The THC Gummies That Finally Got the Dose Right: Our Honest Batch Review

After months of testing these 5mg gummies, here's why "microdosing" might be the secret to actually enjoying cannabis edibles

There's nothing worse than taking a cannabis gummy and spending the next four hours questioning every life decision you've ever made while staring at the ceiling, wondering when the room will stop spinning. If you've ever had a bad edible experience, you know exactly what we're talking about.

That's precisely where we found ourselves a few months ago after a particularly unfortunate encounter with a 25mg gummy that promised "relaxation" but delivered something closer to an existential crisis. We were ready to write off THC gummies entirely when we discovered Batch—a company that's built their entire philosophy around something revolutionary in the cannabis world: less is actually more.

Spoiler alert: they're absolutely right.

What Makes Batch Gummies Different

While most cannabis companies seem to be in an arms race to create the highest-dose gummies possible, Batch took the opposite approach. Their Recreation THC gummies contain just 5mg of THC—a fraction of what you'll find in most dispensary products.

But here's what makes them special: they're not just low-dose THC. Each gummy combines that 5mg of THC with varying amounts of CBD and other cannabinoids, creating three distinct experiences:

Mellow (Blueberry): 25mg CBD + 5mg THC for deep relaxation

Hybrid (Watermelon): 10mg CBD + 5mg THC + 5mg CBC for balanced effects

Uplift (Tangerine): 5mg CBD + 5mg THC for energizing clarity

The genius is in the ratios—you get the benefits of THC without the overwhelming psychoactive effects that make so many people swear off edibles forever.

Our Real-World Testing Experience

Finding the Perfect Dose We started cautiously with half a gummy (2.5mg THC), which provided a subtle, barely-there effect. Moving up to a full 5mg gummy hit the sweet spot perfectly—a gentle, pleasant buzz that enhanced whatever we were doing without taking over the experience.

After months of testing, we can confidently say that 5mg is the Goldilocks dose for most people. You won't get lost in the clouds contemplating the meaning of existence, but you will feel a nice, manageable buzz that's just right.

The Uplift Advantage Of the three blends, Uplift (Tangerine) became our clear favorite. The combination of 5mg CBD and 5mg THC creates an energizing, clear-headed effect that's perfect for social situations or creative activities. Unlike higher-dose gummies that can make you antisocial or anxious, Uplift actually makes conversations more engaging and activities more enjoyable.

Perfect for Social Settings We've used these gummies in various social situations—dinner parties, game nights, casual hangouts with friends—and they consistently enhance the experience without overwhelming it. The effects last for a few hours but not so long that you feel stuck or unable to function normally.

The Alcohol Alternative One unexpected benefit: these gummies have become our go-to alcohol alternative. They provide relaxation and social lubrication without the calories, hangover, or impaired judgment that comes with drinking. For anyone looking to reduce their alcohol consumption, Batch gummies offer a genuinely appealing substitute.

The Convenience Factor

The ordering process is straightforward, shipping is discreet and fast, and you never have to worry about running out or making special trips to restock.

Seed-to-Door Transparency

What sets Batch apart from other cannabis companies is complete vertical integration. They own their Wisconsin hemp farm, control the entire extraction and manufacturing process, and provide full transparency about every ingredient.

In an industry where you often have no idea where your cannabis comes from or how it's processed, Batch's seed-to-door approach provides genuine peace of mind. You know exactly what you're getting and where it came from.
