Get started, and try this quick and easy edible for yourself.\n\nRELATED: [CONSUMING CANNABIS EDIBLES TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a567e8fc7e0180007a7826c/consuming-cannabis-edibles-to-improve-your-health)\n\n### Ingredients for Cannabis-Infused Broccoli Cheddar Soup\n\n4–6 servings\n\n* 4 tbsp cannabutter*\n* 2 tbsp flour \n* 1 cup milk\n* 12 oz shredded sharp Cheddar cheese\n* 1/2 tbsp minced garlic\n* 32 oz chicken broth\n* 14 oz frozen broccoli \n* Salt and pepper to taste\n\nOptional:\n* Bread\n* Carrots \n* Bacon\n\n*Check out our [recipe for cannabutter](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b27915fe98a1000c000243/diy-recipe-cannabutter-or-cannabis-butter). Use your best judgment on dosing based on your previous experiences with edibles. If you have a lower tolerance to cannabis and want to make a less potent soup, you can always substitute plain butter for part of the cannabutter. \n\n#### Cooking Tools:\n\n* Large or medium cooking pot\n* Mixing spatula or spoon \n* Measuring cups and spoons\n\n### How to Make Cannabis-Infused Broccoli Cheddar Soup \n\n1. Before you begin, it’s always a good idea to make sure you have all of your ingredients and cooking tools at the ready and out on a clean surface. \n\n2. Put a medium or large cooking pot on the stove, and turn on low heat. Add the cannabutter, and let it melt (watching carefully to make sure it doesn’t start to burn or brown). \n\n3. Once melted, mix in the garlic and flour, and turn the heat up slightly. Watch for about a minute as the flour lightly browns and makes the mixture a light brown color. \n\n4. Add the chicken broth to the pot, turning the heat on high and stirring every few minutes to ensure even heating. Let the broth heat to a low boil. \n\n5. Once the broth is bubbling at a low boil, mix in the frozen broccoli and the milk. (This is also when you’d want to add in carrots if you’re using them.) Let the mixture come back up to a simmer, and then adjust the heat to keep it simmering. Continue simmering until the broccoli is cooked through and soft. You should be able to break the broccoli apart very easily with your spoon or spatula when it’s finished cooking. \n\n6. When the broccoli has finished cooking and is soft enough to break apart with your spoon or spatula, remove it from the heat and mix in all but half a cup of the cheese. Set the other half cup of cheese aside. \n\n7. Season your soup with salt and pepper to taste. The cheese already includes plenty of salt, so I just add pepper. But if you like your soup a bit more seasoned, you may want more. At this stage, you can also mix in bacon, if you’re including it.\n\n8. Serve immediately in a bowl or bread bowl, adding a touch of pepper and some of the remaining shredded cheese as a garnish on top of each bowl.\n\nPhoto credit: Brent Hofacker/Shutterstock.com\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-what-you-need-to-know-about-marijuana/) index of articles.

