When it comes to cannabis edibles, there’s nothing quite as iconic as the infused brownie. Even most non-cannabis users have heard of or come across “magic” brownies at least once. Depending on the strain used in baking, these chocolatey, decadent squares produce a high and effective relief from various ailments. While you could whip up a box mix with some eggs and cannabis-infused butter or oil, why not go the extra mile and create a homemade weed brownie recipe that will really satisfy those taste buds? Here are a few to try.

Easy Cannabis Brownies

These are great if you want that “classic” brownie taste and texture.

What you need:
‌
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup cannabis coconut oil or cannabutter
1 cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease an 8 by 8 metal baking pan. Next, sift your dry ingredients in a large bowl and cream your cannabutter (or coconut oil) and sugar. Add the eggs next, followed by the vanilla. Finally, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low to incorporate everything.
‌
Pour the batter into the baking dish and lightly tap it to ensure everything’s even. If you want, add some crushed walnuts or chocolate chips on top. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Test the brownies with a toothpick to ensure doneness. Cut into nine squares.

S’Mores Cannabis Brownies

These are perfect for a summer night around the campfire.
‌
What you’ll need:
‌
¼ cup cannabutter
¼ cup light vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup mini marshmallows
4 graham crackers
8 ounces of chopped milk chocolate

Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Grease your medium baking dish and set it aside. Whisk your eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and sugar together. Add the flour, cocoa powder, melted cannabutter, and oil, and whisk it all until it’s well combined.
‌
Pour the mixture into your baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. In the meantime, mix broken graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows in a bowl. Sprinkle the mix on the brownies and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool for about 10 minutes and cut them into squares.

Paleo Pot Brownies

These brownies are delicious as is (and secretly gluten-free!), but you can customize them to be vegan, as well.
‌
What you need:
‌
¼ cup creamy, unsweetened almond butter
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons cane sugar
1/3 cup raw honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
1 ½ tablespoons of melted cannabis coconut oil
1/8 cup melted coconut oil (not infused)
¾ cup unsweetened raw cacao powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs (2 tablespoons of ground flax plus 6 tablespoons of water for vegan)
½ cup blanched almond flour
½ cup vegan chocolate chunks (optional)
‌
Preheat your oven to 325° Fahrenheit and grease an 8 by 8 baking dish. Whisk the almond butter, sugar, honey, and both types of oil together. Add the cacao powder a little at a time, then the vanilla, salt, and eggs (or flax eggs). Fold in the almond flour with a spatula until you have a thick batter (it will resemble wet dough). Fold in the chocolate chunks if you’re using them and put the batter into the baking dish. Bake the brownies for 28 to 36 minutes, and let the pan cool for a couple of hours before slicing into 12 to 14 squares.
‌
Weed brownies might be iconic, but that doesn’t mean that you have to limit yourself. Feel free to experiment with your favorite brownie (or blondie!) recipes. You might just find your new favorite edible!

Who doesn’t love candy? It’s sweet, satisfying, and delicious. There are also a variety of different types, meaning that there’s something for almost everyone. From fruity to sour to chocolatey, the options are practically endless. The only thing that could make candy better? Candy infused with cannabis. Well, guess what? Cannabis candy is a thing, and, much like regular candies, there’s something to suit almost every taste bud. 

What Is Cannabis Candy?

Cannabis candy is just what you think it is, candy that also contains cannabis. There are all kinds of different options on the market, including:

• Hard candies
• Gummies 
• Lozenges
• Lollipops
• Chocolates

In addition to a range of options, cannabis candies come in a variety of flavors. No matter what you typically enjoy, you’re sure to find something to enjoy that also provides you with the added benefits of cannabinoids. 

Discreet Dosing Made Easy

One of the most significant benefits of cannabis candy is that it offers discreet dosing. Cannabis candies look like any other type of regular candy and lack any distinct look or odor that would say otherwise. To any onlookers, it appears as though you’re enjoying a hard candy or popping a square of a chocolate bar. They’d never be able to tell that you’re actually getting a dose of cannabis at the same time. 

Other Benefits of Cannabis-Infused Candies

Discreet dosing is just one benefit of cannabis candies. These tasty options offer one of the most accurate dosing methods. You know exactly how much THC (and CBD) is in each serving of your chosen candy, whether that’s one square of chocolate, two gummies, or a lollipop. There’s no guesswork needed.

