10. THC Coffee Beans by Somatik
A common complaint about edibles is how sedative they tend to be. While not all products leave the consumer feeling sleepy, there’s a shred of truth to such a statement. Which is probably why the folks over at Somatik decided to come out with a product that promised that the consumer would be feeling nothing but alert and active after eating.
These THC Coffee Beans are pretty cool to look at, too. Each one is speckled with a little bit of gold, making them look like tiny dinosaur eggs. And their powerful coffee aromatics come through in a major way.
While some would anticipate a harsh, bitter taste to these edibles – they’d be happy to hear that they’re actually quite sweet. That’s probably due to the delicious chocolate coating covering each of these beans.
As one would readily assume, these coffee beans do nothing but energize and uplift the consumer. These are absolutely tailor-made to be enjoyed in the morning hours of the day. It sets up the consumer to be productive and positive, without any sort of sedation whatsoever.

9. Blackberry Lemon Gummies by PLUS
If you’re like me, the second you saw the pairing of Blackberry and Lemon, you probably cringed a little bit. I get it – I had the same reaction. But once I experienced the luscious greatness of these amazing gummies, I was instantly hooked. And I’m confident the average stoner would be, too.
PLUS is quickly becoming a household name when it comes to edibles – specifically gummies. Their unique circular tins can be found at basically ever dispensary in the Bay Area, and their products are typically amongst the best on the market. And this batch of delectable Blackberry Lemon Gummies are no exception.
The tiny sugar-coated squares of gummy greatness are a treat for the eyes, and the intoxicating taste of these unique flavors combined with one another is unlike any other pairing on the market. Not only do they taste remarkable, but the mellow sedation that takes over the consumer’s once-tense body and mind is truly beneficial.

8. Orange Gumdrops by 831 Extracts
When I see (or hear) the word “gumdrop” I’m expecting a tear-drop type of candy. However, when I dumped out the contents of this container from 831 Extracts, I was a bit surprised to see a collection of citrus colored squares – each cut in a very uniform fashion.
Most gummies of this consistency are physically unable to emit any sort of odor out into the world. But these Orange Gumdrops smell exactly like their vitamin C inspiration. And the power behind these scents are no joke – their orange essence has the ability to fill up an entire room with its enjoyable aromatics.
All of those pleasurable moments from the scent profile make their way over to the flavor of these amazing edibles from 831 Extracts. Orange, orange, orange – that’s all the taste buds get upon every satisfying bite. It’s amazing! And the warm, comforting relief that coincides with these treats is super serene, and leaves the consumer feeling cool, calm, and collected.

7. Chocolate Animal Crackers by Green Privilege
We all grew up loving animal crackers – that’s just a fact. But what if I told you a company took these beloved treats from our childhood to the next-level by covering them in mouth-watering chocolate? Pretty great, right? Well, what if I told you that they also infused a butt-load of THC into their recipe, as well?
That’s exactly what the folks at Green Privilege did with this batch of truly sensational Chocolate Animal Crackers infused with 100mg of THC. Of course that dosage is spread out throughout each cookie, but that still means that every bite is packing a seriously flavorful punch of potency. And isn’t that what we all look for in edibles? I know I certainly do!
These aren’t the fastest-acting treats on the market, but about 30 minutes after finishing off a few crackers their effects start to kick in. Around that time, the consumer will start to experience a wave of mellow comfort take over in the most enjoyable way imaginable. And what’s really great is these effects hang around for quite a long time, too. It truly is one heck of an edible!

6. Strawberry Shortcake Marshmallow by Mellows
This is, most likely, the tastiest treat on this entire list. Which is probably going to have you asking, “Well, why isn’t it ranked higher – if it’s so tasty?” That’s a solid question, but the answer is fairly simple – it’s just not as potent as its counterparts. At least, not in the single dose form anyway.
But that said, there are larger bags of different flavored marshmallows from this company for those with higher-than-average tolerances to enjoy – and I’d strongly suggest going for the larger quantity with this one – because the single dose items are only packing 5mg of THC.
However, despite their lapse in strength, the level of deliciousness and savory sweetness that these tiny treats are able to deliver is out of this world. I’ve never had such a delectable cannabis-infused treat in my entire stoner career. And I’d strongly urge my fellow enthusiasts to pick up this edible – for the taste alone! They really are that damn good!