And what better way to make sure your soiree stands out from the rest than with some cannabis microdoses. Offering your guests a small amount of [tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/thc) as they arrive (or early on during the party) gives them the opportunity to experience cannabis without overwhelming them.\n\nFor some people, a small amount of marijuana relaxes them, while for others it brings out their talkative side. And for some wallflowers, a little bit of cannabis can help them truly enjoy a party anxiety-free. It’s just a fun, natural way for you to help your guests get in the mood to chat, connect and have fun.\n\n[Cannabis edibles](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/consuming-cannabis-edibles-to-improve-your-health) nowadays don’t mean a crumbly, earthy-tasting brownie that isn’t labeled with strain or dosage information. Modern-day marijuana edibles are delicious, crafted with top-shelf ingredients and precisely dosed. There’s also a whole category of marijuana edibles that contain only a few milligrams of THC per serving, perfect for serving at a party.\n\n![Hello6-min (9).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello6_min_9_6f2860857c.png)\n\nThese microdosed edibles are beautiful, too, so they’ll look inviting set out on a festive tray, which you can walk around your party. Offering cannabis edibles individually to your guests is probably the best way to present them, rather than just setting out a bowl of treats and letting people serve themselves. These edibles are so delicious, that people may not be able to stop themselves from eating just one, so it may be best for you to dole out these elevated treats.\n\nAs always, label your cannabis edibles and explain to people the advantages of **[microdosing](https://www.hellomd.com/tag/microdosing)** and how the treatment may affect them. And don’t forget to **keep them away from children and pets**.\n\nIf you’re serving alcohol at your party, keep in mind that alcohol can affect how people react to cannabis, even if they’re ingesting just a microdose. Anecdotally, people report feeling the effects of THC more when they’re drinking alcohol, and now there’s a science to back that up. One study showed that [alcohol causes more THC to be present in the bloodstream](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5ab87d79f24d1300077ccb9d/are-marijuana-infused-alcoholic-drinks-a-good-idea), so people feel the THC more when combining it with alcohol, as opposed to when they take THC on its own.\n\nHere are four of our favorite cannabis microdoses sure to bring holiday cheer to your party. \n\n![Hello1-min (21).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello1_min_21_b14be3146c.png)\n\n### 1. Espresso Terra Bites From Kiva\n\nIf your party guests are into coffee, a great cannabis edible perfect for microdosing is the [Espresso Terra Bites from Kiva](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5748ac79a7ccb6000800007c/terra-bites-espresso). The company coats micro-roasted Tanzanian coffee beans with cannabis-infused dark chocolate to make these delectable and potent treats. There’s no hint of a marijuana taste, and the chocolate is rich and luscious, so people will definitely be tempted to eat more than one.\n\nThere’s 5mg of THC in each terra bite, and Kiva uses a 24-hour panning technique to make sure every espresso bean has exactly the right amount of cannabis on it. So, with these bites, you can be sure you’re getting a precise dose each time. Since there’s 5 mg per espresso bean, it’s a good idea to tell guests to start with just one and wait at least an hour before going back for more. These sophisticated and delicious marijuana edible will help your guests feel calm, loose, and ready to have fun.