Over the last few years, we’ve seen a huge increase in the number of people using marijuana in their cooking. Roughly ten years ago, changes were made to allow people in certain U.S. states to use marijuana for personal and recreational use. Since then, weed edibles have become extremely popular, and every year we see these getting better and better.

As weed works its way into the cultural zeitgeist, stoners around the country are gaining access to many more ways to experience the good, green herb. No longer must marijuana users smuggle bud home and discreetly smoke from homemade pipes; these days, there are high-end cannabis products available from luxury dispensaries at premium prices. Weed enthusiasts can enjoy tree tourism in places like Portland and Denver, where adult-use grass is widely available, and hotels and restaurants are opening their doors to the doja-inclined.

CBD (cannabidiol) is the main component in cannabinoids that are found in hemp plants and cannabis. It is getting popular in treating many types of physical and mental illnesses. With marijuana legalisation, there is growth in the consumption market of CBD with CBD-infused skincare products to topical, candy, and beer. One of the most favoured techniques of its consumption is CBD edible. Snacks and treats like CBD peanut butter, CBD gummies are made by using CBD oil and are in high demand. They are an easy way to get medication and get their therapeutic benefits. Let us have a look at the top five reasons why you should consume CBD as edibles.

Smoking weed isn't necessarily conducive for your health, but intaking it in other ways is.

We’ve all been there: we take a huge bite out of a brownie or cookie, expecting it to taste like sweet, fudgey heaven. Then we get a huge hit of dirty tasting herb that almost ruins the experience (I only say “almost” as it often makes up for itself in 45-60 minutes). How can you avoid something like that?

With CBD edibles, you’re basically introducing a food solvent such as coconut oil which speeds up absorption and delivers the effects fast.

Everyone knows that cannabis and cannabinoids have started a medical revolution in the past few years, but just how beneficial are CBD-based products for your health?

Is there anything more iconic in pot culture than the beauty of baked goods made with love... and weed?
