Don’t want to read? (LOL.) Learn all about Mondo in the mymilligram product review video on YouTube!

Sound the trumpets! One of my absolute favorite cannabis products is back! Oh, how we missed you, oh magical Mondo cannabis powder! This is one of the many incredible artisan products we lost when cannabis was legalized in California, but fortunately founder and maker Emily O’Brien fought hard to bring it back to the legal market, so here we are. The cannabis sparkles have returned! (If you’re in Northern California, you can order Mondo for delivery on Sava.)

I truly adore Mondo, and a big part of the fun is turning other people on to it because it’s so well-made and unique—and ethereally delicious. It’s the ultimate cannabis condiment! Mondo is a fluffy, dissolving powder made with organic coconut oil, organic cacao butter, maltodextrin (from tapioca starch, which helps with absorption), and Blue Dream cannabis grown by a Clean Green Certified farmer in Humboldt, so it’s free of pesticides and chemicals (it’s as close to an organic designation you can get for cannabis, which isn’t possible because organic is a USDA certification). Emily wants the product to be as eco-conscious and sustainable as possible, and is working on achieving a zero-carbon footprint.

Emily was inspired to create a daily edible after recovering from a back injury and was suffering from chronic pain and nausea. Through cannabis use, she got off her pain meds, but she wanted to create a healthy, daily edible that wasn’t sugar-intense, and wouldn’t make her sleepy or foggy. She originally was making Mondo granola bars, but pivoted to make the powder after she moved to California. She was on a quest to make the most medicinal product possible.

Emily found that the Blue Dream strain was the most beneficial to most people, and the coconut oil extraction method is an excellent solvent and works well with many people’s bodies. She also worked in the culinary world in some Napa kitchens, so it was important to her that the product was as delicious as it was effective. Emily also knew how much people enjoy the precise dosing of gummy bears, so she ending up creating the ultimate product for herself as a microdoser. 

What I love about this product is it’s great for newcomers to cannabis to use to explore dosage; the high is uplifting yet gentle if you go low and slow—no paranoia here. Just mood sparkles!

Mondo is so tasty—with notes of cacao and coconut—that I like to sprinkle it right under my tongue. Keep in mind one scoop is 3mg of THC, so you could start with a little less than a full scoop—just try a tiny bit of this fairy dust in the beginning and see how you feel. You could start feeling some effects in 15–20 minutes, and some folks may take even longer, like an hour. (It depends upon how hydrated you are, and whether you take it with food or not.) I find it to be pretty fast-acting when I let it dissolve under my tongue.

Wait a few hours before doing more if you are new to cannabis. You can come back again for the same amount the next day and titrate (adjust your dosage) up from there. Remember to go low and slow—it tastes so good you may want to get a little crazy with it. Don’t. Slow your roll.

How I like to use Mondo

You can sprinkle it on your parfait, your smoothie, or matcha latte, on some toast with butter, or on your pancakes and waffles! Ice cream says, “High!” It’s truly the ultimate cannabis condiment!

I’ll take little dips throughout the day, especially when I’m catching up on emails and all the articles in my browser tabs that have been waiting for me to read them all week. I find it’s great for productivity. It provides happy vibes and clarity, and can enhance an experience (like your dinner, or a hike, or a hangout with friends), inspiring you to slow down while you witness and enjoy the moment, or it can amp up your conversation, or dancing in your apartment. It can also kick in your appetite, so don’t be surprised if you have some munchies appear—especially after a Mondo walk!

So, about those Mondo walks. I live right by Golden Gate Park, so I sprinkle a 3mg scoop on and under my tongue and let it dissolve. Then I tie on my running shoes, and head out the door. By the time I’m in the park 15 minutes later, I’m starting to feel lifted and things look a little bright and sparkly. I’ll enjoy power-walking to house music, phone calls with friends or mom, brainstorming about my business (mymilligram=built by Mondo!), daydreaming, deeper thinking, and watching all the funny animals (and people!) in the park. By the time I get home about an hour later, I’m at a cruising altitude, and totally fine to get back to work, just feeling a bit more exhilarated and uplifted about everything. Try a Mondo walk, I highly (ha-ha) recommend it.

Mondo comes with a travel tin, which I often carry in my mymilligram fanny pack to re-up when I want more, and I usually have one stashed in my purse as well. Mondo-a-go-go!

I know you want to keep your new friend close-by, but just use the travel tin—be sure to refrigerate your jar of Mondo after you open it. The jar contains 100mg of THC, and you’ll have 33 3mg scoops.
