5 Hidden Uses for Hometown Hero Products

Home > Blog > 5 Hidden Uses for Hometown Hero Products

Does anyone read the directions on the box these days? I surely don’t.

But as someone who has worked in the cannabis industry for almost half a decade, I have a lot of experience trying out lots of different types of cannabis products.

And in my “studies,” I’ve uncovered new and interesting applications that aren’t officially sanctioned by our marketing department. In other words… hidden uses.

So if you’re looking to:

Pick up the best travel stash
Stay sharp at night
Beat the afternoon slump
Upgrade your smoothies

And a bit more... you’re in the right place. Let’s get to it.

The “Peak” Travel Stash

Product: 100mg Peak Gummy
What They’re For: People with higher tolerances
Hidden Use: Easy-to-pack travel edibles

Cannabis tolerances are all over the place. For some people, 100mg of delta-9 is a fun ride over their regular limits or even a nice edge off. For others (like me), 100mg would have left them sitting on the floor of their home, questioning all their life decisions.

But for me, I’ve found that a Delta-9 Peak Gummy is excellent for travel because:
The small bag takes up less space in luggage vs. our standard 10ct bags
The gummy is scored in 25mg quarters (basically 4 gummies for vacation)

So when it comes to edibles, the Delta-9 Peak Gummy is my go-to when I’m trying to save some space in my carry-on luggage. And yes, I did say “carry-on luggage,” as in, I’ve flown with our gummies before.

“Gummies on a plane?”

Yes. You. Can.

Hemp is federally legal, airspace is under the federal government’s jurisdiction, and you can bring hemp gummies to states where they are legal. You can find out more in our official “Can You Fly With Edibles” blog.

Just make sure not to bring hemp gummies on an international flight unless it’s your dream to end up on the show “Locked Up Abroad.” You do you.

Now, if you’re thinking, “Wow, a Peak Gummy for travel? That’s such a good idea!” I can’t take any credit. The inspiration for this “hidden use” actually comes from our customers like you.

“Love the 100mg bricks for travel. Easy to pack and easy to split into multiple doses. Great flavor too!” - Stephanie

“I use Delta 9 for euphoria, and I have found my comfort zone at about 12 mg. This smaller packaging allows for a few weekends without deterioration due to a larger package being open, and these smaller packages travel well.” - Andrew R

“Good flavor and effect. Easily divided for use and works perfectly for throwing in a pack to hike or travel. Great quality as always.” - Rob

So Stephanie, Andrew, and Rob, if you’re out there, thank you for the inspiration in unlocking a new use for our signature 100mg delta-9 gummy:

Staying Sharp After Dark

Product: Sativas
What They’re For: Daytime focus, energy, and creativity
Hidden Use: A late-night productivity (or fun) hack

We all know that sativas are for the day and indicas are for the night, right?

That’s how you’re supposed to enjoy them, and to suggest otherwise would be considered absolute heresy among hundreds, maybe even thousands of years of cannabis tradition.

Well, I am suggesting otherwise with the nighttime sativa. What product is the nighttime sativa?

It’s nothing specific, as there are plenty of options to choose from, but as long as the terpene profile is known to produce uplifting effects like energy, focus, or creativity, then you’re on the right track.

But why would anyone consume a sativa at night?

There are plenty of great reasons. Maybe you need something to help you power through an all-nighter of bills, chores, and other boring “adulting” tasks.

Perhaps you’re going to a social get-together and don’t want to be nodding off.

Or maybe that game you wishlisted a year ago just got released today, and you plan on playing it until 3 am (been there, no judgement).

I’ve personally found sativas to be an excellent option for nights when you want a boost of energy but also want to settle down.

But because of their stimulating effects, I generally have a lower than normal serving if I’m enjoying a sativa at night, compared to when I have an indica product at night. That’s just what works for me, but feel free to try it out and see what works for you.

Nonetheless, I’d recommend trying out a nighttime sativa at least once.

The Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

ORCA Energy taken before a workout for a boost of stamina.

Product: ORCA Energy
What They’re For: Pre-workout energy
Hidden Use: Beating the afternoon workday slump

Let me know if the following situation sounds a bit familiar. You’re lying in bed at 3:25 am, wondering why you can’t sleep. Then... all of a sudden, you vividly recall that energy drink you had about 14 hours earlier, and you’re now cursing your past self for condemning you to a bout of insomnia.

Sound familiar? If not, I envy you. If so, you might want to check out ORCA Energy.

What is ORCA Energy? Officially, it’s a pre-workout microdose THC pill that contains 2mg THC and 15mg of caffeine, along with B vitamins, zinc, and other minerals.

And don’t get me wrong, I’ve gone on some pretty nice runs (okay, maybe jogs) along the Greenbelt here in Austin with ORCA Energy.

But I’ve also found they help me break through that afternoon weekday slump with a boost of energy, while not leaving me too “spacey” since they’re microdosed and not leaving me full of regret the next morning (the average cup of coffee has 95mg of caffeine, these just have 15mg).

So yeah, if you’re looking for a solid afternoon alternative to coffee or energy drinks without the jitters or regrets, check out ORCA Energy for this hidden use.

The Universal Modulator

Product: CBDA + CBGA Relief Tincture
What It’s Used For: Non-psychoactive relief
Hidden Use: Fine-tuning your THC experience

On its own, the CBDA + CBGA Relief Tincture is an excellent option if you’re looking for a low-key, non-psychoactive sense of calm and balance.

However, things get really interesting when you don’t enjoy it on its own. That’s because while it’s a solid solo act, THC plays well with other compounds, especially those from the same plant.

This is often called the “entourage effect,” which basically means that other cannabinoids can influence how THC feels, whether its strength, smoothness, or overall manageability.

And the best part? You can combine this tincture with just about any THC product to give it a slightly different feel. Smoother? Balanced? Just better...suited for what you’re looking for?

With an easy-to-use measuring dropper, you can mix and match to unlock new possibilities.

Double Take Smoothies

Product: Double Take Gummies
What They’re Used For: A fast-acting, long-lasting edible
Hidden Use: Creating a fast-acting, long-lasting drink

What if I told you the best product for making smoothies wasn’t DASH, our Agave THC Syrup, or our THC Drink Mixes (all of which are great), but rather... a gummy?

Shocking, right?

Well, several years ago, I remember reading a customer review about someone who would throw our Delta-8 gummies into their smoothies and thought, “Wow, that’s pretty genius.”

So naturally... I tried it myself. And it worked. But now, with Double Take Gummies, it works even better.

Why? Because Double Take has both fast-acting nano THC and long-lasting THC.

Just like other drinks, you will get a nice wave of plant-based sunshine that sets in around 15 minutes. But unlike other THC drinks, you get the stronger classic edible experience that lasts for hours on end.

Now, did we create Double Take Gummies to make smoothies? No. Absolutely not.

Does it work surprisingly well anyway? Yes. 100%.
