Valentine’s Day is coming. You’re not sure what to get. You’ve done flowers. You’ve done jewelry, and you’ve probably done chocolates too, but this year you want to be cool. You don’t want to be all…uncool.
While THC edibles are still working their way through the slow but steady legalization process, CBD-infused foods have fast become the darling of the natural remedy and homeopathic world. Depending on where you are, you can get CBD drizzled on or infused into anything from artisan coffee to ice cream and, of course, chocolates too!
With none of the psychotropic effects that THC (full force marijuana) impart, CBD (cannabidiol) is reported to deliver mild relief from ailments like anxiety, joint pain, and a slew of others. Manufactures from Vermont to California have jumped into the CBD game with chocolates, caramels, hard candies, and teas.
As Erin Barry, an advocate who works with and sells organic CBD products at Nutty Steph’s in Vermont, told me recently, “herbal supplements are gaining popularity as folks are looking for pharmaceutical alternatives, and our collective society doesn’t seem to be getting healthier from drugs made in a lab.” There are still some vagaries with what you can legally purchase where, so consult with the retailer and your state’s laws before ordering, but here are a few of our favorite CBD chocolates and sweet treats to give this Valentine’s Day.
Nutty Steph’s Chocolate Bernie Bars, 12 for $55
