Jerry’s Picks’ Gummie Review

This top-performing cannabis brand is made with eco-friendly packaging made from recycled paper and a custom glass tip with Jerry’s handprint. The Jerry’s Picks Gummies are shaped like Jerry’s actual guitar picks and come in three colors that included blue, red, and a more purple red and have a nice coating of sugar on them. The container total was 20 gummies with 5mg of THC per gummie. The flavors were a mixed berry and very tasty with only a slight hint of cannabis flavor in them. 🍓

The effects of the edible were great for an evening music session, which is what you would expect from a Jerry Garcia edible. 🎶🎸

What you didn’t know about Jerry Garcia

Do you know how Jerry Garcia got introduced to weed? In a Rolling Stones interview, Jerry said “I was 15 when I got turned on to marijuana. Me and a friend of mine went up into the hills with two joints, the San Francisco foothills, and smoked these joints and just got so high and laughed and roared and went skipping down the streets doing funny things and just having a helluva time.”

Something else you may or may not have known about the cannabis legend is Jerry, since he was four years old was missing a finger. Jerry was chopping wood with his brother when a mistimed chop ended with Jerry missing two-thirds of his right middle finger. Despite having lost a finger, rumour has it he was pretty great at rolling joints.