\n\n![Hello3-min (17).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello3_min_17_c60e81feeb.png)\n\n### 2. Plus Sour Watermelon Gummies\n\nIf you think a fruity gummy marijuana edible would fit in better at your shindig, pick up a few tins of [Sour Watermelon Sativa Gummies from Plus](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58ed3ceec064b40d58fad313/sour-watermelon-sativa-gummies). These flavorful gummies are low-calorie, gluten-free, and made with natural, kosher ingredients. They’ve got a sweet and fruity flavor profile and aroma that’s a definite crowd-pleaser.\n\nEach gummy has 5mg THC, though they’re easier to split in half than some other kinds of cannabis edibles. So, if a guest is a little wary of eating a whole gummy, there’s no problem offering them half of one instead.\n\nPeople report that these Sour Watermelon gummies are great for relaxation and easing stress and [anxiety](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-for-anxiety-and-stress-disorders). So, if any of your guests are feeling nervous about being in a crowd or anxious because they don’t know many people at your party, a sour watermelon gummy will have them ready to mingle in no time.\n\n![Hello4-min (19).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello4_min_19_657bcee0ad.png)\n\n### 3. The Surfer Cookie From Venice Cookie Company\n\nFor a cannabis edible that’s a little bigger and stronger than other options are, you can’t go wrong with [Venice Cookie Company’s The Surfer cookie](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5bb3c7e97fa3281f4e85f4f0/the-surfer). Each scrumptious peanut butter cookie also contains coconut and white chocolate chips—a healthy way to indulge just a bit this holiday season.\n\nEach Surfer cookie contains 10 mg THC, so it’s the most potent marijuana edible on the list. But cookies are easy to split in half or quarters, so you can accommodate your guests’ tolerance levels and desired effects.\n\nPeople who’ve tried The Surfer from Venice Cookie Company say that the cookie helps ease anxiety and [pain](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/studies-support-cannabis-as-an-effective-painkiller). Many folks agree that it’s a potent edible. So if you’ve got any cannabis newbies on your guest list, definitely suggest only starting with a small piece of the cookie, then waiting at least two hours before seeing if they want more. \n\n![Hello5-min (15).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello5_min_15_a328a65906.png)\n\n### 4. Level’s Elevate Tablinguals\n\nUnlike the rest of the list, these little tablets aren’t technically edibles—they’re sublinguals. [Level’s Elevate Tablinguals](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abbf1c41bb06d000861404c/elevate-tablinguals) are designed to dissolve in the mouth, so you don’t chew or swallow them. This allows the membranes in your mouth to absorb the THC quicker than eating the [cannabinoid](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/cannabinoids-chemical-compounds-with-huge-therapeutic-potential).\n\nEach tablingual contains 3mg THC, making it a perfect little dose to help people relax and uplift their mood. The tablinguals have a nice, clean peppermint taste. People report feeling the tablingual’s effects in about 5–15 minutes without any crash or groggy feeling after it wears off. \n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-what-you-need-to-know-about-marijuana/) index of articles.\n\n### Get a Medical Marijuana Card Online\nIt's easy to get your medical marijuana document with the online [Telehealth service HelloMD](https://www.hellomd.com/get-started/).

