2017 has been an unprecedented year for the cannabis industry, with voters from four states – California, Nevada, Massachusetts and Maine – signing off on marijuana for recreational use while voters from four more – Florida, Arkansas, North Dakota and Montana – passed legislation to expand its usage medically.
With the increasing demand for cannabis consumption and a diversifying socioeconomic block of users seeking it out, the means and methods of consumption have gotten ever more unique. Marijuana or cannabis edibles are foods – and beverages – that are infused with the cannabinoid THC and/or CBD to provide the psychoactive and therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the harsher need to smoke it.
Eating your cannabis is a great way to indulge both your mind and your taste buds. Take a look at 5 of the Most Popular Edibles from 2017.
Cheeba Chews
Winning 3 Cannabis Cup awards and with 800 stocked dispensaries and 11 different products, Cheeba Chews is an industry leader in perfectly potent, pocket-sized edibles. Imagine a tootsie roll on serious steroids. Cheeba Chews offers you the choice of a 70 mg chew extracted from Sativa, Indica or a Hybrid blend of both. Renowned for their hard-hitting Deca Dose which contains a whopping 175 mg of THC, Cheeba Chews also offers a lesser psychoactive, 50 mg CBD chew.
Kiva
Kiva has stepped up to the plate to provide cannabis users with the ultimate cannabis edible chocolate bar experience. Offering a range of chocolates and flavors – Milk Chocolate, Dark, Espresso, Vanilla Chai, Ginger, Blackberry and more – Kiva has positioned itself as the go-to choice for medical and recreational chocolate indulgence. Their bars come in 180 mg concentrations that are designed to easily break apart into measurable and manageable chunks so you can dose yourself accurately every time. Kiva has more recently expanded their selection to mints, bites, and mini dose chocolate bars.
Mary Jane Juice Vanilla Almond Milk
A third-place winner at this year’s SoCal Cannabis Cup, the organic Vanilla Almond Milk by Mary Jane Juice is a wonderfully drinkable way to consume your cannabis. Combining almond milk, vanilla bean and raw dates for 100 mg of THC per bottle, it’s easy to get a visual reference of your dosage. Add the milk to smoothies or cereal for an interesting twist on wake and bake, or drink as is.
Reef Jerky
Yes, you heard that right. Reef Jerky by Badfish Extracts offers cannabis connoisseurs the first ever THC infused beef jerky. While still in the preparation stage for a full public rollout, this scrumptious and potent beef jerky made some serious waves at the 2017 SoCal Cannabis Cup. Currently offer two options, Maui Wowie and spicy Firestorm both at 100 mg of THC, we can’t wait to see what Badfish Extracts and their signature Reef Jerky has in store for us this coming year.
Zendo Infused Coconut Oil
We just love the new cannabis infused coconut oil by Zendo. Coming in 60 mg packets, this coconut oil is excellent for use as both an edible and a topical applicator. Spike your favorite drinks or use this coconut oil to cook your favorite dishes with. As a topical, let this magical mixture become your go-to massage oil and leave your skin abuzz and aglow.
