Butterfly Effect Dissolve Infusion Powder: Baked by a Bodacious Brownie

April 3rd, 2026

Brownie made with 30 to 40 milligrams of Butterfly Effect Dissolve Infusion Powder

The other day, a friend handed me a Ziploc baggie. “Want a brownie?” He asked.

I responded to his question with a question of my own. “Does it have weed in it?”

“Yeah.” He said. I replied with, “Sure!”

He said the brownie contained 30 to 40 milligrams of Butterfly Effect Dissolve Infusion Powder.

If you’ve never heard of Infusion Powder, it is fast-acting, nanoemulsified THC in powder form that you can add to your food and drinks. Pretty much any food can be made into a THC edible with this stuff. It’s available in three potencies: 110 milligrams, 330 milligrams and 660 milligrams.

I’ve had people ask me if you can snort Infusion Powder. The answer is no!

Nanoemulsified THC is made by taking cannabis distillate, isolate or full-spectrum oil and mixing it with water and surfactants to create an emulsion. These droplets are subjected to extreme forces and broken down into small bits measuring approximately 30 to 90 nanometers. Butterfly Effect uses full-spectrum CO2 oil to make their Dissolve Infusion Powder.

The nanoemulsification process improves THC water solubility and cannabinoid absorption into the body. Basically, it makes THC water soluble rather than fat soluble and allows cannabis to be infused within drinks and powders.

A similar product called Ampersand™ is an edible THC powder made from decarboxylating rosin into edible THC powder. It is a solventless edible that is becoming popular amongst cannabis connoisseurs, but I don’t see it hitting Ohio dispensaries any time soon because of its high THC percentage.

When using Butterfly Effect Dissolve Infusion Powder, keep in mind that carbonation takes away the psychoactive effect. Adding the stuff to soda won’t get you medicated. Also, be careful while cooking with Infusion Powder, as the THC will start to break down around 390 degrees Fahrenheit. I usually just add it to my food after cooking.

Back when I bought some 110 milligram Infusion Powder for myself, I noticed the plastic container was kind of tough to open. When opening your product, pinch the sides of the container and pull up on the lid. Be careful not to jolt your hands and spill the medicine! Consider setting the container down flat on a table while opening.

On its own, the Infusion Powder had a robust marijuana odor. It tasted really strong like weed when poured directly onto my tongue. When mixed with food it depended what I blended it with. I could kind of taste the THC in my orange juice and tea, but I detected no weed at all with the brownie’s rich chocolate masking the marijuana.

Edibles usually don’t do much for me. The most powerful edible I’ve ever had was a homemade cookie, which showed me that homemade stuff can sometimes be better than store-bought.

The 30 to 40 milligram brownie got me a little buzzed shortly after I consumed it. For a few hours after that, I felt no effects, but after some time passed I got super tired. My entire being was in need of restful slumber. I slept well that night, but I won’t be eating any more of these brownies during the day. If I were to eat another one of these it would be an evening dessert.

I gave the Butterfly Effect Dissolve Infusion Powder a 7/10 for harshness (based on eating the powder by itself directly on my tongue), 5/10 for strength, 7/10 for smell strength and 60 to 120 minutes for length of medical effects. The medication length can vary greatly depending on dose size and personal tolerance.

According to the product label, 110 milligrams of Infusion Powder is considered four servings. The container comes with a little serving spoon and two scoops equals one serving. The label on my 110 milligram Infusion Powder stated the following:

Net weight 4.4 grams. Total THC 110.39mg, Delta-9 THC 106.92mg, Delta-9 THCa 3.12mg, THCv 0.73mg, total CBD 0.43mg.

Ingredients: Full spectrum CO2 extracted cannabis oil, sugar alcohol(s), modified tapioca starch, MCT oil, sucrose esters, citric acid, xanthan gum, proprietary food-grade taste modifier(s). No known allergens. Manufactured in a facility that uses milk ingredients.

CAUTION: THC concentration levels are based on the powder mix. The effect and concentration may vary when introduced into water. For best results, mix 2 scoops (1 serving) with 6 fl. oz. of water.
Eric Squared RSO-Infused Snickerdoodles 40mg THC: Gluten-Free Goodness

April 18th, 2025

It’s kind of rare to see medicated cookies on Ohio marijuana menus. When I noticed Nectar was selling medicated snickerdoodles at 50% off, I figured this was a good chance to try some cookies. I liked how they were infused with RSO instead of regular distillate.