And a lot of times, in spite of the five streaming services that you’re currently subscribed to, there’s absolutely nothing to watch. \n\nIn these cases, it’s best to do something a little old fashioned—that’s right: Go to the movies. How else are you going to see the newest “Star Wars” flick or the Rock’s latest project?\n\nBesides, the movies still hold a certain mystique: There’s something about the smell of popcorn, the giant screen, that superior sound system and the camaraderie of watching something with a group of people that’s hard to replicate at home. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nAnd of course, when going to the movies, why wouldn’t you bring along a little cannabis? Anyone who’s had a bit of marijuana before seeing a movie knows that the plant can make the experience more pleasurable and fun. Maybe this is because marijuana increases focus and attention, and it keeps your mind in the moment. \n\nDepending on what you’re consuming, sounds can take on a new dimension and colors may become more vibrant. So, if you’re seeing an action flick, or a highly stylized science fiction film, cannabis can help take your enjoyment to a new level.\n\nBut let’s be honest, cannabis can make almost all movies—no matter the genre—a little better. \n\nAny responsible cannabis consumer knows that enjoying cannabis at the movies requires discretion. With this in mind, edibles may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s 2018: There are so many other discreet choices available that the options can be dizzying.\n\nTo help you make a good decision, we’ve rounded up a few products that you can take along with you—edibles and more. \n\n### 1. Satori California Raisins in Milk Chocolate\n\n![Satori California Raisins in Milk Chocolate](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-dcdf490b-9272-470b-bd29-3d4c4414dca0/original.png)\n\nMove over Raisinets—there’s a new snack in town. Chocolate-covered raisins are a movie theater classic, and Satori has updated them with its California Raisins in Milk Chocolate; the chocolate surrounding these raisins is infused with a little tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Each piece contains about 1 mg THC, so you can microdose to a T. \n\nSince edibles can take a while to kick in, have a few about an hour before the movie starts and reassess how you feel once the trailers are playing. You can always pop a few more if you don’t think you had enough. Just don’t get carried away and eat too many at once. \n\n### 2. PLUS Sour Watermelon Gummies \n\n![Plus Sour Watermelon Gummies](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-633a76ab-4af0-4598-8b4e-0d52b9234187/original.png)\n\nSour gummies are another movie theater staple, and now they’ve gotten an adult upgrade. \nThese PLUS Sour Watermelon Sativa Gummies contain 10 mg of THC a piece. That’s enough to get most of us through a two-hour movie and more, though if you’re a pro you may want to consider having two. \n\nThe upbeat, creative nature of these sativa gummies lends itself well to a variety of movie genres, be it a whimsical fantasy flick or a light-hearted comedy. Plus, these gummies come in a compact tin that fits neatly in your pocket. \n\nAgain, depending on your metabolism, you’ll probably want to have at least half a gummy 45 minutes to an hour before the movie starts and assess how you feel when the trailers finish up. \n\n### 3. Jetty Reckless Rainbow Dablicator \n\n![Jetty Reckless Rainbow Dablicator](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-c3e02ba3-54c8-436d-8ba0-9cce57f20ab8/original.png)\n\nIf you’re the type who prefers to sip on a hot beverage during a movie instead of munching on popcorn, Jetty’s Dablicator in Reckless Rainbow may be just the thing for you. Concentrates can be intimidating, but Jetty aims to fix that with its Dablicator. All you have to do is twist and click the pen to apply a concentrate in precise 0.5 g increments. \n\nSome movies theaters serve tea and coffee, but if the one you’re going to doesn’t or you’re headed to an outdoor screening, just pack along a thermos filled with your favorite hot beverage and add a bit of this Reckless Rainbow concentrate to the mix. A potent hybrid strain, Reckless Rainbow is known to bring about euphoria as well as creativity and calm—a good fit for a visually stunning period piece or perhaps a dreamy noir flick. \n\nTypically, cannabis in beverage form tends to hit consumers more quickly than edibles will. So, you can start sipping during the previews and feel the effects once the plot kicks in. \n\n### 4. Kikoko Positivi-Tea\n\n![Kikoko Positivi-Tea](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-38cf8695-06d6-43a0-9ec9-81e1f2c9ba9d/original.png)\n\nIf you like the idea of sipping on something during a movie, but aren’t sure you’re ready for concentrates, we’ve got you covered with Kikoko’s Positivi-Tea. Each tea bag needs to steep in hot water for at least 90 seconds, so be sure to pack a thermos. You can also cool things down and bring it along iced. Either way, pair this mellow tea with an upbeat chick flick or a serene indie film. \n\nWith a manageable 10 mg THC and 5 mg CBD per bag, Kikoko’s Positivi-Tea is a great option for newbies or those who are sensitive to THC, as CBD balances out THC’s psychoactive effects. Compared to edibles, this tea’s effects tend to kick in and subside more quickly; this can be a pro or a con, depending on the length of the flick you go to see—so choose wisely.\n\n### 5. DomPen Pineapple Coast\n\n![DomPen Pineapple Coast vape pen](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-e586e7bc-6205-415e-bb7f-9b079055b15e/original.png)\n\nIf you want a cannabis consumption option that takes effect immediately, consider an all-in-one vapor pen. No, we’re not suggesting that you vape in the movie theater—please don’t be _that_ guy. Instead, have a bit outside before the movie starts. \n\nDomPen’s Pineapple Coast is a no fuss, all-in-one vape pen, so you don’t have to worry about charging up a battery beforehand. This blend imparts balanced, hybrid effects that’ll relax both body and mind. \n\nProviding a versatile, upbeat high, DomPen’s Pineapple Coast pairs well with almost any movie. Bring it along when you’re being dragged to the latest superhero movie or a new rom-com that your S.O. doesn’t want to watch alone.  \n\nThe effects from vape pens tend to wear off in about one to two hours, making DomPen’s Pineapple Coast a good fit for shorter flicks. \n\nPhoto credit: [Jeff Pierre](https://unsplash.com/@jeffpierredrums)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) index of articles.

