Top Cannabis Infused Products and MMJ Edibles in Colorado Dispensaries
Medical marijuana edibles, also known as Cannabis foods, are really just ordinary food products that have included Cannabis in either herbal or resin form as an ingredient. The idea here is that some people do not want to go through the trouble of smoking marijuana or hashish. There are even a number of people who have trouble inhaling due to medical conditions (or otherwise). Medical marijuana edibles are perfect in such situations. Some of the most common types of edibles include cakes, cookies, and brownies. Of course, there are tons of additional edibles that have been created in recent years, thanks to the new laws in Colorado making medical marijuana legal.The majority of medical marijuana edibles are baked goods such as cakes and cookies. The main point of these is to allow the THC (which is the main active ingredient in marijuana) to enter into the bloodstream of the eater. In order for this to happen, the actual marijuana needs to be infused into butter, oil, or alcohol. The result of this infusion is a tincture. This liquid can then be used in all types of edibles and edible recipes.
Types of Marijuana Edibles in Colorado
There are really so many different types of marijuana edible products on the market that it can be a little overwhelming. These can include items like chocolates, cookies, ice creams, and more. Given the factors listed above, you can really put the Cannabis oil or resin in just about anything that is edible, so the following list will undoubtedly grow larger as more companies become more creative and innovative with their recipes.Chocolate Marijuana Treats
The first type of edible product would have to be chocolate. This could include all types of chocolate bars or specialty products. One worth trying is the blackberry dark chocolate bar from River City Phoenix/Kiva Confections. Sugar free chocolates (sort of like kisses, only a little bigger and more potent) from Denver Relief is also a nice alternative.Weed Brownies and Cannabis Infused Cupcakes
When most people think about medical marijuana and edibles, they tend to imagine the traditional hashish laced chocolate brownie. Denver Relief also bakes an incredibly delicious truffle brownie that is to die for! Bakked is another Colorado company that has a tasty brownie edible product (with 100mg of THC). Honestly, almost every good medical marijuana company that offers edibles is likely to have some type of brownie product.Marijuana Cookies
Another excellent type of marijuana edible is cookies. These are also incredibly easy to make since all that is required is to mix the THC resin or oil into the cookie batter. The difficult part is actually ensuring that each cookie receives an equal amount of the marijuana ingredients. Denver Relief also has a lot of different cookie varieties including an M&M cookie, oatmeal cookie, and even a Snickerdoodle cookie, in addition to the original chocolate chip version. There are also Rice Krispie Treats, although whether or not they qualify as a cookie could be debated. Check out Dixie Elixirs to try a few of your own.Ice Cream
Yep, even ice cream is now considered to be a medical marijuana edible product. Mile High Ice Cream has some of the best tasting ice cream that has been infused with medical marijuana. Some of their flavors include Caramel Oreo, Chocolate Cookie Dough, Chocolate Raspberry, Red Raspberry, and Vanilla Bud.Marijuana Hard Candy, Chocolate and Chews
This is another hugely popular market for marijuana edibles. The variety here is almost endless and can include things like gummy bears, hard candies, lollipops, specialty chocolate bars, lozenges, drops, etc... Sweet Stone Candy offers many of these varieties listed above. |

Many people on a health kick love eating granola. Therefore, it is only natural that someone would create a version of granola bars as an edible. Cool Calm Collective has put together something they call Hearts of Hemp Granola Bar. This comes in professional packaging and has 125 mg of THC, with 2-4 doses per bar.Cannabis Cakes
There is a tremendous amount of variety in medical marijuana infused cakes. In fact, it would even be possible to have a wedding or birthday party cake created (although they would likely be quite expensive). Running Dogs offers a fantastic product they call Captain Kirk's Oklahoma Sweet Cake. The cake itself is infused with THC, plus they also supply a caramel sauce that is also THC infused. Simply pour over the cake for a full strength dose. 3rd Gen Family also makes an excellent Pineapple Turnover Cake that you will be delighted to try.
