Ghost OG RSO Softgels by Buddies
90 Points
For my birthday, my wife got us tickets to my favorite Broadway musical, The Phantom of the Opera. I’ve seen it several times, and I knew that I wanted to consume an edible or similar product for the show. I had just received a sample of the Buddies 25mg Ghost OG RSO Capsules, and this seemed like the perfect time to give them a try. I wanted something where the effects were going to be more located in the body, as I would be sitting in my seat for two hours and thirty minutes, and sometimes when I consume something that is too cerebral at a show, my mind can wander for a while before I realized I’ve missed 20 minutes of the show. The Ghost OG seemed like it would provide effects that would have me melting into my seat while being able to remain focused on the amazing music and visuals that are part of the show. Once that chandelier lit up in the opening number (IYKYK), I knew I had made the correct choice.
Each capsule contains 25mg of THC with 40 capsules in the bottle for a total of 1000mg of THC. This review is based on my Minimum Effective Dose (MED) or the smallest amount needed to achieve the desired effect. My MED currently sits at 100mg of THC, so I consumed four capsules. If you are unsure of your MED, it is recommended to start with 5mg, wait 90 minutes then incrementally add 5mg as needed. Because these capsules are not able to be split into smaller doses, these are not recommended for those new to edibles or with an MED of less than 25mg of THC. THIS IS NOT FOR LOW DOSE CONSUMERS! Remember, your MED may change as your tolerance gets higher or lower.
The capsules come in a standard medicine bottle with a twist off top. Once opened a bevy of amber colored gelcaps greeted me from inside the bottle. I stuck my nose inside, and the aroma was honestly a bit off-putting. It might have been the mix of the glycerine and the MCT oil, but I didn’t love the smell. Good thing I didn’t really have to smell them for long! The capsules are pretty tiny and manageable, about the size of my pinky nail. I was able to swallow four in one gulp with some water easily, and there was no residual flavor.
I swallowed the capsules about an hour before the show at 6:00 PM with the hopes that they would take effect around the time the show started. As we sat down in our seats, I attempted to read the Playbill program, but found that my eyesight would not allow it. Now, my eyesight is definitely getting worse in my old age, but it especially gets compounded by cannabis use, specifically indica cannabis. So the fact that I was unable to read the words on the page before me told me that the capsules were indeed beginning to kick in. Sure enough, by the time the lights went down, the show began and that chandelier lit up, I was pretty lit up as well. For the next two and a half hours, I sat mesmerized, sucked in to the scenery, the costumes, the music and the sensational vocal performances. I melted into my seat as the colors of my surroundings became more vivid and the music became sharper and more emotional. By the time the show ended, the effects were beginning to gently wear off. As I got into bed around 11:00 PM, I found it a little difficult to fall asleep, but by the time I did, I was OUT, and it was very difficult for me to wake up in the morning. Keep that in mind if you’re taking these the night before having to wake up early or be very focused and clear-headed in the morning.
I’m all about finding use cases for cannabis products, and sitting in a theater watching a show with amazing music, vocals and visuals is the perfect use case for the Buddies 25mg Ghost OG RSO Capsules. They had my body feeling relaxed with my senses heightened for everything that was happening around me. These would also be great for a relaxing day laying on a blanket in the park or watching your favorite special effects sci-fi movie from the comfort of your own couch.
