A Few Words of Wisdom
Before you go full Martha Stewart on these recipes, remember that edibles take time to kick in—usually between 30 minutes to two hours depending on your metabolism and tolerance level. Start small, be patient, and avoid the rookie mistake of thinking “I don’t feel anything yet” and eating another serving (we’ve all been there).
Also, keep your infused treats clearly labeled and out of reach of children or unsuspecting roommates—because no one wants to explain why their aunt accidentally ate a brownie at family game night and started giggling uncontrollably during Scrabble.
So there you have it: five marijuana-infused desserts that are as delightful as they are relaxing. Whether you’re into classic brownies or trendy coconut bowls, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy responsibly—and deliciously!
