San Jose Medical Marijuana Collective Offers New Chocolate Edibles With a Bhang

Holistic Herbal Healers, a San Jose medical marijuana collective, is now carrying a new incredible edible: Bhang Chocolate, a gourmet chocolate that is carefully tested to ensure a consistent level of medical cannabis in every bar. Unlike many edibles that can vary in strength from batch to batch, all Bhang Chocolates have the same potency, so patients have an easier time regulating their medication.

Bhang Chocolates are available in single-dose, double-dose, and triple-dose four-piece bars. The single-dose bar contains 60 milligrams of THC, which is the chief active chemical in marijuana that promotes healing and relief. The double-dose bar contains 120 milligrams and the triple-dose bar contains 180 milligrams.

"Medicating yourself with edible cannabis products can be frustrating-as THC levels can vary widely, even in different batches of the same branded product," said a Director of San Jose wellness center Holistic Herbal Healers. "The addition of Bhang Chocolates at Holistic Herbal Healers is very good for our patients."

This product, which has been called a cure-all by some, can help with ailments such as pain, nausea, lack of an appetite, anxiety, insomnia, and more. Bhang Chocolates are made with various cannabis strains or combinations of strains in order to effectively target and treat different ailments.

Many medical marijuana collective patients want the healing benefits of medicinal cannabis without the smoke. Whether they just want to be more discreet in public places, or they have an ailment that would be worsened by marijuana smoke or vapor (i.e. patients who use medical marijuana to treat side effects of chemotherapy for respiratory cancers), patients find eating Bhang Chocolates to be a great alternative way to medicate. The chocolates are also helpful for patients who need to stimulate appetite and gain weight, especially those undergoing AIDS treatment or chemotherapy.

Bhang Chocolates were developed by expert chocolatier Scott Van Rixel of Chocolate Cartel. They are made with organic, fairly traded Venezuelan cacao and only the finest natural ingredients. Unlike many edibles that are made by cooking marijuana with butter, Bhang Chocolates uses a proprietary extraction method to get all the THC without a grassy flavor. Current flavors include 73.5% Dark Chocolate, which is vegan; Hemp Dark Chocolate, made with toasted hemp seeds; and the new Fire Chocolate, made with orange and spices. Truffles and chocolate almonds are coming soon.

The content is analytically tested for quality and consistency, and Bhang is fully insured against product liability. These quality control measures put Bhang chocolates far ahead of industry standards. In an interview, Scott Van Rixel explained that "the purpose of medicine is to help people, not hurt people. We are bringing standards of regulation to the industry. We want to be the leader of how things should be done."
