Best Edibles in Denver 2023

Edibles are a popular mode of consumption for a number of reasons – they’re discreet, easy to dose, and fun to consume.

Edibles are growing in popularity, accounting for 12% of national market share in 2022, according to data from Headset. In Colorado, the first legal cannabis market in the US, they’re even more popular at nearly 15% of sales in the state.

While edible cannabis used to be synonymous with weed brownie, times are changing. Last year, brownies made up just 1% of national edible sales, while gummy bears dominated the market, accounting for nearly 75% of national sales.

Another development we’ve seen is the shift from products made with distillate, a pure THC cannabis extract, to products made with high-quality, full-spectrum extracts such as solvent-free hash (live rosin) and hydrocarbon extracts (live resin ) were manufactured.

Having matured with the market, consumers are now looking for weed treats that will leave them feeling happy, healed and relieved, not just an earth-shattering high. To photograph this phase in the wildfire evolution of weed gummies and beyond, we took a look at the best edibles in the state where it all began, Colorado.

How I found the best edibles in Denver

When choosing the brands and products to include in this list, we considered the following:

• Personal experience: I’ve been writing about cannabis for almost a decade, so I’m very familiar with what’s going on in the edible world.
• Expert Interviews: There is a lot of overlap in the edible products available in the California and Colorado markets. Depending on where you live, you may already be familiar with most of these brands and products. However, to ensure this portrait of the Denver market is as accurate and up-to-date as possible, I interviewed a number of industry experts, budtenders, dispensary owners, journalists, etc.
• Quality: Quality is obviously an important factor in quantifying a term like “best” — particularly in the edibles realm, where you have products ranging from solvent-free granola bars with rosin to distilled syrup made from goo. I’ve considered the ingredients in each edible, who the brand works with to make it, where the flowers or extracts come from, and more.
• Brand Reputation: In my opinion, great brands don’t make bad products, so I’ve only included brands with solid reputations, loved by consumers and respected by industry insiders who really have this tea.

With those protocols in mind, here are the best edibles in Denver by category.

Overall the best edibles in Denver

dialed in

Dialed In was at the top of every expert’s list when it came to the best brands. Specializing in fruit and vegetable gummies and its own Liquid Gummies syrup product, Dialed In produces small batches in partnership with strain-specific, solvent-free rosin from some of Colorado’s finest growers.

WYLD

Wyld is a statewide rubber phenomenon that has dominated most legal markets – including Colorado. While the original line of THC and ratio gummies is great, Good Tide, a new solvent-free brand under the Wyld umbrella, is even better. But more on that later.

Coda Signature has always been around, and with good reason. His line of truffles and chocolate bars is festive, gourmet, and utterly delicious. For Denverites who want to let off steam without breaking the bank, Coda has you covered.

The best high THC edibles in Denver

Dialed in liquid jelly beans

Liquid Gummies are a popular line of live rosin-infused simple syrups from our expert-favorite brand, Dialed In. These 100 milligram vegan syrups are made with fruits, vegetables and high-quality, single-origin live rosin from Colorado’s finest growers.

Available in a range of classic flavors like Donny Burger and Sour Diesel, as well as hype flavors like Kush Mints and Bananagrams, they can be added to any beverage or dessert, or you can stay true to the name and sip your gummies straight from the bottle.

Good tide hash rosin gummies

Good Tide is a new gummy brand from Wyld specializing in tropical flavored hash rosin infused with effects based terpenes. These 10-milligram gummies come in three flavors: pineapple (sativa), guava (hybrid), and mango (indica). The combination of full-spectrum rosin and real fruit ingredients offers a tropical flavor with radiant highs that don’t disappoint.

Keep 100 milligrams of sodas

Keef is a true OG in the cannabis beverage space and a great way to get super high super fast. Its line of 100-milligram sodas infuses classic flavors like Original Cola Coke, Orange Kush, and Bubba Kush Root Beer, all three of which may or may not give the best (read: strongest) ice cream boost of your life.

Best High CBD Edibles in Denver

If you’re not quite ready for a psychoactive journey but still want to switch gears, check out 1906’s Chill Drops for Relaxation. 1906 is a high-concept, effects-based brand with a range of innovative “drops” that use a blend of cannabinoids and medicinal plants to deliver various effects.

Each Chill Drop contains 25 milligrams of CBD and 5 milligrams of THC with the plant-derived amino acid L-Theanine and Magnolia Flower, used in Chinese medicine to relieve anxiety.

WYLD Pear 1:1 CBG fruit gums

These 1:1 THC:CBG gummies from Wyld are some of the best feeling edibles I’ve ever experienced and are available in most legal markets. CBG (or cannabigerol) is known as “the mother of all cannabinoids,” meaning all cannabinoids start with CBG. Like THC, it binds to both the CB1 and CB2 receptors, meaning it may help regulate the nervous system in addition to its anti-inflammatory and relaxant effects.

Each gummy contains 10 milligrams of CBG and 10 milligrams of THC, a combination that can leave you with a warm, tingly feeling that may have you unable to stop smiling, no matter how hard you try.

710 Labs Hash Rosin Gummy Bears

710 Labs is one of the top hash brands in the world and their gummies don’t disappoint. Full Disclosure: These are not for the faint of heart. While each gummi contains only THC, the effects feel much stronger—in the best way possible.

In true 710 Labs form, these limited edition gummies are available for a pretty penny. But as with all things, and especially weed, you get what you pay for.