Another benefit of cannabis candy is that they’re perfect for microdosing. In many cases, a serving of cannabis candy offers 5 to 10mg of THC. If you want to microdose, you can take a square of chocolate with 5mg of THC and break it in half. In some cases, you may find some candies, such as chocolate drops or gummies, that have 2.5mg of THC, a dose size excellent for those looking to consume smaller amounts of THC.

Cannabis candies don’t require that you smoke or vape. As such, you don’t have to worry about any impact on your lungs. One thing to keep in mind is that it does take longer for you to feel the effects of the cannabinoids. The reason for this is because you have to digest the candy first. Even so, the effects last longer. This means that you don’t have to consume as much throughout the day to maintain the results. 

Where to Get It

From fruity to chocolatey and everything in between, there’s a cannabis candy for everyone. These infused candies offer a discreet way to get your dose. Not only that, but they allow for more accurate dosing, including microdosing.

Smoking has long been the go-to method of cannabis consumption. Today, there are several other ways to enjoy cannabis. Dispensaries carry various products from buds to topicals and everything in between. While many users seek out high THC products, there are plenty who prefer CBD-heavy options. One smoke-free method of CBD use that’s been growing in popularity is CBD-infused drinks.  

Benefits of CBD

Many cannabis enthusiasts enjoy THC-rich products. The cannabinoid provides effective pain relief, and it can help to alleviate a broad range of ailments. It’s also the compound in the plant responsible for the high you feel.

Not everyone wants to experience the mind-altering effects of THC. CBD products, many of which contain smaller to no amounts of THC, provide an alternative. While those containing equal or slightly lower amounts of THC can affect the mind, the high is generally mellower and more manageable. Those with substantially lower to no THC typically produce no noticeable high. 

The absence of psychoactive effects is one reason why people look for CBD strains and products. Other benefits of the cannabinoid include:

• Relief from inflammation
• Reduced anxiety
• Improved sleep quality 
• May provide anti-cancer effects

What Are CBD-Infused Drinks?

There are various CBD products on the market. Some of the most common include tinctures, vape oils, and infused edibles. CBD-infused drinks fall into the edibles category, a group of cannabis-infused items you consume. Depending on the dispensary, you might find items such as:

• Sparkling waters
• Juices
• Coffee
• Tea
• Mocktail mixes
• Non-alcoholic beers and wines

CBD-infused drinks include CBD-only beverages as well as those that contain a combination of CBD and THC. Some companies offer a range of different dosage amounts, enabling you to find a product that you enjoy and that provides you with the desired results. 

Reasons to Try a CBD-Infused Beverage

One of the biggest benefits of CBD-infused beverages is that they provide a smoke-free option. Instead of inhaling the cannabinoids, you drink them. You don’t have to worry about any adverse effects on your lungs. 

Other reasons to try CBD-infused beverages include:

• They’re discreet (they don’t produce smoke or a noticeable odor)
• They’re portable 
• They’re incredibly easy to use 
• They come in a vast range of options, so you can find a flavor and type of beverage that suits your tastes 
• CBD-only options (and those with very low amounts of THC) won’t cause a noticeable high

CBD-Infused Drinks to Try

With so many options on the market, you might be wondering which ones are the best. Choosing a CBD-infused drink depends mainly on your personal preferences. Here, we’ll take a quick look at some of the best beverages to try:

Cannabis Quenchers CBD Raspberry Hibiscus

Cannabis Quenchers offers a few different cannabis-infused mocktail mixes, most of which are high in THC. The company’s CBD Raspberry Hibiscus offers a 4:1 high CBD option. Each capful provides 2mg of CBD and 0.5mg of THC. 

Oh Hi CBD-Infused Sparkling Seltzer

Oh Hi offers two lines of infused drinks. Their CBD line includes flavors such as lemon-lime and ginger basil limeade. Each can provides 15mg of CBD. 

Lagunitas Hi-Fi Hops Unplugged

Lagunitas is well-known for its beer. The company also produces a couple of cannabis-infused beers, which don’t contain any actual alcohol. The Hi-Fi Hops Unplugged contains 18mg of CBD and less than 2mg THC per bottle.
