10 Unique Cannabis Edibles and Recipes

For far too long, cannabis users have limited themselves to space cakes and brownies. But there’s a whole wide world of creative and unique marijuana dishes out there for you to explore! From cotton candy and popcorn to sushi and beer, continue reading to discover some unusual, but undeniably delicious, cannabis edibles.

Getting to Grips With Cannabis Edibles

Cannabis edibles offer an alternative to smoking or vaping marijuana. Instead of delivering THC and other compounds through the lungs, the active constituents of edibles are instead absorbed through the digestive tract. This route of administration causes THC to convert to 11-hydroxy-THC in the liver—a much more potent molecule. Overall, edibles are known for their long-lasting and far more intense psychoactive effects. 

For decades, cannabis users had limited options when it came to chowing down on weed-infused foods—think your classic weed brownies. In the contemporary era, however, seemingly endless innovation within the cannabis space has vastly increased the diversity of edible products.

10 Unique Cannabis Edibles or Recipes You Need to Try

Prepare to broaden your horizons and sink your teeth into 10 of the tastiest and most unique edibles!

1. Cannabis Crisps

Crunch your way to a state of euphoria and bliss with cannabis crisps! This savoury option provides a nice alternative to the many sweet edibles out there. While still quite new to the world of weed, cannabis crisps are likely to skyrocket in popularity in the coming years. Right now, several businesses are currently selling packets of marijuana crisps, including Franklin’s, based in Kansas City, USA. Their product Guy’s Potato Chips includes 10 crisps, each containing an accurate dose of 2 mg of THC. If you’re looking for something savoury and salty, you have to give these unique edibles a go!

2. Cannabis Beer

Although technically a beverage, cannabis beer still counts as an edible, in that it's a form of orally administered cannabis. While mixing alcohol and cannabis has a bad reputation, finding the perfect balance between these two substances can trigger an enjoyable social buzz that's perfect for parties. There are a range of cannabis beers available, including non-alcoholic versions. Likewise, using your own weed flowers, some hops and barley, a fermentation bucket, and a few other pieces of kit, you can easily make cannabis beer at home. It takes less than two weeks to produce a batch of this stuff in the comfort of your own kitchen!

3. CBD Popcorn

Not all cannabis edibles are bursting with THC. With this CBD popcorn, you can rest easy knowing that you can munch away without becoming incapacitated. This unique edible pairs the most popular movie snack with a cannabinoid that will leave you feeling clear-headed and focused. You’ll enjoy the taste of traditional popcorn, all while feeling much more engaged with the film playing in front of you! Some companies have already started selling small batches of weed popcorn. However, you can easily whip up your own at home, choosing between sweet and savoury flavours! 

4. Bhang

Cannabis edibles are by no means a modern phenomenon, and bhang serves as some solid proof. This age-old cannabinoid-infused beverage dates back to around 1000 BCE in modern-day India. Made from cannabis flowers, milk, spices such as garam masala and cardamom, and nuts, bhang has been used in both Ayurvedic medicine and Hindu religious festivals for generations. If you’re after a taste of history and a hard-hitting high, simply grab some weed flowers, milk, and spices of your choice, and make a batch of bhang at home. Just remember to take things slow with this potent preparation to prevent a potentially overwhelming experience!

5. CBD Cotton Candy

With its impressive rise in popularity, many different means of taking CBD are now available—including eating CBD cotton candy! Typically available as pre-dosed products, you can also make this delicious treat at home. Simply add a high-CBD tincture to your sugar before turning on your machine and starting the spinning process! After eating several mouthfuls of this sugary snack, you can expect a physically relaxing and clear-headed effect to take hold! Bring yourself back to your childhood with some extra help from CBD.

6. Cannabis Fondue

Originating in the Swiss and French Alps, fondue served as a way for farming families to use up their precious resources in the winter. Fondue essentially involves dipping a range of food items, including bread and vegetables, into a pot of melted cheese. Under normal circumstances, most people find this dish irresistibly delicious. However, throw some cannabis oil into the mix, and you’ll add a psychoactive touch to this absolute classic. Whether you go with Gruyère, gouda, or Swiss, you'll have a hard time putting down your fork, so proceed with caution!

7. Cannabis Breakfast Cereal

While some people skip breakfast on a daily basis, others simply can’t function without this morning meal. If you typically like to start the day with a wake and bake alongside slices of toast and a cup of coffee, then we’re pretty sure you’ll enjoy cannabis-infused breakfast cereal, too! You have several options here. Either grab yourself a bag of infused Lucky Charmz from a dispensary near you or whip up a batch of cannabis milk at home to add THC to any cereal of your choice. Simply grind up your weed, wrap it in a cheesecloth, and place it all into a pot of full-fat milk. Keep the mixture bubbling over low heat for an hour, and you’re done! 

8. Cannabis Sushi

Nourishing, tasty, and fun to eat with chopsticks, sushi ranks high on the list of many people’s favourite dishes. If you’re a fan of this Japanese cuisine and also like partaking in the herb, then cannabis sushi could quickly become your go-to edible. When it comes to putting together some marijuana-infused sushi rolls, you need to start things off by making some cannabis olive oil. From here, follow our recipe for cannabis mayonnaise, which you can use alongside fillings of your choice in nori and rice rolls.

9. Cannabis Chewing Gum

While not strictly an edible in the truest sense, cannabis chewing gum still delivers cannabinoids into the bloodstream by way of absorption through the mouth and the digestive tract. This simple yet ingenious product offers one of the most discreet and easiest ways to consume cannabis at home, at work, or while on the go. Though still a novelty, you can expect to see many different cannabis chewing gum products hit the shelves in the years to come! Enjoy an elevated state of mind with practically no calories. 

10. Cannabis Hot Sauce

Cannabis hot sauce adds a spicy and psychoactive hit to a wide range of delicious dishes. Light both your taste buds and neurons ablaze by roasting 500 g of your favourite chillies, five large tomatoes, and one whole garlic head at 200°C for 30 minutes. Once cool, throw everything into a blender along with ½ cup water, ½ cup cider vinegar, and 2 tbsp of cane sugar. Blend everything together until smooth. When you’re ready to blast off, simply mix ¼ cup of hot sauce with 60 g of homemade cannabutter over medium heat. Mix it well before pouring it over the dish of your choice!

DisclaimerWhen consumed, THC metabolizes into 11-hydroxy-THC, which enters the body through the stomach and liver, resulting in a significantly stronger effect due to its increased affinity for CB1 receptors in the brain.

Ensure accurate portion control. Begin with small doses and gradually increase to develop tolerance.

Remember: Set and Setting will help you deal with various situations.

Stay Cultivated.
