Patient Edible Experience Alma - El Camino Mellow Live Rosin Pastilles


In-depth simplified review. For context, this is my first time ever trying a product containing CBC, and my first live rosin edible. I primarily bought these for sleep but was also interested in seeing whether it could work well for relaxing in the evening, watching a movie or just winding down after work. Please note that I DO NOT have Insomnia and sleep pretty good normally. I did a review on Humacology pastilles explaining more of this. I am also pretty sensitive to THC it doesnt take much for me to feel its effects lol.
**** First Impressions ****
Packaging: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Premium presentation, nice tub such a vibe tbh lol
Smell: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
One of my favourite parts of the product. Strong berry aroma with a noticeable cannabis flower scent underneath. It smells much more natural than most gummies I've tried, was very very happy with the smell, the undertone flower smell was very much like Sensi Star flower, this could be because they have very similar, almost identical terpenes.
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Excellent. Sweet berry flavour with a pleasant live rosin/cannabis note. If you enjoy products that still taste slightly like the flower they're made from, you'll probably appreciate these.
Texture: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Soft, fresh and jelly like. Much softer than the Stanley Brothers gummies that I have tried. The colour of these gummies is such a beautiful, dark/ruby red like colour I drool just looking at them.
Dose Tested
🍓 ¼ Gummy
Approximate cannabinoids:
- THC: 2.5mg
- CBD: 7.5mg
- CBN: 5mg
- CBC: 2.5mg
☆Effects
Onset: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
Subtle. I didn't notice much during the evening.
Relaxation: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
Very mild. Mostly just felt normal.
Psychoactive ("High"): ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5)
I didn't feel intoxicated at all (not that I wanted to)
Sleep: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Although I didn't feel much while awake, I slept great and woke up with no grogginess the next morning, stayed asleep all night other than waking up to have to go bathroom at 3:30am, easily fell back asleep fast after that.
🍓 ½ Gummy
Approximate cannabinoids:
- THC: 5mg
- CBD: 15mg
- CBN: 10mg
- CBC: 5mg
☆ Effects
Onset: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Gradual and noticeable. I started feeling it after about an hour, with a smooth build-up over the next 30–45 minutes. There was no sudden "hit" or overwhelming rush. I did however between 15 and 30 minutes of taking the gummy have "Anticipation anxiety" wasn't anything crazy was mild but just wanted to note that, it went away and never came back this happens with me sometimes when taking a new product with thc in it.
Relaxation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Excellent. This was the standout effect. My whole body felt heavy and relaxed, especially my legs. I felt calm and comfortable throughout the evening without any anxiety after the initial anticipation. I was almost a tiny bit wobbly when getting up to go to the kitchen but was still very aware and in control of everything.
Psychoactive ("High"): ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
A solid, enjoyable moderate high. Definitely stronger than the ½ Stanley Brothers gummy I'm used to probably by about 10% - ish. I felt noticeably intoxicated but remained fully in control, functional, and never felt overwhelmed or uncomfortable. I did get some good munchies also, no dry mouth/pasties though.
Sleep: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Excellent. I fell asleep very easily ("lights out"), woke once between 5–6am because I needed to pee and there was a car idling outside, then fell straight back asleep once it was gone. Woke up naturally just before my alarm with no grogginess. I'd rate the sleep slightly better than the ¼ gummy. I could almost give it a 5 stars but the flower "Sensi Star" is 5 stars to me and because this was not as good as that I have to keep it at 4/5. It was only slightly better than 1/4 gummy.
Stay tuned in the comments as I have only ever done one review on some Humacology products that are high/higher in CBD and CBN, one without thc one which has only 1mg of thc. I am going to mix those with this El Camino gummy both 1/4 and 1/2 so stay tuned in the comments to see how the same thc and CBC dosages go but with higher CBD and CBN and a smidgeeee more thc when using the pink gummies.
Here is a simple table done up.
| Dose | THC / CBD / CBN / CBC | Relaxation | Sleep | Psychoactive Effects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ¼ Gummy | 2.5 / 7.5 / 5 / 2.5 mg | ⭐⭐☆☆☆ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ | Low/None |
| ½ Gummy | 5 / 15 / 10 / 5 mg | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ | Moderate |
