Unless an eighth of weed absolutely floors us in one way or another, we’ll practically never consider this weight of cannabis worth $60. This particular A Golden State strain at least did its job, but it was acceptable at best. We would have felt comfortable paying $30 or even $40 for this eighth, but $60 is highway robbery for the effects Sunbeam provides.
We felt the uplifting effects of Sunbeam instantly after finishing a joint. The effects persisted for around 45 minutes before gradually petering off.
A Golden State’s packaging might be a bit over the top, but at least it’s beautiful. We appreciate the luxurious touches like the glass jar and the external box, but it would be nice if we felt like we weren’t paying extra just for the packaging.
This strain has a sour, piney, citrusy aroma. Sunbeam has a light sour flavor when you smoke it, followed by a light pine aftertaste.
To test this product, a Best Dosage staff member smoked a 0.5g joint outside. A dosage of 0.5g per joint is ideal if you’re smoking Sunbeam alone.
If you appreciate a little luxury here and there and want to see some of the best-trimmed weed in California, this sativa strain might be worth a shot. It provides pretty potent energizing effects for close to an hour, and you’ll definitely feel the high Sunbeam gives you. There are better sativa eighths you can buy for much less money, however.
Sunbeam, a strain bred by California cannabis brand A Golden State, is a strongly sativa-leaning hybrid that provides pleasantly uplifting effects. This strain will make you feel euphoric and energetic for around an hour.
A Golden State certainly charges top-shelf prices for its cannabis, but this brand’s weed is rarely worth the cost you pay. At $60 an eighth, you expect excellent quality, but while A Golden State weed usually looks beautiful, it can fail to deliver in the effects department.
Yes, you can usually buy A Golden State products like this brand’s Sunbeam sativa eighths online if you live in California. Try popular weed delivery platforms like Eaze and Amuse.

Together, the Best Dosage team has decades of experience smoking cannabis flower. Back from the days when “Legalize It” still seemed a distant pipe dream, we’ve looked on with delight as weed prohibition has gone up in smoke. Nowadays, we’ve sampled legal THC and CBD flower in California, Washington, Illinois, Oregon, and beyond, and we pay close attention to the feedback we receive from average shoppers at dispensaries and online reviewers alike. Cannabis flower is like a second language to us at BestDosage — to the point we can now tell good weed from bad at a glance. Our team has the experience to know whether that dank is worthy of its top-shelf position or if it's just weedy grass in disguise.
