Are cbdMD’s THC Micro Mints the Best Way to Microdose Weed?

They’re definitely the most low-key way to ingest THC.

I love the idea of THC being put into breath mints, even if that also makes them look slightly suspicious in a different direction.

cbdMD’s Delta 9 THC Micro Mints are tiny peppermint mints with 2.5mg THC 2.5mg CBG each. The bag I tested had five mints, which made me laugh because, personally, I wanted to take the whole bag. That would have been 12.5mg THC, which is much closer to my actual edible dose.

But that’s not really the point here. These are microdose mints, not “get me high AF” edibles. I tried taking two at a time during the workday, and that felt like the right vibe for me: subtle calm, a little focus, and a slight pick-me-up without feeling like I had taken a whole edible.

The peppermint flavor helps the whole thing feel normal. They taste crisp and refreshing, and they’re discreet in the way only mints can be. Nobody sees someone take a mint and thinks, “ah yes, weed.” If anything, they look more like tiny pills than cannabis, which is maybe its own problem, but definitely makes them easy to keep low-key.

They hit quicker than I expected, too. About 30 minutes in, I noticed I felt less riled up, which is what makes a microdose worthwhile.

Read our guide on How to Microdose Weed.

I had to remind myself these are supposed to be tiny-dose mints. Each Micro Mint has 2.5mg THC 2.5mg CBG, so if your tolerance is low, one mint might be the move. For me, one was basically a suggestion. Two was where I started to feel chill, a little more locked in, and less tense during the workday.

Buy it if: you want a discreet microdose that looks nothing like a weed gummy.

Skip it if: you’re trying to get actually high from one mint.

Best part: the peppermint flavor is crisp and normal in a way that makes the whole thing........
