I wanted to love these Moonrocks but I bought them thinking they were something completely different. I was not pleasantly surprised and I’ve tried consuming these Moonrocks 3 different ways to improve the experience. Let me explain.
When I saw the word Moonrocks on the bag I was transported to my youth and the Poprocks fad that had every kid crunching on candies that popped and fizzed in your mouth. They were fun, sweet and came in a range of colours and flavours. What made me think that Moonrocks would be anything like the Poprocks remembered so fondly, I don’t know. I guess they sound kinda similar.
Unlike pop rocks, these did not fizz, nor were they sweet. The first time I chewed one, they were so awful and bitter, I almost spit it out. That bitter taste lingered too. It was then that I took a closer look at the package and realized that these were tablets that looked like the moon and I was supposed to take them with water. I could only conclude then that they were not meant to be chewed but rather swallowed. The next time I took one, I did so, but without the recommended water. Letting these things sit on the tongue for longer than a few seconds leaves a bitter taste once again, so I finally took one and swallowed it immediately with the aforementioned water. A little better but not the fun candy I took it to be. In fact as tablets, they’re pretty boring.
The one plus is that there are 15 tablets in the package at 10mg each tablet so they found a way around the ridiculous Canadian dosage limits which is really they’re only redeeming quality. The moon like imprint on the tablets do not make up for the taste or lack of creativity.
Rating: 3/10

on the ocs it doesn’t say how to take them, but other websites say they are sublingual tablets… I have left them under my tongue for so long, they don’t dissolve completely and I last about maximum 5 minutes unless they touch my taste buds then it’s less before I swallow with water. wish they dissolved faster, maybe I’m supposed to crush them and then put them under my tongue hoping I don’t taste it? I wish the 30 capsules for 30 dollars would come back. I appreciate the attempt to bypass the liver with sublingual ingestion but it didn’t work for me
don’t crunch them! the taste is so bitter, it’s not worth it. I just swallow them now with water to avoid the taste. No where on the package does it say that they’re for sublingual consumption. I appreciate that they can skirt around the THC limits with this, but this product was not what I expected and I wouldn’t buy them again.
hi, I love your review; it was fun to read , but please excuse me if may present a critic, you did not please me with a review of the high you got from it!
Hey, I guess you’re right, I never did talk about the high. The high was fine, a warm cozy, body high that you’d expect from an edible, but not my preferred delivery method! Thanks for the comment!
I usually need 30-40 mg to mix with my beer to achieve a nice high.
With these,2 tabs was enough. A little worried about the additive,
betadex.All in all, very satisfied.
I’m unfamiliar with betadex, what’s your concern with that ingredient?
