Say goodbye to the typical sugar-packed candy this Halloween. Celebrating October’s signature holiday as an adult just got so much better thanks to tasty cannabis edibles. Rich in cannabidiol (CBD) and low-dose tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), there are many alternative options for the health conscious this All Hallow’s Eve.
I've rounded up my top five favorite cannabis treats to enhance fall’s most festive holiday. Keep in mind that these products contain cannabis-derived CBD and THC, so they are only available in states where medicinal and recreational use is legal. Read on to discover the ultimate green guide for this year's celebrations.
