CANNABIS EDIBLES OFFER SOMETHING UNIQUE
A Different Type Of High Than Smoking
Marijuana brownies are usually the first thing to pop into consumers’ minds when thinking of edibles. But weed edibles actually come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and product types. They can include cookies, gummy candies, sodas, milks, chocolate bars, and pretty much anything you can imagine.
For consumers who choose not to smoke their marijuana, edibles are a convenient and discreet way to consume cannabis. Marijuana edibles are made by infusing food or drink with different strains of weed. Many users report that edibles offer a high that is more calm and relaxing than smoking. Also, since you’re not smoking you won’t have any problems with cannabis smell and won’t have to wipe your entire house down with Can-A-Wipes consumption…
With edibles, however, it becomes particularly important to understand your dosage. The effects of edibles can be hard to predict and tend to differ between individuals.
Unlike smoking, where tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) enters the body through the lungs, edibles cause cannabinoids (CBD) to enter through the gastrointestinal tract. This process results in a high that is usually much more intense and lasts much longer.
Most states in the US mandate that the total milligrams of THC and number of servings be included on edible packaging.
This is CannaVerse Solutions guide to the best edibles online.
Edibles include a variety of dosages of THC, ranging from as little as 5 or 10 milligrams to as high as 1,0000 milligrams. Edible products manufactured to contain a high dosage of THC should be consumed in multiple, preferably separate, servings.
Indulgent and dense edibles such as brownies or chocolate bars take longer to digest, which means it will take longer for consumers to get high. Infused drinks and tinctures, on the other hand, work their magic much faster.
According to High Times, weed edibles with a high concentration of THC have a smaller but more dedicated consumer base, and these patients tend to purchase edibles more often than the recreational user. High-dose edible consumers can include very ill patients who need marijuana to deal with the difficult symptoms of cancer and other diseases.
Included in this group can be those dealing with severe, chronic pain. Several edibles dealers note that high-dose edibles are popular with insomniacs and others needing help with sleep.
Since the legalization of medical marijuana in a number of states across the US, the weed edibles industry has exploded. Many companies have put their edibles online as a quick and convenient way to advertise their products to dispensaries. We’ve found some of the best, most innovative new edibles available online. Ranging from recreational to medicinal dosages, these weed edibles are transforming the cannabis industry.
Note that, in 2018 there are fantastic cannabis subscription boxes that deliver fresh new edibles, flowers and all kinds of fun cannabis related goods right to your door. In fact, it was Lucky Box Club that helped us get our hands on some of the more exclusive edibles on this list. Check em out!
CANNABIS COFFEE
Fairwinds Catapult Infused Coffee
THC: 10mg
Cannabis infused coffee has been on the market for some time, but now consumers can brew it in their Keurigs. Fairwinds, based in Vancouver, Washington, makes Catapult Infused Coffee pods. Sold all over Washington, the cannabis K-Cups Pods have been all the rage recently. Weed and coffee go great together and Fairwinds saw an opening in the market and turned it into a successful product line.
Catapult pods work with standard, single serve coffee makers, and contain 10 mg of THC per serving, or cup. Don’t have a coffee maker? The premium grounds taste just as good and have the same effect if you “pop” the top off and brew it in your French press.
The coffee’s maker describes the blend as “a premium series of cannabis-infused coffee beans that feature local Northwest coffee roasters whom supply premium, freshly roasted coffee beans from coffee regions throughout the world.”
Users have reported that the coffee pods have a great balance. The coffee gave them more energy, of course, but they still felt the same level of relaxation that comes with low doses of cannabis. The company’s cannabis-fueled brew has the potential to make that Monday morning commute a lot more enjoyable.
“Caffeine and marijuana is a great blend
that makes for a smooth morning routine”
Tedd Wetherbee owns The Gallery marijuana shop in Tacoma, Washington and told The Cannabist that the Catapult pods have been a big hit since deciding to carry them in his store. “People enjoy the novelty of it. As this market grows, people are looking for more and more products and more and more ways to enjoy their marijuana. Washington and coffee, Seattle and coffee go hand in a hand, and the Fairwinds people came up with this idea that makes a lot of sense.”
Other products in Fairwinds’ line include tinctures made with coconut oil, capsules, and oils specifically made for inhaling. The products are available at numerous Washington marijuana retailers. They are also pushing the needle forward for the entire cannabis industry as they have become the first DOH (department of health) compliant cannabis company in the state of Washington.

PS: A little birdie told us that Fairwinds has an interesting line of new products waiting to be released this year so make sure to follow their Instagram.

CANNABIS SODA
Mirth Provisions Legal Rainier Sparkling Cherry Tonic
THC: 20mg
Another Washington-based manufacturer zeroing in on the weed edibles market is Mirth Provisions. Although the company originally set out to make cold-brewed coffee, Washington regulations in 2015 regarding bottling pasteurized THC products caused the company to shift focus. Now Mirth’s product line, called Legal, consists of sodas and sparkling tonics. Each bottle of their flavored tonics contains 20 milligrams of THC oil, enough for two modest servings.
The flavors are available in Pomegranate, Lemon Ginger, and Rainier Cherry, which is made with fresh Washington cherries and locally grown cannabis extract. The Rainier Cherry flavor is infused with a hybrid strain, which is reported to give users a clear-headed yet relaxed high.
Mirth Provisions’ tonic line caters to recreational consumers seeking a low-dose high. They state on their website that their sweet, fruity tonics pair well with music festivals, house parties, and “riding through the clouds on the back of a mythological beast.”
And because each bottle contains two full servings, each bottle of tonic is perfect for sharing with a friend, spreading out over multiple days, or for doubling up to create a more powerful ride for those more experienced with edibles.

Cheeba Chews Indica Quad Dose
THC: 70mg

¹ It is impressive that 70 mg. of THC is packed into a single bite-sized chewy taffy piece. Users report that these cannabis caramels come on strong and fast. They come packaged one to a box, but it would not be too difficult to cut into smaller pieces. In fact, recreational users highly recommend doing just that.
The taste of the chew is classically, leaving no doubt in a consumer’s mind that you they are consuming a very strongly-dosed marijuana edible. Thankfully, they don’t have to eat a lot. With a reputation for consistency, consumers of the Cheeba Chew can be confident that they will have a predictable experience every time they have one.
“America’s favorite edible”
– High Times Magazine
The Quad Dose Chews are infused with Indica. Indica strains most often provide a pleasant body buzz.

Indica is also very effective for overall body pain relief, and is often used in the treatment of insomnia.
Because the dosages are so customizable, these chews are perfect for both recreational consumers wanting a low dose, and for medicinal patients seeking pain relief.

WEED BROWNIES
Venice Cookie Company The 4.20 Brownie
THC: 1’000mg

On December 20, 2018, the U.S. Federal Government authorized the removal of hemp from the Schedule I controlled substances list, converting it into an ordinary agricultural commodity overnight. As such, the country’s already seeing evidence of the range of hemp-derived CBD products that are set to take the industry by storm in 2019.
