions.

The Final Verdict – Should You Try Cheeba Chews?

Overall, Cheeba Chews is a great alternative to smoking or vaping weed. Their cost has fallen in recent times, and the THC options are now reasonably priced. Their CBD chews are also on the ‘okay’ side in pricing terms when compared to rival brands that sell edibles such as gummies.

For most people, they are a luxury treat rather than something they can rely on daily. If nothing else, it is safe to say that Cheeba Chews is arguably the best edibles manufacturer in the United States. The company provides consistent doses with every batch. If you would rather eat your weed or hemp than smoke or vape it, we strongly recommend their edibles.

Final Verdict: 8.5/10
