If you’re an avid baker of the cannabis variety, then no doubt you have made many delicious treats using a variety of weed strains with flavors that both compliment confectioneries and maintain potency once baked.
Of course, any strain with sweet or candy-like accents in their flavor profile would quite naturally lend themselves to blend well with sugary delights. Popular strains for baking include Gorilla Glue, the aptly named Girl Scout Cookies, and of course, the hybrid adorably christened Glookies weed. The latter combines both the chocolatey taste of Gorilla Glue and the mint cookie flavor of Girl Scout Cookies.
But if baking isn’t your forte and you are looking for ready-made Mary Jane infused goods, you have come to the right place! Here are the top 5 edible brands to shop for right now!

4. 1906
Named after the year in which the Wiley Act was instated, which saw the start of cannabis prohibition, 1906 is on a mission to bring the magical leaf back into the mainstream market with a bang. What sets 1906 apart is their thoughtful engineering in combining carefully dosed and selected cannabis strains with targeted plant medicines to create highly functional formulations. They strike a perfect balance between great medicinal benefits and recreational effects.
Intriguingly, 1906 are also pioneers for fast-acting technology in their products. Traditionally, many edibles can take over an hour before effects start to kick in, which can lead to overdosing due to people consuming more edibles in the meantime. 1906 have developed a solution to this problem using a patented lipid microencapsulation process. As a result, effects from their edibles can take hold within 20 minutes or less from consumption leading to a more consistent and predictable experience.
Employing top chocolatiers and using high-quality sourced natural ingredients, products from 1906 are difficult to fault. The weed itself is masked by the chocolate and cannot be tasted.
Perhaps their most famous product is the Peanut Butter Cups, think a sophisticated adult version of Reese’s. The three plant and cannabis blend create a euphoria that promotes a bubbly sense of happiness and well-being.
Another unique product is the Love Dark Milk Chocolate pieces which are fast-action aphrodisiacs for... sexy action – which may or may not be fast. A Cosmopolitan review pretty much said it all: “This was next-level, howling at the moon-type magic…”
Highly recommended: Bliss Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Love Dark Milk Chocolate
