Raw Garden went with the standard mylar packaging and Ziploc seal. The five fruit flavors used for the gummies are depicted in an image on the front and the back shows nutrition facts, product instructions, and a warning label.
Raw Garden’s recommended dosage on packaging: This product is a cannabis edible, meant to be eaten 1 gummy at a time. Wait 2 hours for full effect. Keep Cool & Dry – Ready To Enjoy.
Even when stored in a cool place, the gummy’s texture was sticky to the touch and we would not recommend taking them on the go.
The flavors include Bing Cherry, Watermelon, White Peach, Wild Strawberry, and Meyer Lemonade. We could not taste the flavors listed. Our experience of the flavor profile was that of a tooth-aching artificial syrup-flavored gummy worm. The aroma was a non-factor here, just a sugary candy fruit scent.
The stickiness of the gummy and the syrupy taste exhibited in the overall flavor profile, including the aftertaste, are the reasons why the Raw Garden 5mg gummy received a poor rating in the flavor category.
Here’s a list of ingredients – Sugar, Filtered Water, Glucose, Citric Acid, Corn Syrup, Sodium Citrate, Natural Coloring, Natural Bing Cherry Flavor, Natural Watermelon Flavor, Natural White Peach Flavor, Natural Strawberry Flavor, Natural Meyer Lemon Flavor, Ascorbic Acid, Emulsifying Oil, Cannabis Oil, Wax Coating.
The packaging date was 3/30/2023. The gummies were only opened two months after packaging and they were all stuck to each other. Most THC gummies have around a year shelf life, but these sticky gummies will not age gracefully. Raw Garden needs to optimize a step in its gummy manufacturing process.

Consumer #2 – You Consume A Couple Of Times Per Month: 1-2 gummies, wait 60 minutes.
Consumer #3 – You Consume Cannabis Daily: 3-5 gummies, wait 60 minutes before dosing up.

This gummy is perfect for loyal Raw Garden fans. If you love Raw Garden strains and want to increase your dosage, try a gummy or two from your favorite brand. The logic here is that if you vape or dab it, you might as well eat it too. Same, same?
The potency of two Raw Garden gummies is similar to that of one sativa-leaning Camino gummy. However, the CBN gummies from Camino put out an entirely different cycle of effects than the euphoric-leaning Raw Garden gummies.
The syrupy flavor and stickiness of the Raw Garden gummy rendered this product to score poorly. This is the first time BestDosage scored a Raw Garden product under a 4 out of 5. Statistically, when opting for an edible, chances are you don’t smoke or vape. You want something comfortable, something flavorful, and long-lasting. A gummy you can store in a drawer, and consume once a week, maybe less. This gummy failed those basic metrics.
A THC gummy is only as good as its first bite. It has to be delicious and effective or you’re not coming back. The texture can’t be too sticky and the effects have to be potent. The packaging must preserve the freshness of the gummy for a prolonged period of time. If you want a great THC gummy, check out Camino by Kiva.
