Bhang
Bhang is an award winning cannabis company specializing in edibles. They have many flavors and combination ratios of CBD to THC to chose from. The chocolate edibles will set new standards for the edible category in the cannabis industry. We love Bhang. Many of our customers asked us why they are called Bhang :). apparently the roots of the name from India and how it had been prepared.
Some of their edibles are gluten free and vegetarian and even kosher. Ask us for more. So have a bit and Bhang!
Scott J. Van Rixel, the CEO of Bhang, is a certified Chef de Cuisine and Master Chocolatier, whose regular gourmet chocolate company, Chocolate Cartel. Co-founded with his brother, Tim, in New Mexico, Chocolate Cartel’s assortment of truffles and chocolate bars quickly veers into the unconventional. They sell, for example, blueberry port truffles alongside 90% dark chocolate Bhang bars.
It’s this creativity on which Bhang was founded and operates. According to their official website, Van Rixel, alongside his team of chocolatiers, has made producing world class chocolate their first and foremost priority. With Van Rixel’s pedigree, it’s hard to doubt this bold claim.
As a company, Bhang sells both edibles and vape products. Their flagship product is the Bhang Bar, which comes in many flavors—ten are shown on their website, however, due to the structure of the Bhang company, availability of specialty flavors will depend on your local dispensary.
The company itself is essentially a wholesale retailer. Independent manufacturers operate in some of the different states in which marijuana is legal, including California, Colorado, Michigan and New Mexico. Once the products are manufactured, they’re distributed to a huge range of legal cannabis dispensaries, so that medical patients in legal (or medically legal) states can enjoy them with ease.
Bhang Products
Vape products sold by Bhang include a vape pen and pre-filled cartridge called the Bhang stick, a premium pre-filled cartridge called Bhang Black Private Reserve, an all-natural Bhang Stick Cartridge, pure cannabis oil Bhang Stick Cartridges, and a disposable all-in-one vape pen called the Bhang Perfecto.
Alongside their chocolate bars, the company also produces mouth sprays, available in THC and CBD-predominate versions, as well as a CBD and hemp oil-infused chewing gum, designed as a pain relief and wellness supplement.
No matter which Bhang product you’re considering, it’s comforting to know Bhang backs it up with a “Triple Promise Guarantee.” Found on the company’s website, the guarantee makes three claims (hence the name).
First, Bhang promises to deliver the highest quality in medical cannabis products crafted from the finest in raw organic botanicals and ingredients.
Second, Bhang promises to provide transparency with precise and consistent amounts of cannabinoids in every one of its products (we’ll discuss this one shortly).
And finally, Bhang promises the utmost care in safety and handling of its products, and practices standards of the highest degree in production, testing, and packaging.
Flavors & Taste:
Some of the flavors the Bhang Bar comes in include dark chocolate, milk chocolate, cookies & cream, ice chocolate (peppermint), pretzel, toffee, cherry, CBD caramel and fire chocolate.
Each of these has its own characteristic flavor. The ice chocolate, for example, is cool and refreshing, whereas the fire chocolate has a noticeable spiciness, and even leaves behind a kick after the bar has been consumed. The cannabis component is noticeable, however, so be aware there will be a hint of cannabutter accompanying any of these flavors.
Dosage:
The bars come in single, double and triple strength variants, which corresponds to 60, 120 and 180 milligrams of THC. Each bar is divided into four individual doses, so standard doses for each of these bars will be 15, 30 or 45mg, respectively.
Depending on the flavor, strains used for the medicated portion of the bars are advertised as being predominantly hybrid (sativa-dominant), indica or in the case of the caramel flavor, 50/50 between CBD-dominant and THC-dominant strains.
This wide range of choices means that connoisseurs of artisanal chocolate (or marijuana edibles) may find something new to try in Bhang’s range of products. Furthermore, CBD strains are seldom utilized in edible products, so anyone who prefers the effects of CBD should keep an eye out for the caramel flavor at their local dispensary.
Effects:
The bars work, too. For the average cannabis patient, one 30mg dose of the double strength bar should be plenty to attain a noticeable high. Most users report effects kicking in after just 15-30 minutes, and describe first effects as cerebral, providing a mild head-high followed by full-body relief and relaxation.
How long do they last:
Many patients report intense pain relief from a Bhang Bar, which makes it an appealing option for those suffering from arthritis, joint pain, back pain, or any other type of chronic pain. The duration of the effects certainly seems to vary, with some users reporting only 2-3 hours of pain relief while others report a surprising 6-8 hours. We recommend trying one for yourself (and starting with a low dose) to determine where your tolerance lies with Bhang.
And the Winner Is…
Beyond loads of patients endorsing the effectiveness of Bhang products, the company has won an impressive number of awards following its debut in 2010:

- 2nd Place High Times Cannabis Cup San Francisco 2011
- 3rd Place High Times Cannabis Cup “Best New Product” California 2011

So you can rest assured you’re going to have a positive experience with Bhang’s products.
