Infused Foods
The end of the year means an endless parade of homemade snacks, holiday meals and seasonal flavors. As the Leaf focuses on edibles this month, we wanted to share a slice of selections you might not have tried or even know about yet. Our staff put together a list of products you can find in your local stores, and we hope you find a little something for everyone to enjoy.
Kanha FLY Float Minis
Something bite-sized for the lower-tolerance crowd, these are hard-shell Belgian chocolate with 4 milligrams of THC and 2mg of THCv plus green tea extract. Grab a handful after lunch to keep that creative edge while still enjoying a light buzz. After work, we also like the GROOVE with 2mg of CBC for mood-enhancing effects.
Hamsa Chamoy Watermelon Gummies
For anyone who grew up with Tajin- and chamoy-covered candies, these are an instant hit. Safe for those with common dietary restrictions, these pectin-based edibles are vegan, gluten free and kosher certified. Plus, these contain a nanoemulsion to produce a quick onset.

Tempo Truffle Parmesan Crackers
Get that charcuterie board ready for a serious upgrade this holiday season. Tempo’s collaboration with Punch Extracts has five flavors with 5mg per cracker and 100mg per box. Try the Truffle Parmesan with some Parma ham, the Sour Cream & Onion with some dip or the Chili Limon with some salsa.

Kiva Lost Farms Cherry Lime Fruit Chews
Made with rosin for that more gradual effect, these strain-specific edibles are for fans of that candy with a “burst” of fruit flavors. The Cherry Lime is tart yet sweet for a mouthwatering balance. These are made with the GMO strain and have 10mg per piece.

Emerald Sky GrooveBars
The newest Emerald Sky product contains roasted peanuts, caramel and nougat in a chocolate shell. Don’t laugh, or even snicker, if we rank these above their delicious peanut butter cups. These are 10mg per piece and available as rosin or distillate as well as in hybrid, indica or sativa styles.

Lavinia Kinky Bites
While most gummies sprinkle in a bit of CBN to spice things up, Lavinia goes a step further by adding maca root, horny goat weed and longjack to their 10mg live-resin edibles, intended to help ignite desire. Available in Peach Mango or Watermelon.
Wyld Grapefruit Gummies
A multistate success, Wyld’s soft gummies come in an array of flavors, ratios and effects. Lately, we’re drawn to the Grapefruit. This variety has 10mg each of THC, CBC and CBG to give you more of an uplifting, energetic feeling from your edible experience.
Almora Farms Infused Canna Corn
Finally, a snack you can eat a whole handful of without overdoing it. These crunchy, toasted corn kernels are made without gluten and dairy, and they come in three zesty flavors: Ranch, Salted and Sriracha. There are around 10mg for every 28 kernels, and each bag has 100mg.
Dr. Norm’s Gluten-Free Snickerdoodle
This brand was born out of a famous family cookie recipe, so you know that when they decided to take on a gluten-free option, they had to come correct. At 10mg per cookie, Dr. Norm’s version properly addresses the thick, mealy texture that even many nonmedicated gluten-free cookies are cursed with.
Big Pete’s Cannabutter
When you’re ready to make your own edible moments around the house, you’ll want this product handy. This 4-ounce jar contains 1,000mg of THC (10mg for every 1/4 teaspoon). Add this butter to your morning coffee, those freshly baked cinnamon rolls or even a perfectly grilled steak for some canna Ruth’s Chris Steak House action.

Zen Sugar Free Chocolate Bar
Here’s something for people who want an edible but are also watching their sugar intake. Zen’s full-spectrum bar is sweetened with maltitol and a little sucralose. Each bar is 100mg (divided into 10mg squares) and has a nanoemulsion for rapid onset.
Infused Beverages
We tend to classify edibles as anything you can chew, but let’s not forget that the wide world of beverages also counts as part of the edible ecosystem. One of the great things about Cannabis beverages is the range of doses you can find, and people with a higher tolerance can get a 100-milligram dose in as little as a 2-ounce shot. As consumption lounges become more commonplace in California, we expect to continue to see the drink world grow.
Manzanita Naturals Hella High Watermelon
Created as a partnership between Manzanita Naturals and 21st Amendment Brewery, this noncarbonated drink is an explosion of watermelon flavor. Hella High represents not just a coming together of craft beer and Cannabis, but also a celebration of Bay Area culture. These are available in 12-ounce cans with either 100mg or 10mg potencies.

Pabst Labs Not Your Father’s Root Beer
A perfect dessert drink, NYF started as an alcoholic beverage. Now, stoners can also enjoy a fancy root beer float, thanks to this 100mg medicated version made with live resin. You can also switch it up and go for the Cherry Cola version.
Keef Energy Xtreme High Octane
Keef’s Xtreme line gives its 100mg Cannabis-infused sodas a 100mg bump of caffeine (about as much as a cup of coffee). High Octane’s flavor blends citrus fruits like lemon and lime, and these beverages are made with a rotating variety of hybrid strains.
Kikoko Positivi-tea
A nice warm cup of tea can be enjoyed day or night, and that’s where this mint green tea comes in. Lemon myrtle, liquorice root, peppermint, spearmint, lemongrass and green tea make for an uplifting and relaxing blend that’s only 10mg per cup. If you want to add a little extra to your tea, check out the brand’s 10mg manuka honey shot.
Reefresh Strawberry Lemonade
Part of Lehua Brands’ Reefresh line, this 10mg drink is noncarbonated, gluten free, organic and crafted with low sugar in mind. It was also a gold medal recipient at the 2024 California State Fair Cannabis Awards. Like the other flavors in the brand’s tea/lemonade line, this is sweet and delicious, and it mixes well with seltzer.

Uncle Arnie’s Sunrise Orange Power Shot
Uncle Arnie represents that stoner uncle in all of us, the kind that’s unafraid of slamming a THC-and-caffeine energy shot because it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. Arnie’s has become a stalwart part of the beverage community. Famous for its teas, we prefer a 2-ounce shot with caffeine and 100mg of THC.
