Get Cooking

Anything can be an edible with the right attitude, and Sweet Stone olive oil demonstrates that. A 100-gram bottle will set you back nearly $50 but contains 225 mg of THC. A teaspoon is the equivalent of a 10 mg dose. The upside of olive oil THC is that you are no longer held back by the constraints of edibles on offer; now you can mix it in with your morning eggs or evening stir fry. The drawback is, of course, that you have to whip something up with it. (While we understand if you take a teaspoon of straight oil, there are certainly more pleasant ways to get a dose of THC.) But you don’t have to cook anything. You can drizzle it over a salad or blend it in a smoothie.

Medicate With Feco Or Rso

While FECO, or full-extract cannabis oil, is mostly a medical-marijuana offering, it is worth tracking down any that are adult-use. The oil includes all of the cannabinoids and terpenes that you’d find in the flower in the exact same ratio. (RSO stands for Rick Simpson Oil, and like FECO, it is a highly potent cannabis oil.) As such, FECO is sold by the strain like the Blue Dream or Cantaloupe Haze, both by Flora Farms. The liquid is thick and needs to be warmed up before ingesting either in your hands or under warm water. Then you can add it to yogurts, smoothies, peanut butter cups and more, or take it by itself in a small, rice-grain-sized dose. You can also bake it into treats so long as you keep the temperature of your cooking under 225 degrees. Mostly recommended for experienced users because of its potency, this concentrate can make anything into an edible.

Get Old Timey With A Tincture

Tinctures seem to work for some and not for others, but if you want to try something different that sounds vaguely like something from the 1800s, try a tincture. Taken sublingually (that means you hold it under your tongue), it bypasses getting processed by your liver and can get you high in only 15 or 20 minutes. Everyone has a different reaction to cannabis, but tinctures are particularly finicky. Some advice for getting it to work includes holding it under your tongue for a while or simply mixing the tincture into a drink or food (though you won’t get high quickly — it will act more like an edible). A few to check out are Zen Cannabis’ Fresh Mint 10:1 Hybrid Tincture, which has 16 mg of THC and 1.6 mg of CBD per 1 ml dose, and 500 mg of THC and 50 mg of CBD per 30 ml bottle. The bottle will set you back $50. For a cheaper, lower-dose option, Zen Cannabis also has the Fresh Mint 4:1 Sativa Hybrid that has 100 mg of THC per bottle and 25 mg of CBD. It costs $15.
