Other products such as pre-made weed cigarettes are also being sold in Mexico, despite not being legal yet.īut the group is not discouraged by this. Still, the group told Vice Mexico that it’d like to keep a low profile, which is understandable considering weed is not yet legalized in the country. But Pelón Pone Rico could soon change that. Most edibles sold around the world are a form of cookies, brownies, or gummies. It’s a relief to many edible weed fans, who are in search of THC-infused candies rooted in latin America. Now, the group has sold more than 1,500 edibles. It reworked the original logo and called it Pelón Pone Rico. It wasn’t until a friend asked one of the founders to infuse the tamarind candy with marihuana that the collective was turned on to the idea. Pelón Pone Rico founders actually began infusing cannabinoids with chocolate before they turned to the classic gooey candy. “It’s good to eat it bit by bit,” one of its creators told Vice Mexico. The candy – made in Ecatepec, Mexico – is elaborated with an extraction of cannabis infused with alcohol that has 250 milligrams of THC, though the “negro” flavor has 400 milligrams of this cannabinoid. Although tamarindo is (probably) Latin America’s favorite flavor, this one comes in three other versions: mango, chamoy y “el negro.” The candy has been distributed in Mexico for three months now. This new Mexican edible weed is a play on the classic Pelón Pelo Rico candy that merges the cannabinoid properties of marijuana with the taste loved by millions.
But, what if you could take this beloved candy to get high? With its tamarindo-flavored pasta-like strands, the candy is the perfect mixture of sweet, salty, and spicy we all loved growing up. You can also freeze cubes of tamarind juice and/or sweet and sour and use those instead of ice for more robust flavor.It’s hard to improve Mexican candy Pelón Pelo Rico. Adjust the amount of ice until you have the consistency you like. Sure! If you love frozen margaritas, simply add ingredients to blender with a cup of ice. This prevents the margaritas from getting watered down. When making a pitcher, I don’t add ice until serving.
