Ah, Venice, how much do I love thee? Plenty, if you by “Venice” you mean The Venice Cookie Co.’s The 4.20 Bar from StemLife Collective in Moreno Valley. We’ve had a lot of medicated chocolates in our day . . . and this one has always been in our Top Five for its consistent taste, quality and effects. First, the packaging is top-notch.  Foregoing the usual rasta and Cheech & Chong imagery, Venice opts for clean presentation, detailed nutritional information and patient-friendly design (its conveniently scored into six segments/doses). Loaded with 160mg of delta-9 THC, 10mg of CBD and 5mg of CBN, this bar is the top shelf, big dog you reach for when neuropathic pain or muscular discomfort makes your life unbearable. We sampled the Milk Chocolate + Toffee bar (4.2g dried cannabis) and found the sea salt it was topped with complimented the earthy taste of the cocoa butter and sweetness of the pure cane sugar. The effects come in strong but slowly, languorously; like the tide coming in. I guess I’m in love with Venice all over again.
