As dispensaries suit up to begin recreational cannabis sales and Cleveland prepares to ride this new wave, we’ve got the gear to get you started.

Gummies

Grape krush, mellow mint, orange dreamsicle and pineapple cake — these aren’t the newest Mitchell’s Ice Cream flavors but rather the four options available for UBGOOD’s “Give Yourself a Break” gummy. As the name suggests, the purpose of the gummy is to help ease anxiety and relax the consumer. An Ohio-based cannabis brand, UBGOOD is run by a husband-and-wife team and found at medical dispensaries across the state. They offer gummies and other cannabis product collections based on activity levels, ranging from low to high. $20, Various Locations, ub-good.com

 

Flower

Every cannabis journey should start with a good flower, and The Botanist’s Sativa bud with hints of apricot and grape keeps you energized for the duration of your trip. Once ground, the flower is ready to roll, vape or bake. $10 per gram, 30133 Euclid Ave., Wickliffe and 3865 Lakeside Ave. E., Cleveland, explorebotanist.com

Tincture

An oil-based cannabis product, and one of the oldest forms of cannabis consumption, tinctures give the satisfaction of marijuana in quick droplets, safe for sublingual administration or mixing into foods and drinks. This THC tincture, available at Amplify Dispensary for medical sales, delivers sensations of calmness and promotes concentration using MCT oil, derived from coconut and palm oil, with an aroma that doesn’t linger or overpower. $40, 1782 Coventry Road, Cleveland Heights; 22803 Rockside Road, Bedford, amplifydispensary.com

 

Vape Pen

Easy-to-use and inconspicuous, vape pens, also known as dab pens, are perfect for on-the-go consumption. Filled with a cannabis concentrate, the vaporizer’s usability, smooth pull and yummy flavors are refashioning how cannabis is consumed and viewed. Made by RYTHM Cannabis, the Gorilla Biscuit indica vape pen is available at Ohio-based Terrasana. $25, 10500 Antenucci Blvd., Suite 200, Garfield Heights, terrasanacannabisco.com
