While plenty of bud connoisseurs are picky about the flower they smoke, the average consumer of cannabis-infused products may have trouble believing that all edibles are in fact not created equal.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re old enough to legally consume cannabis, you may remember a time when it was a mission to find a trendy, boutique cafe with locally roasted beans and non-dairy milk alternatives. Many were content starting their day with a hot cup of gas station coffee, cut with two percent and sugar. No disrespect to good ol\u2019 gas station java, but the point is that we didn\u2019t always consider coffee as something that could be segmented into different tiers of quality, influenced by factors as nuanced as the origin of the beans, the brewing method, or even the size and freshness of the grind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, we find ourselves in a similar place with edibles. With so many options available, understanding how and where the ingredients within your edibles are sourced, can help pinpoint which cannabis edible is right for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, what makes a truly premium edible? Well, as you might expect from the above coffee analogy\u2026 quite a lot of things! Here are a few key tips for selecting the product that\u2019ll give you the most high-quality bang for your buck.<\/p>\n
This might seem like a no-brainer, but you\u2019d be surprised how much undesirable stuff makes its way into your average bargain-priced edible. Artificial sweeteners, mineral oils and other fillers can cause an upset stomach and leave a nasty taste in your mouth. You want to look for an edible that uses real sugar or other natural sweeteners.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s not all about the sweet stuff. One of the biggest no-no\u2019s for THC gummies, in particular, is using gelatin as a thickening agent. A protein derived from animal byproducts (like bones and connective tissue), gelatin is not only off-limits to vegans and vegetarians, but it has a shockingly low melting threshold. The average gelatin gummy gets gooey around 90 degrees Fahrenheit \u2013 no match for the average summer day in Colorado, let alone Arizona or California. Gelatin also tends to produce a tougher, more rubbery texture than you\u2019d find in gummies made without it.<\/p>\n
Cannabis edibles company\u00a0Wana Brands<\/a>\u00a0is setting the standard for quality ingredients. Their 11-years-in-the-making recipe contains only kosher, gluten-free, all-natural ingredients (including organic sweeteners and no high-fructose corn syrup). They also thicken their gummies with fruit-derived pectin, meaning they\u2019re not only completely vegan, but they can stand up to even the hottest weather without losing their satisfying, chewy consistency.<\/p>\n The introduction of lab-testing into the legalized cannabis market has guaranteed consumers a new degree of potency and consistency. But beyond that, recent advances in technology are allowing edibles manufacturers to bring their customers highly customized experiences, including precisely dosed CBD\/THC ratios and a range of distinct effects.<\/p>\n Wana Brands is a great example of a company on the cutting edge of new technology. They\u2019ve harnessed a number of important innovations, but one of the most exciting has allowed them to make new inroads in the realm of both onset and effects. Specifically, their fast-acting Wana Quick Gummies that are powered by a new nano-technology allowing THC to enter the bloodstream without detouring through the liver first. Not only does this result in an onset time of just 5-15 minutes, but it delivers a lighter \u201chead high\u201d that feels more like smoking a joint than the intense, body-focused experience of traditional edibles.<\/p>\n When looking for an edibles brand, do a little homework to find which companies are investing in research and technology. They\u2019re likely to bring you an experience you might never have thought possible.<\/p>\n And speaking of technical innovation, that brings us to our final tip\u2026<\/p>\n Terpenes are the chemical compounds that give all plants \u2013 including cannabis \u2013 their unique smell, taste and biological effects. They play a big part in determining how a particular strain of cannabis might make you feel.<\/p>\n Some people don\u2019t believe it\u2019s possible to include terpenes in your edibles, since they are stripped away when creating THC distillate. But research suggests it\u2019s possible to reintroduce terps at a later stage of the cooking process (we delved deeper into this topic in a\u00a0previous post<\/a>). Wana Brands believes so strongly in the power of terpenes that they\u2019ve partnered with a leading research company to create three proprietary blends based on the terpene profiles of leading cannabis strains.<\/p>\n Why does this matter? Because these blends \u2013 each of which contains more than 30 unique terpenes \u2013allow them to offer their products in class-specific varieties: relaxing indica, energizing sativa and balanced hybrid. In other words, edibles companies that traffic in terpenes can provide their customers with a more nuanced, specific experience than those who don\u2019t\u2026 and the more terps a product contains, the closer it will feel to your favorite variety of flower.<\/p>\n When it comes to what makes a quality infused treat, THC potency is really only the tip of the iceberg. Hopefully, these pointers have armed you with the knowledge you need to find the perfect, premium product you deserve!<\/p>\n The post Choosing the Best Cannabis Edible<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
