The Best Cannabis Edibles of 2022
There are lots of reasons to choose edibles as your preferred form factor when getting high. They’re discreet with no inhalation necessary, precision dosed, and can lead to long-lasting mellow highs.
As always, there are a multitude of factors that make the edibles on this list great: consistency in cannabinoid content, accurate dosing (with a reliable THC:CBD ratio), freshness, flavor, onset, duration, and labeling/packaging.
If you’re looking for the best-in-class weed gummies, chocolates, and other munchies on the market to properly dial in your next infused afternoon, you’ve come to the right place.
Kiva Lost Farm Raspberry Gummies
Dose: 10mg THC per gummy (10 gummies per pack)
Availability: California, Nevada, and Arizona
Lost Farm is the latest line of highly potent edibles from the world-class candymakers at Kiva Confections. While the whole lineup (strawberry lemonade, peach, pineapple, passionfruit) is worth a tasting flight, the raspberry iteration comes with a pleasant punch of fruit flavor and aromatics. Made with classic sativa Blue Dream, the strain’s native sugary berry terpenes accentuate the gummy’s sweet and sour taste. The “Lost Farm” philos is to take a mythical quest for an seemingly unattainable-but-amazing experience.
Wyld Marionberry Indica Gummy
Dose: 10mg THC per gummy
Availability: California
The Marionberry gummies from Wyld are so consistently good they might just make this list every year. They are made with real fruit and an Indica enhanced botanical terpene blend, which explains why I always find myself reaching for them at the end of a long day. They always help me unwind and turn a good night into a great night.
Big Pete’s Insane Churro Mini Cookies
Dose: 10mg THC per cookie (10 cookies per bag)
Availability: California
Is there a more delicious ballgame/theme park impulse buy than a fresh, buttery, sugary churro? Big Pete’s Insane take on the classic Mexican dessert, made with Indica cannabutter, brown sugar and cinnamon, was designed for hip hop legend and cannabis evangelist B Real. If they’re hitting the sweet spot with Dr. Greenthumb himself, that’s all the seal of approval you need.
Dose: 5mg THC and 3mg CBD per gummy (20 gummies per pack)
Availability: California
Potent and portable, Highway’s trailblazing gummies are ideal for adventurous types looking to elevate a hot springs campout, beachside sunset, or hidden hiking path. Available at the Highway flagship dispensary in LA’s Marina Del Rey neighborhood as well as their sister Kindpeoples shops in Santa Cruz, the gummies are produced with occasion-based formulations. They range from highly active Day Tripper sativa gummies—which perfectly nail the wild cherry flavor—to nicely sedated blue raspberry Star Gazer indica gummies containing the cannabinoid CBN as a sleep aid.
Cann Blood Orange Cardamom Social Tonic
Dose: 2mg THC and 4mg CBD per 7.5oz can
Availability: California, Nevada, and Rhode Island
Found in their distinctively Venice-cool pastel packaging, Cann has been a go-to fizzy drink throughout quarantine this year as they really nail the low-dose, social buzz cannabis beverage. The sessionable dosing lends itself really well to newcomers as the “strength” of one serving is comparable to that of a light beer or a glass of wine. If you’re interested in a San Pellegrino that can take the edge off, you’ve found it with Cann’s blood orange flavor.
With seamless alcohol alternatives like this on the market, it’s easy to see why cannabis beverages are expected to rake in an estimated $1.8 billion this year.
Tsumo Salsa Verde Chips
Dose: 10mg THC per bag
Availability: California
Tsumo’s line of salty, savory snacks has combined two of life’s great pleasures of getting high and feasting on Doritos/Cheetos into one glorious bag. The familiar flavors are all here: Classic Cheese Puffs, Fiery Hot Cheese Crunchers, Zesty Ranch, Hint of Lime, and Salsa Verde.
The zip on the Salsa Verde Tsumo chips in particular is nearly indistinguishable from it’s Frito-Lay counterpart (source: stoner food writer who’s eaten from an unconscionable number of office vending machines). The one-ounce bags are filling enough to both jumpstart and satisfy a munchies craving.
Kanha Nano Cran-Pomegranate Punch Gummies
Dose: 5mg per gummy (20 gummies per pack)
Availability: California
Los Angeles-based Kanha holds their own in the pantheon of infused sweets with their cran-pomegranate punch gummies, energizing edibles that are sweet and gumdrop-ish in texture. This line utilizes a patented nanomolecular technology, which I can only assume involves the transmitter that shrinks Mike Teavee in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The payoff of having a “nano” gummie is that it has a quicker onset of effects than your average edible of the same dosage, so instead of having to wait 30-40 minutes to begin feeling blissed out, Kanha approximately cuts that time in half. Pop one and in no time you’ll be relaxing more than that “bed-ridden” grifter Grandpa Joe.
Lagunitas Hi-Fi Hops Tuner
Dose: 5mg THC and 5mg CBD per 12oz bottle
Availability: California, Colorado
The brainchild of Lagunitas brewmaster Jeremy Marshall and Absolute Xtracts budmaster Patrick Anderson, Hi-Fi is a citrusy sparkling water that, while sporting a hoppy taste, is non-alcoholic and instead draws its buzz from an infusion of sun-grown cannabis oil. It’s no surprise coming from the circus freaks over at Lagunitas who’ve spent decades cultivating a 420-friendly brand, from their collaborations with The Waldos to having endured a sting operation that shut down their Petaluma brewery over a single joint back in 2005. The Tuner varietal, with an even balance of THC and CBD, provides a clear, relaxed hangover-free headspace primed for your next high happy hour.