Eric and Eric, or Eric Squared, is an Ohio company that bakes gluten-free goods infused with medical cannabis. The team began as Eban’s Bakehouse back in 2011. For the Ohio legal cannabis market their products are manufactured and distributed through BeneLeaves.

I found this description of their company on the Elevated Growth website:

“Eric and Eric Artisanal, Sensational Medicinals is a veteran/family-owned bakery dedicated to creating the most effective,100% gluten-free, preservative-free, cannabis infused baked goods.

Chef Eric Braddock and his wife and partner, Chef Adrienne Novak (both veterans and award-winning culinary professionals) are taking edibles to the highest level of quality using superior ingredients like sweet cream butter, pure vanilla and their proprietary blend of certified gluten-free flours, carefully blended with the highest quality distillates using nanotechnology.

Their Exceptionally Righteous Infused Cannabis cookie and brownie bites are consistently dosed and baked to perfection for long-lasting relief without any trace of gluten or preservatives.”

The package contained two square-shaped cookies, each dosed at about 20mg of THC. One of them was very crumbled, the other was relatively intact.

This was the cookie that had suffered some crumbling inside the package.

They smelled sweet and sugary like you would expect a snickerdoodle to smell. They didn’t give off a cannabis odor.

When eaten, the Eric Squared RSO-Infused Snickerdoodles had the consistency of a soft brownie. The cookies were crumbly, probably because they were gluten-free. They tasted like cinnamon and sugar, just as you would expect a treat of this nature to taste.

During the chew I could detect the RSO, but it wasn’t very strong. It was nowhere near as intense as eating a glob of RSO on its own. There was a bit of a weedy aftertaste, but nothing I couldn’t handle.

Each of the cookies had a removable, edible sticker with the THC! warning logo.

I did not get any medical effects from these snickerdoodles, even after eating two of them. Maybe 40mg of RSO just wasn’t enough for me. I’d be interested to see how these cookies affect someone who reacts well to edibles.

I feel like if I ate 40mg of THC from RSO out of a syringe I would feel much more of a medical effect. I also keep in mind that with all legal RSO in Ohio, the THC cap is around 70%. True forms of medical RSO, seen in other states, have THC percentages that exceed 90%. I call our stuff “RSOhio”.

I gave the Eric Squared RSO-Infused Snickerdoodles a 7 for taste, 4 for harshness, 0 for strength, 5 for smell strength (they smelled like cookies, not weed) and 0 minutes for length of medical effects.
Kiva Terra Milk Chocolate Blueberry Bites 100 Milligram 20 Pieces: Testing the Taste and Treatment

March 31st, 2025

Kiva Terra Milk Chocolate Blueberry Bites

I avoid buying edibles because they typically don’t give me much of an effect. Gummies, even high doses of 50 to 200 milligrams, don’t seem to do much to me. I took 300 milligrams of UB Good capsules and felt nothing but a bit of tiredness.

It’s strange though, because there’s been times where edibles have worked for me. Years ago I had a buddy who made some infused sugar cookies and they were the most powerful edibles I’ve ever had. The cookies were in the shape of weed leaves, and eating just one piece of those things would get me medicated. An entire cookie was an hours-long, mildly psychedelic experience.

Infused chocolates seem to work better for me than gummies. Depending on the brand and dosage, chocolates can also be hit or miss, but I’ve had much better luck with chocolate than pectin or gelatin. Maybe it has something to do with the fat that’s in the cocoa butter helping to better absorb the THC into my body.

Last year I ate an entire 100 milligram Kiva Blackberry Dark Chocolate bar before a game of putt-putt and definitely felt the effects. There used to be a processor here in Ohio called Garden Society that would make excellent infused chocolates I’d buy from AYR Wellness in Woodmere and Ohio Cannabis Company in Canton. I’ve also had medical morsels from Standard Wellness, including a 100 milligram S’more Marshmallow Graham Cracker Milk Chocolate bar that didn’t last longer than one sitting.

This past weekend I was going to visit the newly-opened AYR Wellness in Streetsboro, but after browsing their limited menu with unimpressive prices, I found myself at Nectar in Euclid. This dispensary is open from 7 in the morning to 11 at night 365 days a year!

Nectar is known for heavy discounts, and my most recent visit didn’t disappoint. They had 40% and 50% off of a bunch of stuff, including Certified 510 carts, Klutch 510 carts, disposables and many different flowers and edibles. They even allowed for discounts on Certified iKrushers, which isn’t something you see everywhere.

