Cycling Frog’s THC Rosin Gummies Taste Weed-y AF, but For Good Reason

Cycling Frog’s limited-edition gummies are effect-first, candy-second, and worth the tradeoff.

Some THC gummies are trying to taste like candy. Cycling Frog’s Raspberry Limeade THC Rosin Gummies are trying to remind you there’s actual weed in them. And that was obvious as soon as I opened the bag. This smelled like straight weed, and not so much in an eighth bag way. More like a rosin oil bomb with some fruit added. The smell was strong enough that I quickly understood what kind of gummy this was going to be: not the best-tasting edible in my drawer, but probably one of the ones that actually hits.

Each gummy has 10mg THC 10mg CBD, so it’s a balanced 1:1 edible. The bigger difference is that Cycling Frog uses Sour Elektra rosin, which makes this feel closer to the rosin gummies you’d find in a dispensary than a random hemp gummy with THC added. Sour Elektra is a sativa-dominant, CBD-heavy hemp strain with Gorilla Glue #4 x ACDC genetics, and Cycling Frog lists naturally occurring terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, and terpinolene. In other words, this is a strain-specific edible with a lot more whole-plant character than your average gummy.

So these are definitely not candy-first delicious gummies. These are effect-first gummies that do the damn job. Once I accepted that, I appreciated them a lot more. And besides, if you want to munch on gummies, just get regular, non-infused ones.

The limited-edition packaging also features art from Ghostshrimp, the artist who helped create and design the world of Adventure Time. It’s nice when the art world and canna-world get a little universe crossover, especially on a product that already feels more specific than a standard THC gummy.

Cycling Frog’s Raspberry Limeade THC Rosin Gummies are for people who care more about the edible working than the edible tasting like candy. Each gummy has 10mg THC 10mg CBD, using full-spectrum extract, which is the Sour Elektra rosin. So this felt closer to a dispensary rosin gummy rather than a basic hemp edible. The smell was very weedy, the flavor was very weedy, and honestly, that was kind of the point.

Buy it if: you want a balanced 1:1 rosin gummy with mellow, uplifting, full-body effects.

Skip it if: you need your gummies to taste delicious.

Best part: the high felt calm, pleasant, and genuinely........
