Since its introduction in 1996 in California, patients have been finding unique ways to incorporate medical marijuana into their daily routine. As well as all the legislature, advocation, and vilification of MMJ, there’s also a fun side too; you can mix and match your medicine with a large variety of sweet treats, making it more appetizing, appealing, and fun! MMJ sweets are all the rage with some patients, and it’s easy to see why – once you try some, you’ll be hooked.
To date, 29 states have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, with a 30th and 31st likely to follow this year. A number of liberal states have also begun the arduous process of legalizing recreational marijuana, although this doesn’t look set to detract from medical marijuana programs in the states it’s being introduced in. In the case of California, for example, the government recently introduced a sales tax rebate for MMJ patients, which means they don’t have to pay tax on their medicine. This initiative shows the commitment to MMJ from long-standing proponents, and hopefully other states will follow suit.
If you’re looking for new, unique ways to incorporate MMJ, then check out this handy list of MMJ sweets below. Of course, there are many ways to avail of medical marijuana, and not all of them will suit you; make sure to check with your doctor which form of MMJ works best for your specific condition!
1. Leaf Eater Gummy Leaves
Everyone loves gummies, right? Well, with these incredibly moreish and potent candies, you’ll definitely find your sweet spot. Leaf Eater is a West Coast brand that loves to cram its product with MMJ; a single gummy carries a hit of 80mgs, with just two of the candies providing a satisfying and relieving 160mgs of marijuana.
2. Cheeba Chews
Cheeba Chews have the distinctive pedigree of being one of the first legal distributors of infused edibles in California. They’ve been producing their award-winning MMJ sweets for eight years now, so clearly they’re doing something right! Their individual dosage of 10mgs won’t take your head off, and if you prefer or require a lighter touch to your medicine, this could be the sweet for you.

4. Wana Sour Gums
Wana hails from Colorado, a notoriously MMJ friendly state that was also one of the first in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana, along with Washington.

5. Dixie Mints
Dixie Elixirs produces a wide range of MMJ edibles, and is one of the few companies that offers marijuana-infused mints to their customers. When you think about it, it’s a great idea for an edible; not everyone likes sweet things, or wants to keep sweets around their house. The mints provide a perfect compromise for patients who still want to avail of edibles, but want to do so without the sugar intake. These delicious mints come in a variety of flavors, so you’ll have no trouble finding one you like.
6. RemedyPlus Gummies
RemedyPlus gummies are some of the coolest MMJ edibles on the market. Packaged like old-school sweets you’ll love and remember from your childhood days, their range includes rainbow belts, space worms, and dozens of other retro classics. Doses depend on which type of candy you choose, and can either be pretty light or significant, depending on your preference. Just remember to choose your dose first, not which type of sweet you prefer!
7. Kaneh Co. S’mores Brownie
Kaneh Co. has carved out a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, delicious edibles and MMJ sweets; you could even eat them without the added THC benefit. When you factor in that their tasty offerings are also beneficial to your health, they make for an unbeatable treat. Their brownies are incredibly satisfying; they’re produced without preservatives, too, so you don’t have to worry about any artificial nastiness. If these guys just produced brownies with no additional MMJ ingredients, it’d be totally fine, they’re that delicious!
8. Punch Chocolate Bar
Punch’s chocolate offerings are both delicious and potent. They separate out into little chunks so you can keep track of how much you’re eating.

And unlike some other MMJ chocolate brands, they’re intent on keeping it fresh, coming out with new flavors and conceptions every season.