And for the rest of us, stress can arise for a number of reasons: household chores piling up, a looming job interview, a critical project at work, a sick family member—the causes are near-endless. \n\nThinking about decompressing holistically is a good way to start reducing the stress in your life. Make time for meditation, exercise regularly, be proactive about planning ahead and organizing. And why not add cannabis to your daily routine? \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Can Cannabis Really Help Me De-Stress?\n\nOne of the cannabis plant’s most prominent cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has a very similar structure to an endocannabinoid we produce naturally: anandamide. [Anandamide is also known as the bliss molecule](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a949d06f24d1300077ccb66/eating-anandamide-the-bliss-molecule) because it promotes feelings of pleasure. It also plays a role in regulating other functions like motivation, appetite and memory. \n\nInterestingly, THC also increases dopamine levels, another molecule that’s tied to our pleasure responses. People who experience anxiety are thought to have low levels of dopamine. \n\nTests have shown there’s a [link between marijuana and lower stress levels](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-017-4648-z). In a 2017 study out of Washington State University, patients took a stress test. Some of the test subjects consumed cannabis beforehand, and some didn’t. The marijuana consumers reported less stress during the test. Their blood also showed lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. \n\nSo, the science seems to back cannabis as a stress buster. But how does this translate to real life? Seven HelloMD team members share their favorite marijuana products, which they find help them de-stress, relax and unwind.\n\n### Pax Level Remedy 3:1 Takes the Edge off, While Keeping Your Edge\n\n![Pax Level Remedy 3:1](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-9bdbfe55-b81b-4c96-8387-b0cd0eedad48/original.png)\n\n**[Kevin P.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/59928c89324eaa1d3e2ce54e/charmingkodiak1/my-story), customer service specialist:** “I like vaporizers because when I'm looking to deal with stress, I want something that's going to help right away. And I really like the [Remedy 3:1 Pax Era Pod by Level](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abc00091bb06d0008614069/remedy-31)— that’s three parts CBD (cannabidiol) to one part THC. \n\n“Sometimes if I get really high, I may actually feel more anxious, fall asleep and then wake up in a couple of hours and still have whatever I was worried about to worry about. But with this ratio, it’s psychoactive, and I feel a little bit of a tickle, but it's more of a reduction of symptoms than getting really high. So, you just don't notice the things that stress you out as much. That's something I really like.\n\n“I especially like to vape Remedy when I'm cooking for other people. I really love to cook, but I get a little stressed when I cook for others. And I'm not one of those people who can have a glass of wine while I'm cooking to relax—that just makes me forget what I'm doing. So, just a puff or two on the vaporizer, and I can feel relaxed but still concentrate.” \n\n### Level Soothe Delta-8 THC Tablinguals Help You De-Stress & Give You Confidence \n\n![Level Soothe Delta-8 THC Tablinguals](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-398665d4-56b9-48ac-a44f-a8a0bb0d2d17/original.png)\n\n**[Danielle L.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/59c02607064564000f877688/danielle-lim/my-story), health & wellness writer:** “My favorite product for stress is [Level’s Soothe Delta-8 THC Tablinguals](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abbf1161bb06d000861404a/soothe-tablinguals). I tried one based on HelloMD co-founder Pamela’s recommendation, and I’d say it's pretty spot on to how she describes it: like having a glass of wine. \n\n“I remember taking this tablingual before I was meeting up with somebody who I didn't really know, which made me a little anxious and stressed out. I was a lot more social, but I wasn't really conscious of it until afterwards. I was like, ‘Oh wow, that was a really nice, easy conversation that I had with somebody that I didn't really know.’ \n\n“I think for social stressors, this tablingual is really good. I’d say I didn't notice the effects right away, but as I was having a conversation with her, I was pretty conscious about how at ease I was. And then I remember after I had that conversation, it just put me in a really good mood, so I actually went out with some friends afterwards. It just kept me in a really good mood the whole time.”\n\n### Plus Sour Watermelon Sativa Gummies Lift a Bad Mood \n\n![Plus Sour Watermelon Sativa Gummies](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-566f493f-3b14-44e0-a2de-6573de6b58d2/original.png)\n\n**[Ryan G.