Truth is stranger than fiction – it turns out that cannabis consumers weigh less on average than non-consumers. Marijuana contains various [cannabinoids](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/cannabinoids-chemical-compounds-with-huge-therapeutic-potential), including **THC** and **CBD**, which can work in different ways as fat busters. It also includes [tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/psychoactive-thcv-the-cannabinoid-that-kills-your-appetite), a cannabinoid that can help disrupt unhelpful eating habits.\n \nIn this article, I review [Wana Brands'](https://www.wanabrands.com/) new cannabis product, the [Wana Optimals Fit gummy]( https://www.wanabrands.com/products/gummies/optimals/optimals-fit-rec), which contains the magical cannabinoid THCV. But first, let's talk about why Marijuana can help.\n \n![Hello2-min (31).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello2_min_31_35e907dddd.png)\n\n### Marijuana and Weight Loss\n \nConsuming cannabis can help maintain a healthy body weight, but it's not a quick weight loss fix. [Marijuana helps our body better regulate digestion](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/can-cannabis-help-you-lose-weight), appetite, and hormones by interacting with our [endocannabinoid system](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system )(ECS). New studies also show that CBD and THCV can [reduce appetite](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19378378/) and increase metabolism, making them [potential treatments for obesity](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6163475/) and other related conditions. \n \nTHCV can reduce appetite, but it is also known to relieve stress, increase energy, and focus. These effects can help disrupt unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle choices. THCV is found in some [Sativa strains](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/indica-and-sativa-do-these-cannabis-labels-mean-anything) like [Durban Poison](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/durban-poison#:~:text=Durban%20Poison%20is%20an%20all,task%20of%20cleaning%20your%20house.), but it is still rare to see it in cannabis products on the dispensary shelves. Wana is one of the first brands to include THCV in a cannabis product: **Wana Optimals Fit Gummies**.\n\n![Hello2-min (21).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello2_min_21_bbf30d514d.png)\n \n### The Most Popular Marijuana Gummies\n \nWeed gummies are many patients' favorite way to consume cannabis. And [Wana brand gummies](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/the-perfect-weed-edible-is-the-cannabis-gummy-by-wana-brands) are a popular choice. Their classic THC gummies are available in many legal states, including Arizona, Colorado, California, Illinois, Florida, Michigan, and many more. The THCV-infused Wana Optimals Gummies are, however, only currently available in Wana's home state of *Colorado*; the company has plans to expand their availability soon. The women-owned brand began as a start-up in Boulder, and the team's devotion to continuously improving and innovating their gummy recipes has led them to success.\n \nWana offers two different \"Optimals\" gummies, the [Wana Fit and the Wana Fast Asleep]( https://www.wanabrands.com/collections/gummies/optimals/). Both are vegan, melt-proof, precisely dosed, and available in various flavors with ratios of THC to CBD, along with other cannabinoids and [terpenes](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/what-are-cannabis-terpenes-and-how-do-they-work). \n \nThey are differentiated by the use of [nanotechnology](https://mashable.com/article/nanotech-weed-explainer) to create [fast-acting effects](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/rapid-delivery-cannabis-edibles-hit-the-market). Unlike most edibles on the market, the effects of the Optimals gummies are felt within **five to fifteen minutes**\n\n![Hello1-min (36).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello1_min_36_122b1e4e4c.png)\n \n### Review: Wana Optimals Fit THCV Gummies\n \nThe [Wana Optimals Fit gummies](https://www.wanabrands.com/products/gummies/optimals/optimals-fit-rec) have a mix of cannabinoids: 0.5mg THCV, 10mg CBD, and 0.1mg THC. The effects are non-intoxicating but noticeable in a good way. A few minutes after eating the gummy, I felt uplifted but at the same time relaxed. I remained clear-headed throughout the day and felt slightly more focused than usual. I went about my day, attended my online exercise class, and got busy finishing projects for work that I'd delayed for the past month and a half.\n \n[CBD has an overall calming effect](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/understanding-how-cbd-can-calm-your-anxiety), so I never felt jittery or anxious as I do on higher amounts of THC. Instead, I felt serene and happy. The bonus - when I usually would be snacking around 4 pm, I wasn't even thinking about food! After a productive and healthy day, I skipped my usual nightly Netflix and sugar-laden post-dinner binge-eating and opted for hot tea and a book instead.\n \nI've always enjoyed cannabis gummies as they are convenient and accurately dosed. The Wana Optimals Fit gummies are a tasty fruit punch flavor, and unlike other gummies I've tried, they don't taste like weed. Plus, they're low in sugar and gluten-free.\n \nThe Wana Optimals Fit gummy improved my day, making me feel calm and clear-headed. Given that I ate less on the day I took the Wana Optimals Fit gummy, I can see how adding these gummies into my daily routine could help me change some of my eating habits over the long term. My review is two thumbs up for Wana Fit. I'd recommend these gummies to anyone looking for a new tool to change daily habits and form new, healthier ones. \n \n### Get Your Medical Document & Purchase Medical Cannabis\n \nIt's easy to get your medical document with the online [Telehealth service HelloMD](https://hellomd.com/get-started).

