With cannabis gaining ground through legislation, the market for research and development of consumer goods is booming. Particularly appealing is the growth of edibles, with endless options for candies, gummies, chocolates, baked goods, and more packing shelves in dispensaries.
Recently, a few major food manufacturers like General Mills, Kellogg, and Pepsi called for Congress to crack down on copycat products that feature packaging and sweets similar to those of famous brands.
While such a move could force certain companies or products to rebrand, this effort won’t likely impact the market for CBD and THC edibles, which are popular with novices and cannasseurs alike. Which edibles are trending right now?

Delta-8 Gummies
Most people are familiar with THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid that features prominently in marijuana. This is Delta-9 THC.
Because marijuana is not yet federally legal and has only been legalized in certain states, many companies have instead focused on products that feature Delta-8 THC extracted from hemp cannabis or, in some cases, synthesized in a lab.
Delta-8 is similar to Delta-9, but it is found in much smaller concentrations, with significantly less potent effects. However, when extracted from hemp, which contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, it is considered legal (although some states have enacted legislation to limit the sale of Delta-8 products).
As a result, Delta-8 is the talk of the town, so to speak, with tons of gummies and other products proliferating. Which ones are the best?
