Marijuana Edibles
CategoriesAnalysis/Opinion, Guides by

7 Great Places to Purchase Marijuana Edibles in the U.S.

Currently, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in some form, although only four states—including Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, along with the District of Columbia—allow recreational marijuana use.
If you’re 21 or older and live in an area where marijuana use is legal, then you may be interested in edibles. Edibles are a healthier alternative to smoking, and although it takes longer for the high to hit, their effects last longer. This includes the pain relief quality, which make edibles a preferred choice for medical patients. Recreational users will also reap the same benefits. If you’re interested in trying marijuana edibles, start at one of these places in the U.S. where you can purchase edibles.

Starbuds

Starbuds is a 2015 Hightimes Cannabis Cup Winner in the Best Sativa category and currently has six locations around Colorado with more opening soon. Visit Denver, Aurora, Louisville, or Pueblo to explore their in-stock items. They carry favorites like Cheeba Chews as well as other tasty treats like gummies, chocolate bars, and mints.

Denver Relief

Denver Relief is a dispensary located in the heart of Denver, CO that caters to medical patients and recreational cannabis users. With their wide selection of edibles, you’re sure to find something that will suit your needs, whether you’re seeking a high dosage, low dosage, something sweet, or something discrete. They carry edibles from reputable manufacturers like Mountain Medicine, Cheeba Chews, Incredibles, and Sweet Mary Jane.

Natures Herb and Wellness Center

Natures Herb and Wellness Center currently has three locations across Colorado, including one in Garden City, one in Log Lane Village, and one in Denver. Their facility boasts award-winning strains, and they pride themselves in being a one-stop shop for everything cannabis. Edibles here range from tasty brownies and blondies to sweet taffy and candies. Wash it all down with a drink, whether you’re looking for pain relief or a recreational high.

Skywalker Delights

Skywalker Delights is the perfect place to stop if you’re looking for all natural, organic edibles. With locations in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, California, and Hawaii, there are many opportunities to enjoy Skywalker Delights whether you’re looking for stress relief or pain relief. Their products are fresh baked daily with premium organic ingredients and medical grade cannabis. Products are gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan.

Recipe: Hot Buttery Cannabiscuits

Dough makes 8-12 biscuits, depending on size. Serving size is 1 or 2 biscuits.

INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 GF flour
1 packet quick rise yeast
1 1/2 cups hot water or hot milk (130-160F)
4 tbs cannabis oil, solid, cut into chunks like butter
1 tsp olive oil + more to grease
1 tsp salt
2-3 tbs guar gum
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbs coconut sugar + 1 or 2 tbs coconut sugar

Any herbs like:
basil
parsley
dill
rosemary
garlic
chili powder

parchment
cling film
baking pan
mixing bowl

DIRECTIONS

1. In 1 1/2 cups of hot water or milk, sprinkle 1 tbs sugar and packet of yeast. If it’s activated/live yeast, the mix should begin to bubble and foam a layer over the liquid. Let sit undisturbed for at least 5 minutes, so that the yeast can activate. If nothing happens, you might have a bunk packet– though, sometimes I’ve had luck with microwaving what I thought was dead yeast for a few seconds, and it activated just fine.

2. While the yeast does its thing, mix GF flour with your salt, baking powder, guar gum, sugar, and any herbs or spice you want thrown in in a large mixing bowl. I really like nutritional yeast, garlic, and rosemary, but sometimes I’ll do a sweetbread with nutmeg, cinnamon, and more sugar.

3. Drizzle in olive oil and pour in yeast mixture, once it’s good and foamy. Using a rubber or silicone spatula to mix the dough has always worked out well for me. I’ve never made this recipe in a stand or electric mixer, so go for that if it’s simpler. Incorporate wet with dry until a dough starts to form.

4. Cut in chunks of cannabis oil, continuing to stir and gently press dough into shape. Add flour in small amounts with guar gum if dough is too sticky or won’t hold together (it should, since we’re using active yeast).

5. When you can form the dough into a relatively smooth ball, you’re golden. Rub a small amount of olive oil all over the dough, just enough to lightly coat it, then cover bowl with cling film. Leave dough to rise in a warm place (a super easy way to make one is to turn on your oven to 350– but only for a few seconds! This will create a space warm enough to proof the dough but not hot enough to bake it) for at least an hour.

6. After your dough has risen, take off the cling film and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Grease VERY lightly with olive oil. Set your oven to 350F (and leave it there this time). In whatever shape you want, add rows of dough blobs to the pan, evenly spaced until the pan is filled. The biscuits will rise a little more but not by much; the main idea is, give them enough room to cook.

7. Your oven rack should be set a notch above the middle. Pastries/breads cook best there, without burning either end. Bake biscuits for 25-30 mins, until golden brown. To make sure this is achieved, brush biscuits with melted vegan butter at the 10 and 20 minute mark.