Walking into a typical dispensary, it’s quite common to be advised to purchase a 200 mg bar of chocolate or offered a gummy bear that may be anywhere from 20–50 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).\n\nLuckily, this year we’ve seen the emergence of several new brands and products that have the microdosing cannabis consumer in mind. One of my absolute favorite new brands to hit the market in 2017 is called Satori. This California brand offers a [variety of low-dose chocolate-covered edibles](https://hellomd.com/articles/top-cannabis-brands-that-are-doing-it-right) in 1 mg, 3 mg and 10 mg doses.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en) \n\n### Microdosing Marijuana Explained\n\nThe [practice of microdosing marijuana](https://hellomd.com/articles/microdosing-101-cannabis-psilocybin-and-lsd) involves ingesting small amounts of cannabis to create a specific effect. For a medical marijuana consumer, this may be titrating a small amount throughout the day to treat a condition without feeling the effect of being high. For someone not seeking to treat a specific condition, microdosing may be used to produce a sense of well-being, reduce anxiety, focus attention or lift the spirits on a dreary day. Yep, in a nutshell, that’s microdosing.\n\n![Satori’s cannabis-infused chocolate-covered edibles](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/58797273eb7401000b5ac214/embedded_images/58797302f00ad100085798ec/studio3.JPG)\nSatori pairs cannabis and chocolate in these tasty microdosed edibles.\n \nFor me, [microdosing cannabis started as a way to manage chronic pain](https://hellomd.com/articles/microdosing-cannabis-stopped-my-chronic-pain) effectively without feeling the psychoactive high. This worked very well for my chronic migraines and fibromyalgia. Over time however, I noticed that I enjoyed the relaxation and more subtle effects of microdosing. \n\nAfter a stressful day, microdosing a 3 mg cannabis-infused chocolate has a way of taking the edge off, similar to drinking a glass of wine. It should be noted that most people will not feel any noticeable psychoactive effects at around 2.5 mg and will begin to feel psychoactivity at around 5 –10 mg. As everyone is different, there are no hard and fast rules, but this applies to me. \n\nNow, I realize, if you’re an avid cannabis consumer with higher THC tolerances, such a low dosage may seem laughable. For those with lower tolerances though or for anyone who may have had a bad edible experience, this is a perfect way to onramp into the world of cannabis.  \n\n### Satori Cannabis Chocolate Review\n\nFor my trial run with [Satori](https://twitter.com/satoriedibles), I chose to consume the 3 mg THC Wild Strawberries in Organic Milk Chocolate. Rather than sitting at home, I decided to test the 420 Games principle that [cannabis and athletics can go hand in hand](https://hellomd.com/articles/the-420-games-celebrates-athletes-healthy-living-and-cannabis.\n\nTo that end, I chose to attend a yoga class at my favorite yoga studio in San Francisco, Yoga Tree Castro, with my good girlfriend Valerie. (Valerie did not consume any cannabis.) I’ve been an avid yoga practitioner for the past 15 years, so I know both my capabilities and limits; I felt confident that 3 mg of THC wouldn’t put my downward dog (or me) in jeopardy. \n\nAs cannabis edibles must first be digested and then metabolized by your liver before entering your bloodstream, it can take up to one to two hours to feel the effects. With that in mind, I decided to consume my 3 mg Satori cannabis chocolate an hour before class time. Sitting in my car after I parked, I grabbed my Satori box. The packaging, which seems to be made out of recycled material, is aesthetically pleasing; it looks like high-quality-granola-meets-the-Whole-Foods-set.\n\n### Seeing Into One’s True Nature With Satori\n\nGoogling the word “Satori,” I came up with this: “The word is derived from the Japanese verb satoru. In the Zen Buddhist tradition, satori refers to the experience of kenshō, \"seeing into one's true nature.” Well, yes, I was feeling pretty good about everything at this point.