Everyone knows about pot brownies, absolutely everyone. It’s one of the most common ways to consume weed. It has even graced the silver screens, from stoner classics like I Love You Alice B Toklas and High School to mainstream movies like Hall Pass and EuroTrip. Heck, it’s also a recurring joke in most soaps and sitcoms. And this was way before it was legalized.
Now that it is legal in most states, the edible scene is a little more creative. Your pick-me-up doesn’t have to be a homemade brownie. Now it can come in all kinds of forms, flavors, and potencies.
Vegan? Non-Vegan?
Sweet? Salty?
THC? CBD?
The choice is yours.
If you are new to CBD products and are looking for an edible to start – consider Full-spectrum CBD.
What Is Full-Spectrum CBD?
The cannabis plant is made of three main elements: cannabinoids (THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids. Most products usually isolate the therapeutic and psychoactive effects like THC and CBD. That’s how you get edibles that are only CBD, only THC, or everything but THC.
Full-spectrum CBD, on the other hand, has a little bit of everything. You get the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids – the whole shebang. THC included.
Full-spectrum products are popular among those who believe in the “entourage effect.” It touts that every element works best together and enhances the effects. If you feel like this is right up your alley, here are the top 5 edibles you can try:
Gummies
Gummies might just be one of the more popular ways to consume full-spectrum CBD. For one thing, it’s a happy middle between “fun snack” like a Haribo gummy bear and “boring supplement” like Nature’s Made multivitamin which reflects its recreational and therapeutic uses.
You can take one full-spectrum CBD gummy before bedtime and enjoy its calming effects. It’s perfect for those who chronically struggle with anxiety and sleep. But you can also use it to unwind after a particularly rough day.
They come in a variety of flavors and are all around a great time.
Granola Bars
If you have a soft spot for baked edibles but are tired of brownies and cake pops – granola bars are a great alternative. It has a different texture – perfect for breaking the monotony of soft, sweet, baked goods.
Honey Sticks
Big on daily routines like having a cup of tea in the morning or a nightcap before bed? Consider CBD honey sticks. You can use them as a sweetener for tea, milk, or juice and indulge during quiet moments in the day.
Honey sticks usually come individually wrapped, so you can stash them in your bag and take them with you on trips. It can be a great way to keep home routines while you’re away.
Lollipops
If brownies and gummies go by too fast, you can slowly savor a full-spectrum CBD lolly instead. So no biting and chewing! Lollipops aren’t meant to be consumed quickly. Suck on one of these 15 to 30 minutes before bed for best results.
Chocolate
The list would not be complete without mentioning chocolate. You could create a whole sub-list of CBD + chocolate products. It’s like matching one guilty pleasure with another. Eating chocolates, chocolate bars, and chocolate fudge are just some examples of what you might find.
A word to the wise, when you pick your chocolate vehicle of choice, remember to exercise restraint. These edibles can be very potent. You can’t binge-eat a whole box in one go.
And there you have it! The top 5 full-spectrum CBD edibles in the market. Which one do you want to try first?
