If you decide to pop a little something into an adult Easter gift, the first choice would be gummies. BDSA’s data reveals 49% of cannabis consumers have used a gummy. They are tasty, dosed in a manageable way and discreet. Next would be chocolate edibles, easy to use and dispensary bought have convenient dosing.  Chefs have jumped into the game and, for some, the taste is something you would purchase at a high end chocolatier.