\n\nOpening the box, I poured a handful of the cannabis chocolates into my palm. One of the first things I noticed was the chocolatey aroma wafting up intermixed with a faint scent of cannabis. I happen to like the smell of cannabis, so for me this was a pleasant experience. The second thing I noticed was that the size of the chocolates vary, and that they appeared to be panned, given the uneven texture. \n\nPanning refers to the practice of tumbling the chocolate over an object, such as a tasty dried strawberry. The only downside to panning with cannabis is that the dosage may vary. This is due to the size of the dried strawberry being panned and the amount of chocolate that actually coats the object. In other words, one strawberry might be 2 mg and another strawberry might be 4 mg. Unperturbed by this fact, I looked over the cannabis chocolates in my hand, chose a middle-sized chocolate-coated strawberry and popped it in my mouth.\n\n### First Impressions: This Is High-Quality Chocolate With a Hint of Cannabis\n\nOh, high-quality chocolate is what immediately entered my mind. Chocolate I want more of (which is somewhat problematic with edibles and requires restraint)! The other taste that came through was an earthy cannabis flavor, although it didn’t overpower the chocolate. The sweetness of the strawberry combined with the chocolate and cannabis flavor was pure bliss and unlike any other marijuana edible I’ve tried to date.\n\nUsually, it seems that manufacturers try to completely negate the cannabis flavor from an edible whereas Satori seems to celebrate it. Now, I would need to wait to feel the effects.\n\n![Cannabis chocolate to enhance my yoga experience](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/58797273eb7401000b5ac214/embedded_images/58797276eb7401000b5ac215/studio2.JPG)\nGetting my zen on with Satori at Yoga Tree Castro in SF. \n\nAn hour later, I unrolled my yoga mat next to Valerie. Soon thereafter, I started to feel the effects of my cannabis-infused chocolate-covered strawberry as I began our first series of vinyasas. I felt a sense of relaxation and a deeper level of awareness within my body as we warmed up.\n\nOne striking difference was the emphasis I felt within my breathing and the sense of breath going to different parts of my body. As any yoga practitioner knows, this is a core tenet of yoga, but is often glossed over within the mind, which tends to wander and hold onto everything except the breath. I didn’t feel stoned; rather, I felt calm, focused and happy.\n\n### Feeling Happy From Satori’s Cannabis-Infused Chocolate-Covered Strawberry\n\nThe last word “happy” is a word I don’t often use when describing cannabis edibles. For the most part, when I take an edible, I notice a general sense of calm, but I also find them extremely useful for sleeping. With the Satori cannabis chocolate, I noticed a significant uptick in both my mood and energy level, which for me is quite unusual for any edible. If Satori could be analagous to something, it might be to the sativa marijuana strain. \n\nAs the class progressed, I went deeper into poses than I might normally go, while at the same time I didn’t feel as if I were stretching past any limitations. With the music going and feeling the flow both within myself and the class, I was really enjoying myself. There was only one point at which I thought better of a pose and stopped myself from doing a forearm stand, an upside-down inversion on the forearms. Considering I was about a foot away from my neighbors on either side, going upside down didn’t seem like it was in anyone’s best interest. \n\nAt the end of the 90-minute class, I was definitely feeling as if I were “seeing into my own true nature” as it were. I was extremely pleased with my experience with Satori’s 3 mg marijuana-spiked chocolate-covered strawberry. This is one cannabis product I plan to keep in heavy rotation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Definitely a keeper.\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://hellomd.com/tag/cannabis-101/) post.

