I don’t care much about smoking but I like edibles. From my own experience it’s entirely possible to differentiate your product as an edible and I see others finding brands they like and sticking to them. When I’m with friends buying plants they don’t seem to care as much about strain/grower (but that’s anecdotal).



I think edibles will be mostly taken over by concentrates. Instead of (in WA for ex.) paying $40 for 10 10mg edibles, I’ll pay $20 for enough concentrate to make 80 edibles.


I don’t know. Plenty of people like to bake regular cookies, but there are still plenty of varieties of store-bought cookies. People like consistency: consistent taste, texture, and, in this case, potency. That last one is a big one when it comes to mind-altering substances. That, and it’s much easier to buy a sleeve of Oreos rather than whip up a batch when you want a cookie


Do you have any good guide? I’d be interested but don’t where to start. I might try if it’s easy enough to make something that doesn’t taste like I’m eating plants.


Pro tip: Make savoury food. Anything with a high oil/butter content is good, and because it's savoury the "plant" flavour can be more easily masked by other herbs than you can in sweets.

Personally, I find stroganoffs to be really good, as well as things like small pies/quiches that you can mix the butter into the pastry.

Note: I haven't tried any American edibles and not sure how well the sweets mask the flavour - but for the home cook, a sausage roll that then welds you to your sofa is a good thing!


You can just squeeze it on a cracker. Some people like brownies, but using edibles to get high makes as much sense to me as eating rum balls to get drunk.


Check out the show Bong Appetite on Viceland. It will make you want to put cannabis in everything.
