Best Cannabis Candy of California—But Don’t Call It ‘Candy’

Best Cannabis Candy of California—But Don’t Call It ‘Candy’

Citing similar worries, Colorado legislators—and California regulators—prohibited candy shapes resembling “humans, animals or fruit,” effectively banning THC gummy bears while mandating that warning symbols get stamped on the actual edible. California, still in the early stages of cannabis legalization, hasn’t experienced any pushback yet on sugary weed treats, so get out there and eat those candies—ahem, drops—while you can!

As always, be safe and responsible with your edibles, including locking up cannabis treats to ensure they don’t fall into the wrong hands. Also, make sure you have some non-infused candy on hand this Halloween season, so your sweet tooth doesn’t trick you into overdoing it on edibles.

With hard candies in relatively short supply, Rayne Drops pastilles are a welcome addition to dispensary shelves in the Bay Area. Five milligrams of THC appear in each berry, orange or lemon-flavored drop, packaged in a stylish tin. Gluten-free and vegan, these hard candies discreetly delight, offering a level of sophistication better aligned with a new cannabis dabbler.
