Pre-legalization, cannabis edibles were often cooked in basements and apartment kitchens. Figuring out the exact potency was almost impossible. Now, professional extractors and gourmet chefs work together to make delicious, perfectly dosed edibles. Here are five awesome edibles to try:
Evergreen Organix Rice Cereal Treat
Snacking on this treat can induce a rush of nostalgia if you used to eat rice cereal treats as a kid. Of course, the Evergreen Organix version comes with a big difference—100mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Gooey sugar and crunchy rice cereal are mixed to create a sweet, potent combination.

Cann Blood Orange Cardamom Social Tonic
If you’re looking for a slight buzz, you can try Cann’s Social Tonic. The fizzy drink is infused with 2mg of THC and 4 mg cannabidiol (CBD). It’s a great social drink for people who want to relax but don’t want to drink alcohol. The blood orange flavor is reminiscent of a wine spritzer. [Nevada, California, and Rhode Island]
Incredibles Peanut Budda Buddha
You don’t need to add cannabis to make a chocolate peanut butter bar sound enticing, but it doesn’t hurt. This bar from the Incredibles is full of salty pretzel chunks, which give it a nice crunch. Because peanut butter is such a strong flavor, the Buddha bar might be a good choice for people who aren’t used to edibles and are wary of intense cannabis flavors.

Pop-up Potcorn Jalapeño Cheddar Popcorn
Popcorn is the ultimate snack food; you can graze on it for hours if you want, relishing the taste and texture of every bite. Potcorn sells ready-to-eat and microwavable bags. If you buy the jalapeño cheddar version, the cheese and the spice add to the flavor of full spectrum live resin oil. [California]
Sweet Reason CBD Sparkling Grapefruit Water
CBD-infused edibles are hugely popular as well. These won’t intoxicate, but many people report feeling more relaxed after consuming CBD. Sparkling grapefruit water by Sweet Reason is a light, refreshing drink perfect for a hot day. [Continental US]
