Hot holiday foods are warming up the US winter 2021 season
Being full is a rite of passage during the holiday season. Be it tender pieces of turkey, loads of fillings or freshly baked cakes worth an oven, the selection of delicious treats that vie for our limited stomach space at this time of year can be downright overwhelming. That goes double for those of us who love to eat our cannabis, but it seems our challenges will persist thanks to a bevy of remarkable new edibles currently available in dozens of legal and medicinal states.
From fast-acting gummy candies to heavenly fudge twists to a tincture of a staggering 1,000 mg of THC per bottle, top edible manufacturers in California, Oregon, Illinois and elsewhere have risen to the challenge of keeping us happy during the vacation. To celebrate, let’s loosen our belts and pour on the gravy with the following curated list of bestselling edibles to brighten up your winter festivities.

Washington Edibles
Pink Lemonade Pioneer Squares (Craft Elixirs)
Available in a veritable rainbow of flavors, Pioneer Squares from Washington’s Craft Elixirs are the chewy, fruity candies that cannabis dreams are made of.

Colorado infused cannabis
Strawberry margarita 1: 1 fast-acting gummies (Wana brands)
Tired of waiting for your edible to hit? Wana Brands offers Colorado consumers a great way to get all of the effects they want quickly thanks to their line of fast acting gums. Wana’s emulsion technology delivers the THC in their gums directly into the bloodstream. The result is a cannabis high derived from delta-9-THC as opposed to the sleepier 11-hydroxy-THC of an edible. Try Wanas 1: 1 Strawberry Margarita Gummies (5 mg CBD, 5 mg THC each) for a mind-boggling mix of sweet and salty.

This award was given to the company’s Prickly Pear Lemonade OG Kush Stoney Gummies, which contain a trio of active ingredients in the form of THC, CBD and Delta-8 for a total of 10 mg of cannabinoids each.

Ripple is available in several formulas (Pure, Balance and Relief) and in a trio of formats (gummies, quick sticks and powder packs) and can be added to tea, smoothies or directly on the tongue. With the ability to consume discreetly while avoiding sugar, it is understandable that Stillwaters Ripple should make waves.
