    Kush Your Mouth! (With Lemon Kush Cakes)

    The Kush Cakes were moist, fresh, and delicious -- my tastebuds thought the treats were heaven on earth with a glass of milk. But of course, at medible prices, the taste had better be just Act One.

    Ganja Grahams: Now, That's Comfort Food

    ​Graham crackers remind me of being a kid. A couple of grahams and a cold glass of milk can be calming and centering, and that's without any marijuana added.

    Therapeutic Decadence: Chocolate-Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookie

    ​I don't mind conceding the point that dipping a chocolate chip cookie in chocolate is an act of decadence. Taking a fine-as-it-is, complete-in-itself treat and then doubling down with another layer of sticky sweetness couldn't accurately be described as an act of moderation. But then again, every ...

    Cannabis Caramel Corn: Let's Get Stoned and Sticky

    Freshness is, of course, crucial when it comes to a treat like this, and I was delighted to find these kernels crisp and delicious.
