Consumers will spend around $3.1 billion on candy alone for the weekend.  But what about having something special, maybe edibles for the adult Easter Basket. BDSA, a leading analytics firm which covers the cannabis industry shared it is another strong year for the marijuana industry.

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. You can also get other flavors including cookies and cream.
A couple of things to remember if you give a special treat. Most edibles will be in a 2.5-10 mg. Â If they are a canna-newbie, make sure they wait 30-45 minutes after eating to allow time for the body to absorb the marijuana.
