ADVENTURES IN EDIBLES

While most people associate marijuana with smoking, with the rise of 
medical marijuana culture in recent years, marijuana-infused 
products, more commonly referred to as edibles, now come in more 
forms than you could count, from hot sauces to gummy bears. Some 
patients choose these products to avoid exposure to smoke, some 
because edibles can be a more discreet way to medicate. Then again, 
some people just prefer the effects via ingesting.

If you haven't checked into it, you might be surprised by the sheer 
volume and variety of options. We picked some of the most intriguing 
edibles from local dispensaries.