Let’s face it, carrying around cannabis flower is not always convenient and it is never what I might call discreet. In addition, many people look to find cannabis products that might carry the benefits of smoking, but they would prefer not to smoke at all. It seems this is especially true of those that may be new to cannabis as well as the senior community. For these reasons, the cannabis marketplace has been exploding with a wide variety of new products that explore a plethora of delivery mediums. One product which recently came to my attention is a cannabis lozenge by Strovia.\n\nStrovia solely focuses on the creation of lozenges and offers 11 different products with four different ratios: THC rich, CBD rich, Balanced 1:1 and “Just CBD”. When the  cannabinoids CBD and THC are combined, patients benefit from the synergistic healing action of THC and CBD. There is also a variety of potency anywhere from 2mg - 32mg, which provides enough variety for the varying needs of patients. Doug of Strovia commented on dosing saying, “In plant-based medicine, each person responds differently to identical doses. Some people achieve a substantial benefit from a micro dose. However, they may encounter that same benefit at the low, standard or high potency doses.” \n\nThe lozenges combine familiar flavors such as echinacea, ginger and lemongrass, apple, mango, honey and even pomegranate. Strovia also touts their lozenges to be “infused with premium cannabis, cleanly extracted, lab tested and third party verified for both dose accuracy and purity.” \n\n### Delivery Method Matters\n\nIf your familiar with cannabis, you may know that different methods of administration yield different results. Lozenges are interesting in that the membrane of the mouth allows for the infusion of cannabis directly into the bloodstream, and quickly. This is different than a swallowed edible, in that the cannabis is metabolized by the liver and may be more susceptible to stomach acids and other digestive enzymes that can decrease the potency of the THC and CBD.   \n\nDoug from Strovia explained that “absorption through the oral mucosa is simply the most effective delivery method for reaching the [endocannabinoid system](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5751cbd970410e000b00003a/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system). But more than that, lozenges are easier to administer to pediatric and geriatric patients as well as patients who have difficulty swallowing or holding down food down.”\n\nRELATED: [BLOOM FARMS CBD CARTRIDGE REVIEW](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57ba49a00bc21c000b6472c3/bloom-farms-cbd-cartridge-review)\n\nStrovia was interesting enough to us at HelloMD that we decided to do a road test with a few members of our staff. Our staff selected flavors, ratios and potency that appealed to them and below you can read what they had to say. If you would like to purchase Strovia, the lozenges are available for delivery throughout California through True Farma.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en) \n\n### HelloMD Strovia Reviews \n\nBart - HelloMD Staff,\nStrovia Lemon Honey Echinacea,\n20mg THC Rich & 10mg THC Rich\n\n“The first 20mg I took was at a holiday party and it provided just the right amount of \"background music\" that kept me engaged in conversation, entertained, but not too intoxicated to function. I felt relaxed and social. At the same time and my appetite was stimulated enough to enjoy the dinner and I found the lozenge to be delicious with just enough of sweet from the honey.\n\nThe second time I took the 10mg dose and it was after a particularly long day of work and I found it was just enough to take the edge off. In this instance it was like the background music was turned down to a whisper.  This product is wonderful if you need to relax, especially for someone like me where I spend the majority of my time talking on the phone. I also found the soothing effects of the honey on my throat after a day of speaking, which is a wonderful effect of this lozenge.”\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\nVeronica - HelloMD Staff,\nStrovia Pomegranate Antioxidant,\nTHC Rich Strovia - 5:1 THC: CBD\n\nOne day last week after work, I decided to open up my new Strovia lozenge and it immediately reminded me of a jolly rancher. I popped it in my mouth and a lovely, strong flavor of pomegranate was what was immediately evident. After a few more minutes I detected a mild cannabis taste, which is fine for me. However, there was a cannabis after taste, particularly on the roof of my mouth, but a glass of water made it imperceptible.\n\nThe effects of the Strovia kicked in pretty quickly. What I immediately noticed was that I had less pain in my right knee, and I was able to perform deep squats and return to standing without struggle. My stress levels were reduced and my mood improved throughout the evening, and I was able to fall asleep right away. I enjoyed a restful night’s sleep without interruption, and woke up feeling refreshed.”\n______________________________________________________________________\n\nChris - HelloMD Staff,\nStrovia Lemon Honey Echinacea,\n20mg THC Rich\n\n“The Honey Lemon Echinacea lozenge is a nice switch from the traditional edible.  The lozenge delivery is reminiscent of a Ricola, both in taste and overall experience, which I found incredibly pleasant.  The onset of the 20 mg of THC was fast, but not in an overwhelming way.  As a high tolerance user, I found the the high to be immediate but sustained over the course of several hours, which is unusual for me with this dosage, which I consider on the lower side.  The lozenge itself is pretty big, so if you’re not a fan of hard candy, you may want to drop it in a cup of tea to dissolve as an alternative.”\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\nRyan - HelloMD Staff,\nStrovia Pomegranate Antioxidant,\n10mg CBD Rich\n\n\"I decided to try the Strovia at my work desk to see the impact of a CBD edible on my workflow. Anxiety can add a lot of noise to your thought processes and CBD clears this up for me. As a result, I am able to focus much better at the tasks at hand, in combination with fostering a relaxed and well adjusted mood. \n\nThe lozenge dissolved slowly and the effects also came on so slowly. I barely noticed a change in my own affect, a hallmark of a great CBD edible. I found that the rest of the day very went well for me, conversations came much more smoothly and I was able to focus on what I wanted to when I wanted to. I am looking forward to buying my own Strovia and repeating the experience. I hate to be a fanboy, but I really really enjoyed trying the Strovia 10mg CBD lozenge.\"\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.
