Making vegan edibles at home can be fun if you enjoy cooking, but if it’s really not your thing, you can purchase some edibles pre-made. There are many high-quality vegan edibles available for a reasonable price online and maybe at your local dispensary if marijuana is legal in your area.
If it’s not, have you considered trying CBD? CBD is the other component of marijuana that doesn’t contain any of the psychoactive components (THC). CBD oil can be conveniently purchased online and maybe even in your local health food store. You can consume it as just the oil or you can experiment with edibles made with it.