Other than the parking, the only thing that sucks about Nectar is the fact that it’s in Cuyahoga County, so for non-medical purchases you have to pay an additional county tax on top of your recreational and sales tax. Three taxes to many. Medical patients are spared from the recreational tax but must submit to county and sales taxes during each transaction.

While at Nectar I picked up a few edibles I’ll be reviewing for the site for 420 season, including this tin of Kiva Terra Milk Chocolate Blueberry Bites by Klutch. They were not labeled sativa, indica or hybrid. There was 94.86 milligrams of THC in the entire tin, which housed twenty 4.743 milligram pieces of chocolate.

The edibles didn’t smell weedy. They smelled like chocolate. I noticed that some of the pieces were slightly bigger than others.

Each ball was stamped with a little white THC! symbol that was barely readable. When I saw the ingredients that went into producing that white stamp, which I listed at the bottom of this article, I wished they had passed on it!

For general safety though, it’s good to know there is THC in the chocolate you’re eating. As an alternative, maybe they could stamp the THC! symbol as an indent pressed down into the chocolate. Perhaps the reason they used the white ink was because they physically weren’t able to press an indent onto the sphere.

I had eaten twelve Terras by the time I took this photo.

The chocolates had a nice soft consistency and slightly tasted of cannabis. Inside of each piece was a delicious blueberry filling that made it difficult to stop eating! There were no blueberry seeds or skins. The chocolates reminded me of those Brookside treats I used to eat by the bagful until I got too many cavities and had to stop.

The cannabis extract inside of the Terras was removed from the plant with ice water. This explains why I didn’t taste any sort of solvent or butane while chewing these things. They should advertise on the front packaging that Terras contain solventless extract!

The medical effects seemed to hit me quick. I was on an empty stomach but it still surprised me how fast I felt the first four Terras, which in total contained about 18.972 milligrams of THC. I was medicated within ten or fifteen minutes and the effects lasted about three hours. My chronic pain faded into the background but I did feel kind of tired, which could have been due to a lack of sleep the night before.

I was surprised how much medical effect I got out of eating just four of these things at once. I had a head buzz along with a bit of a body high. The medical effects definitely felt like I had eaten an edible as opposed to inhaling a flower toke or breathing in a hash dab.

When the effects wore off I ate another four Terras but I didn’t seem to get as medicated as the first dose. The next day I ate another batch of four and felt medicated for a few hours.

If the price was right and I was in the mood for edibles I would purchase this product again. They got me more medicated than I thought they would.

I gave the 100 Milligram Kiva Terra Milk Chocolate Blueberry Bites an 8 for taste, 2 for harshness, 7 for strength, 5 for smell strength (they smelled chocolatey, not weedy) and 180 minutes for length of medical effects.

Grön (pronounced “Groon”) Sativa Tangelo Pearls 2:1:1 THC CBC CBG

September 4th, 2024

These sativa Tangelo Pearls processed by Standard Wellness have a 2:1:1 ratio of THC, CBC, and CBG. Each gummy contains 10mg THC, 5mg CBC, and 5mg CBG. There are 10 gummies in the triangular box totaling 100mg THC, 50mg CBC, and 50mg CBG.

The Pearls are little orange gummy circles with a light coating of sugar. They have the consistency of a chewier-style fruit snack. They are not sticky on the teeth. The Pearls tasted delicious but had a sour orange bite to them. They also had a strong aftertaste. I did not taste the CO2 hash in them at all.

I ate dinner at 5:45 pm and consumed all ten Pearls at 7:45 pm. Around 8:30 pm I could feel my mouth getting dry. I got an energy boost that lasted one or two hours. My neck and back pain were reduced by a significant amount.

Many times when I consume sativas I kind of get OCD about cleaning things, but I didn’t experience that with these gummies. Maybe that’s because of the high level of CBG, which I have read can curb OCD and anxiety.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend these particular Pearls for evening use unless they’re being used as a stimulant to stay awake.

There have been a lot of times where I had gummies that I thought were too chewy or sticky, which is one reason why I usually go with chocolate when it comes to edibles. However, I enjoyed the consistency of these gummies and would like to try the other flavors. I typically stay away from gelatin-containing gummies but maybe it’s the gelatin that provides the desirable consistency.

I would buy this product again. I would recommend this product to patients looking for an energy boost along with pain relief.

I gave these gummies an 8 out of 10 for taste, 3 for harshness, 6 for strength and 6 for smell strength. They did not smell like hash or weed but had a pretty strong gummy scent to them. The medical effect lasted 1 to 2 hours for me but the psychoactive timeframe might be longer for others.