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5978f93daa0db4145a24da3f/ryang/my-story), customer service lead:** “First off, I really like the taste of the [Plus Sour Watermelon Sativa Gummies](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58ed3ceec064b40d58fad313/sour-watermelon-sativa-gummies). And I also find that they give me a boost in energy. So, usually if I’m in a bad mood, I’ll also feel tired. But after taking these, I feel happy, I get the giggles, and I definitely feel a boost in my spirits. \n\n“My wife says she can see a total turnaround in me after I take these gummies. After they start kicking in, she’ll say, ‘Well you're laughing; you’re talkative; I can see they’re working.’ They don't make me feel out of it or spacey. It's more of a cerebral high, and they also don’t make me feel lazy or couch-locked or anything like that.\n\n“I have a pretty fast metabolism, so I start feeling the effects in less than an hour, in around 45 minutes. But because of my fast metabolism, the feeling doesn't last too long. So, what I've learned to do is take a few and just as they’re starting to kick in, wait an hour or two and then take another one to keep that good mood going. And they're small enough to where I’m pretty much microdosing when I consume them.” \n\n### Jetty’s Do Si Do Dablicator Is a Healthier Way to Decompress\n\n![Jetty Do Si Do Dablicator](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-b58abed4-0b08-4c57-8ad8-7798f49e23e3/original.png)\n\n**[Bart S.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5817af1a97ed67000a00143c/BartSmart/my-story), customer service specialist:**I like the [Do Si Do Dablicator from Jetty](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abbf8e01bb06d000861405d/dablicatortm-do-si-do) at the end of a long day. It definitely helps me relax and puts me to sleep. So, if I end up working late, I need to unwind before I can go to sleep. This is what helps me speed up that unwinding process.\n\n“It also helps me reflect back on my day, so, if I'm too stressed out, I can kind of analyze my day and think about it and then it helps me realize, ‘Oh I can handle this. Everything is cool.’\n\n“The way I consume it is, I put the dabs in my tabletop vaporizer. I like to dab because honestly, I think it's healthier for me. When you’re smoking joints, that’s paper you’re smoking. And you use less with concentrates than with flower. So, if you’re smoking multiple grams of flower a week, that’s a lot of organic material going into your lungs. Dabs can be purer, and you don’t have to use so much, only a tiny bit.”\n\n### Tranquili-Tea From Kikoko Helps You Unwind & Get Ready for Bed \n\n![Kikoko Tranquili-Tea](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-0ba25fc8-c407-44ef-a694-58733b0e2d90/original.png)\n\n**[Veronica B.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/583c9403925c1a000b5029bb/veronicab/my-story), customer service specialist:** “Tea is great, and I find that it just really relaxes me. Cannabis really relaxes me as well, so putting these two things together in this [Tranquili-Tea from Kikoko](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58dc2cfe53635624bf2a4992/tranquili-tea) gives me a nice, little, relaxing, de-stressing cup of tea. It’s also good for relaxing the brain and focusing on resting, which can segue into restful sleep. And If I’m well-rested, then I’m definitely less stressed out. \n\n“I find the effects of the tea very mellow, so it's great for people who are pretty new to cannabis or just want to de-stress a little bit but don't want a super cerebral or full-body experience. It won't be overwhelming, but you’ll definitely feel better and relaxed. For me, it’s not intensely psychoactive, but just enough to make me feel better.” \n\n### Pax Level Float Kicks in for Quick Relief Day or Night\n\n![Float Pax Era Pod from Level](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-292c2849-75de-48c6-a775-8180d0995803/original.png)\n\n**[Nik S.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5afb562618263800077e507a/nsavelli/my-story), \ncustomer service specialist:** “I would say the [Float Pax Era Pod from Level](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abbfeed1bb06d0008614063/float) is what I reach for when I’m feeling stressed, mainly because of its high potency. I also think the flavor is really good. It's definitely very relaxing, very calming and gives you, for lack of a better word, that floating feeling.\n\n“I really appreciate Level’s extraction process and the way it blends the terpenes back in. It doesn't have that fake glycerin taste that you get from certain other brands. I’d say Level does a really good all around.\n\n“I like the Float Pax Era Pod’s quick onset when you compare it to an edible or a gel capsule or a tincture. With other methods, I find sometimes they might give you an anxious feeling when you’re waiting to see if it will make you feel better. You may be sitting there thinking, ‘When's this going to kick in? Is this going to work well?’ And that might add to your anxiety even more. Whereas, when you're vaping, it's easier because you'll feel the effects pretty rapidly. \n\n“I think Float’s great because it can provide stimulation but can also produce other uplifting effects, including that relaxing feeling. So, it's one that can be used during the day or night.”\n\n### Unwind With Satori Wild Strawberries in Chocolate\n\n![Satori's Wild Strawberries in Chocolate](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-e5b76855-d3f8-44f6-83ec-0285dc3f991e/original.png)\n\n**[Melissa N.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5697f4f109d7dd000c000018/melissa/my-story), office manager:** “I like the [Satori Wild Strawberries in Chocolate](https://www.hellomd.com/products/586593fb159af1000c6d05fc/wild-strawberries-in-chocolate) because they're great for microdosing and not super high in THC. If you're in a bad mood, they just lift you up. You won't be super stoned so you can still function, but it just takes the edge off.\n\n“When I'm in a bad mood, and it's hard to change the channel in my mind, I like to take these, and then I usually say to myself, ‘Oh, I feel a little better now. I don't know why I was stressed about that.’ Or if I'm feeling overwhelmed then it just kind of perks me up a little. \n\n“A lot of people de-stress with alcohol, but I don't personally really like drinking that much. When I was younger, I used to be able to go hard at it, and I would never have a hangover the next day. But now, even if I drink two beers and don't get drunk, I still feel terrible the next day. So, for me, something like this to de-stress is much more preferable. \n\n“I also really like how these taste. You can taste just a little bit of the cannabis, but not too much like other edibles, which is good because that's the biggest thing for me. I really struggle with edibles because I can taste the cannabis. But the strawberries and the chocolate do a nice job of covering it up—and who doesn't like chocolate-covered strawberries?” \n\nMain photo credit: [Nathan Cowley](https://www.pexels.com/@mastercowley)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56201c206430320006bb0000/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

If you’ve got the day off and are looking to celebrate, try one of these cannabis goods to elevate your day.\n\n### 1. Chemdawg Flower from Be Kind\n\n![Chemdawg flower from Be Kind](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-7ef21b0a-f7f1-4450-ba69-5feca23869b0/original.png)\n\nNo one really knows where the hybrid strain [Chemdawg](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cc81ad520d60009f4f4a7/chemdawg) came from. Chemdawg is known for its strong aroma and for imparting a powerful head and body high. This one may not be the best choice for cannabis newbies, but consumers report it’s great for easing the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety and chronic pain. \n\n**[Ryan G.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5978f93daa0db4145a24da3f/ryang), customer service specialist:** “Nothing screams 420 to me more than having a plethora of flower and a whole bunch of friends to share it with. Dabs may be a little too intense to be out and about, while vape pens aren’t as fun to share. I find the process of breaking down the cannabis and rolling it myself to be very therapeutic. I also enjoy trying to be creative and rolling braided joints, cross joints, extra fat blunts and fun things like that.\n\n“For this particular day, I will be filling my joints and blunts with Chemdawg from Be Kind. It’s the perfect hybrid because it gives you the energy you need to get you through the day, without getting anxious. The onset is immediate and very heavy. One minute you’re lighting the joint, the next minute you’re feeling the full effects. This strain works for any setting, but the novice cannabis consumer should be very careful to not overindulge.” \n\n### 2. Satori Wild Strawberries in Organic Milk Chocolate\n\n![Satori wild strawberries in organic milk chocolate](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-d5707fce-aca4-473a-a01a-92953f95d2ab/original.png)\n\nA truly tasty way to consume cannabis, these [wild strawberry and organic milk chocolate confections from Satori](https://www.hellomd.com/products/586593fb159af1000c6d05fc/wild-strawberries-in-milk-chocolate) are a great way to microdose marijuana, allowing you to control how much cannabis you consume. Made with organic, hand-picked strawberries and cannabis oil from Absolute Xtracts, it’s no wonder why these are a favorite among the HelloMD staff.  \n\n**[Veronica B.