Space Gem is one of the rare California edible brands that still feels like it was built by a person, not a big company. The colors, the softness, the playful flavors, all of it stands out. But the part that truly defines the brand is the woman steering it. Wendy Baker, a Humboldt pioneer through and through, built Space Gem long before California’s regulated market cared about craft edibles. She’s the main reason the brand still feels human today.
She’s also the reason Space Gem never drifted into the distillate-heavy lane that swallowed so many edible companies. And she’s the reason the Flying Saucer gummies, Space Gem’s 100mg high-potency offering, carry more personality, more care, and more full-spectrum cannabis expression than almost anything else on the shelves.
Let’s dive into what makes these products and this brand so great.
Ice Water Hash as the Foundation, Not the Marketing Angle
Flying Saucers are built around one decision that shapes everything else about them, they’re made with pure ice water hash, no distillate, no shortcuts, no chemical aftertaste hiding under fruit flavor.
High-potency weed gummies in California are usually distillate-based for one reason: it’s cheaper and easier.
Flying Saucers refuse that logic. These are 100mg gummies made the way edibles used to be made before everything became simplified down to dosage math.
Using hash in a potent gummy changes the entire experience. The onset is smoother. The peak lands fuller. The effect sticks around without the harsh edge distillate brings at high milligram levels.
Potency in distillate often means “fast and sharp.”
Potency in hash means “slow, steady, full.”
Flying Saucers live entirely in the second category.
The Texture, The Color, and the Feel of Something Still Made by a Person Who Cares
Flying Saucers look like they belong in the same universe as the rest of Space Gem’s line. They’re delicious and the texture lets you know the batch came from a kitchen mindset, not a candy-factory one.
Space Gem’s identity doesn’t come from marketing teams or external voices, it comes from Wendy, and everything she’s built since the early Humboldt days. She didn’t grow this brand by following trends; she grew it by consistently doing the right thing and sticking to what she knows the industry and customers want.
When most companies switched to distillate, she stuck with hash. When the market started flattening everything into low-dose wellness branding or high dose candy, she created a 100mg edible that still felt like a small-batch craft product.
Being woman-owned and woman-operated isn’t a tagline for Space Gem. It’s the center of gravity.
It’s why the products feel the way they do, why they taste similar yet different from batch to batch, why they’re bright, joyful, and built with a kind of emotional precision you only get from someone who refuses to turn their craft into a commodity.
Flying Saucers, along with the other Space Gem products don’t feel like the high-dose gummies the market trained us to expect. These come with love, flavor, and better, higher quality cannabis.
A Potent Gummy That Still Feels Like Humboldt
You can taste the region in these gummies. Not literally, but through the way they move. Humboldt has always valued slowness, intention, craft, and care. Even as the industry changed, the best Humboldt-rooted creators carried those values with them.
Flying Saucers carry that rhythm. They don’t hit like something manufactured. They hit like something built in a place where cannabis wasn’t just a product, it was a way of living, a way of creating, a way of expressing.
Strong edibles tend to be defined by their punch. Flying Saucers, even the real alien ones, have always been defined by their presence.
The high is potent, of course it is, they’re 100mg, but it’s not necessarily overwhelming. It rises. It unfolds. You feel the hash, the fruit, the craft, the Humboldt patience baked into the recipe. It’s the kind of edible you can actually settle into rather than just survive.
