INTRODUCTION TO PETRA MINTS

WHAT ARE PETRA CANNABIS-INFUSED MINTS?

Petra Mints are a line of microdosed edible cannabis mints produced by Kiva Confections, a well-known California-based edibles manufacturer. These mints are marketed toward users seeking a discreet, controlled, and low-dose experience with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), or both.

Each mint typically contains 2.5mg or 5mg of THC or CBD, depending on the variety. The idea is to give consumers a way to use cannabis without smoking or vaping—and without committing to a strong edible.

PRODUCT VARIETIES

POPULAR FLAVORS OF PETRA MINTS

Petra Mints come in a wide variety of flavors. Each flavor may be associated with a particular cannabinoid profile (e.g., THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, hybrid). Some popular options include:

Moroccan Mint (5mg THC): Classic minty flavor, energizing.

Pineapple (2.5mg THC): Uplifting and tropical.

Citrus CBD (2.5mg CBD, <0.5mg THC): Calming, non-intoxicating.

Sausage Spice (limited edition): A novelty flavor with balanced effects.

Tart Cherry (2.5mg THC): A rich, fruity flavor with relaxing properties.

Each mint usually has 2.5mg of THC or CBD, making it easy to start small and build up gradually—a concept known as microdosing.

CANNABINOID PROFILES

THC, CBD, AND MICRODOSING

Petra Mints often contain:

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): The psychoactive compound in cannabis responsible for the “high.”

CBD (Cannabidiol): A non-psychoactive compound associated with anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and general wellness benefits.

Microdosing refers to taking a very small dose of THC or CBD, often in the range of 1–5mg, to achieve subtle effects without intoxication.

Benefits of microdosing might include:

Mood enhancement

Stress or anxiety reduction

Increased focus or creativity

Improved sleep when taken at night

ONSET TIME AND DURATION

WHEN WILL IT KICK IN?

Unlike smoking or vaping, cannabis edibles—including mints—need time to digest before they start working.

Onset Time: Typically 30 to 90 minutes

Duration: Effects can last 2 to 4 hours, sometimes longer

However, because mints dissolve in the mouth, sublingual absorption may lead to faster onset than traditional edibles.

SAFETY AND DOSING GUIDELINES

START LOW AND GO SLOW

This is the golden rule of edibles.

Beginners should start with 2.5mg THC or less

Wait at least 90 minutes before increasing dose

Avoid combining with alcohol or other substances

SIDE EFFECTS TO WATCH FOR

While rare at microdoses, higher doses or sensitivity could lead to:

Drowsiness or fatigue

Dry mouth