5. Peanut Butter Spread by Mystery Baking Company
I love the flavor of Peanut Butter, and I don’t think I’m alone in saying that. And whenever I see a cannabis club offering up a PB treat full of THC, I don’t even hesitate to pick it up. So, when I saw that Fresh Mint sells an actual marijuana form of legitimate Peanut Butter Spread, I nearly fainted from excitement.
Everything one would want from a smooth jar of Peanut Butter is more than present in both the scent and taste of this cannabis concoction of nutty perfection. There’s zero bitterness to be found in this incredible edible, either. It truly is flawless, in my personal opinion.
The mentally-focused effects of this edible are very manageable, and allows the consumer to remain just as functional as they normally would be throughout the course of the day. There’s no sedation here, just tranquility and blissful peace of mind.

4. Mint Chocolate Bar by Défoncé Chocolatier
While many would think creating a cannabis chocolate bar would be easy – they’d be wrong. More often than not, companies fail to nail the true sweetness of a chocolate bar. The cannabis bitterness of the THC components used in the recipe are usually too strong to overcome. But this Mint Chocolate Bar by Défoncé Chocolatier was able to achieve that goal with the most delicious ease.
Each bite of this elegantly designed bar is phenomenal. There’s nothing but rich mint and sweet chocolate to be enjoyed. And the absence of bitterness is always going to result in a positive experience when it comes to THC-infused chocolates.
This bar will calm down even the most frantic of minds. It’ll have the consumer feeling mentally (and physically) relaxed in ways they would’ve otherwise never experienced. There’s no sleep-inducing effects with this edible, either – just serenity.

3. Blueberry Sour Belts by WOW
I’ve seen my fair share of cannabis candies over the years, but I’ve never come across this nostalgic form of confection before. But, boy, am I happy we crossed paths because this proved to be one of the tastiest (and most powerful) edibles that I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
When one grabs a bigger bag of edibles, the entire contents usually top out at around 100mg or so. But this tiny pouch of Blueberry Sour Belts clocked in at an impressive 300mg! Yeah, you read that right – 300mg! To say these babies pack a strong sedative punch would be a massive understatement.
What’s even better is they look, smell, and taste like the real thing. Memories of corner stores and candy shops will come to mind upon the very first bite of this amazing edible from WOW. Considering these are super potent, I’d suggest enjoying these during times where there’s nothing else to do but sit back and relax.

2. Petra Mints by Kiva
This is the best way to microdose throughout the day – hands down. That’s really all that needs to be said about these amazing edibles from Kiva. Yes, Kiva is known for their fantastic chocolate bars – but these Petra Mints are their best selling product – and it’s easy to see why – they’re friggin’ phenomenal.
Available in a variety of flavors, each version of these mints is just as tasty (and effective) as its counterpart. There’s no wrong answers when trying to pick which scrumptious batch to go with. Even the design of these tiny mints is amazing. The speckled aesthetic present on each one is equal parts memorable and eye-catching.
There’s only 2.5mg of THC in each mint. So tossing in a handful at a time is a delicious way to maintain your focus and mellow-out your demeanor throughout the day. There’s never any sedation to worry about, either. These are some of the most effective edibles on the market, and I always pick up a box whenever I’m at the dispensary. They’ve become a part of my daily routine, and I know they’ll become a part of yours too after only one try. I guarantee it.

1. Berry Crunch Treat by Heavenly Sweet
Heavenly Sweet decided to go above and beyond with their line of edibles. Each of their products is sincerely massive – especially when compared to the tinier digestible products it routinely sits beside on cannabis club shelves all across the Bay Area. This Berry Crunch Treat is probably the most striking edible of them all.
Almost brick-like in size and consistency, this Cap’n Crunch treat infused with THC is the most fetching product I have seen in quite some time. While a shoebox sized treat of this nature would be good enough, they went ahead and threw a little drizzle of frosting on top just to kick it up a notch.
Every single bite of this cereal-inspired edible is undeniably delicious. The sweet sugary cereal delivers its cannabis contents to the consumer in the most satisfying way possible. And the strong sedation that follows soon thereafter will have the consumer melting into their couch in no time. This is a perfect snack to enjoy after a long day or during a calm binge-watching session. It’s easily the most enjoyable, most delicious edible available in the Bay Area – no doubt about it.
