TALKING POINT

The cannabis food trend will get you high and appease your munchies – two birds, one stoner

While it may be unsettling to think that the meal you are eating could have you entering a plea bargain by the end of the night, the curiosity about cannabis as edibles is everywhere. With the plant becoming legal in many states in the US and (pretty much all of) Canada, the demand is skyrocketing.

Venture capitalists and investors are rolling out cash to any company that shows that they have the ability to tap into this vast market. Edibles are available in all forms – from beers, mocktails, butter, chocolates, oils and mints to flavoured sodas, cupcakes and delicious snacking treats. Cannabis dispensaries have thought of it all to ensure that there is something for everyone.
