Cannabis culture has grown in leaps and bounds. It’s become a lifestyle choice no longer relegated to college dropouts and “stoners.”
Now that the drug is legalized in 24 states in the U.S. for recreational use, cannabis connoisseurs are regarded as an educated set, enlightening their fellow smokers on the difference between strains, potency and THC content.
Thanks to the expansion of wide-ranging products, the cannabis market is expected to reach $42.98 billion in revenue by the end of the year.
According to Statista, consumers are becoming savants, opting for quality, higher-grade products to suit their tastes, including edibles, concentrates and traditional flower products.
Seeing as the festive season is around the corner, you’re probably confused as to what to gift that one friend who prefers a toke along with their evening drink. Fret not; we’ve got you covered with five must-have gifts for cannabis aficionados.
#1. Artisanal Weed Gummies
Previously, small-batch treats were associated with baked goods and sweets. Since they’ve become mainstream, even big brands and celebrity chefs are jumping on the artisanal trend.
Enter the artisanal edible. Tasty, packed with natural fruit flavors and infused with full-spectrum cannabis extract, haute couture gummies are the unsung heroes of the edibles market.
If your pal has a taste for the finer things, they’ll appreciate the relaxing effects presented in THC edibles. Topping the list of best weed gummies are some quality brands that take pride in providing users with a pleasant experience.
Often associated with pain relief, relaxation and anxiety relief, some THC gummies give an extra punch with their primary psychoactive compound – Delta-9 THC – making them the most potent THC edibles.
Many small-batch THC gummy companies concentrate on organic, sustainable ingredients and sources. For instance, they’ll only use cannabis and hemp grown in the U.S. or cater to vegan or gluten-free customers.
Ensure the product is tested by a third-party laboratory and the results are shown on the company’s website or product label. Also, check out online reviews and the brand’s loyalty standing on social media.
MJBizDaily says high ratings and users’ positive comments are always signs of excellent recommendations for weed gummies and their potent effects.