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/583c9403925c1a000b5029bb/veronicab), customer service specialist:** “My 420 pick is Satori’s wild strawberries in organic milk chocolate. Satori covers small pieces of strawberries with cannabis-infused chocolate providing approximately 3 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per piece. The tiny candies make this the perfect product for microdosing, which may be necessary if you plan on consuming cannabis all day long. The combination of chocolate and strawberries easily conceals any cannabis taste, but you’ll immediately notice the flavor from the fresh fruit. \n\n“I love chocolate-covered strawberries for special occasions, so whenever I eat this marijuana edible, it feels like a celebration. And 420 is a reason to celebrate cannabis.\n\n“If you’re new to cannabis, you can take one small piece and consume more as needed until you’ve reached desired effects, but please consume with caution. The delicious taste may make you forget that you’re eating a cannabis-infused edible. But if you have a high tolerance for THC like me, don’t be surprised or feel guilty if you finish the entire box on this notable day.”\n\nRELATED: [3 POPULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT MARIJUANA & MICRODOSING ANSWERED](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5ab47f4ef24d1300077ccb98/3-popular-questions-about-marijuana-and-microdosing-answered)\n\n### 3. Gorilla Glue # 4 From Be Kind\n\n![Gorilla Glue #4 from Be Kind](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-948f51bd-a76e-46a3-857d-1cc35d9f9215/original.png)\n\n[Gorilla Glue](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a9d9a2afdb6dd00088d0cf0/gorilla-glue) is an award-winning cannabis strain, which can trace its lineage back to several other strains. It imparts a heavy head and body high. Consumers report it boosts mood and increases social interactions. It’s also known to help with sinus issues, so many migraine sufferers pick Gorilla Glue as their strain of choice. \n\n**[Bart S.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5817af1a97ed67000a00143c/bartsmart), customer service specialist:** “If you’re a seasoned cannabis consumer, I’d recommend Gorilla Glue #4 for your 420 celebrations. Gorilla Glue #4 packs a powerful, quick-acting head high. One of the most psychoactive strains I’ve tried, it’s great for boosting your creativity and mood. And it works as well as cannabis can in social situations.\n\n“Rolling a joint or blunt of the Gorilla Glue #4 flowers would be a fun way to bring back the nostalgia of earlier 420 celebrations as cartridges and dab rigs seem to have infiltrated the cannabis community.\n\n“GG #4 is the epitome of an indica-dominant hybrid strain, and because of this I’d recommend waiting until you’re out and about before smoking this strain, as you may never leave the house and feel superglued to your couch. Once you make it out of the house and are with friends, then the mental boost will keep you going until the end of the day as your mind wanders toward positivity and calm.\n\n“If you want to take a break from reality and experience the joy of 420 by getting a heavy-handed hybrid high, then load your bong with some GG #4 flowers as it will leave you satisfied and prepared for a restful night.”\n\n### 4. Beboe Pastilles\n\n![Beboe pastilles](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-082ef2b1-83b6-47c2-8613-07194cd638b7/original.png)\n\nBeboe is the new kid on the block when it comes to luxury cannabis products. The recently launched company offers vape pens and pastilles complete with quality ingredients in opulent packaging. It’s easy to see why people are turning to Beboe for an extra-special marijuana experience. \n\n**[Melissa N.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5697f4f109d7dd000c000018/melissa), office manager:** “My pick, and my most recent discovery, is the Beboe Pastilles. Dubbed the \"Hermes of Marijuana\" by _The New York Times_, everything Beboe makes is super fancy and high-end. The pastilles come in a white box with a rose gold-foiled design. I will admit: I’m a sucker for design, and rose gold is my favorite color. Opening the box reveals a slim, peach-colored tin and inside are the pastel-colored, diamond-shaped pastilles. One side is stamped with Beboe and the other side says 5 mg and has an upside-down heart\n \n“Each pastille has 5 mg of sativa THC and 3 mg of cannabidiol (CBD), and contains a natural accelerant to speed up absorption. These are pretty fast-acting, and I feel the effects about 10–15 minutes after eating one. The consistency is similar to a kid's chewable vitamin. I like to let these dissolve like a lozenge. The taste is very similar to a sweet tart candy with a hint of cannabis. It leaves an apple aftertaste on my tongue. \n \n“The Beboe Pastilles are my ideal cannabis product. Eating one really helps take the edge off when I’m stressed. I feel lighter, happier and still able to function. When I'm in a sour mood, this turns it right around. When I hit that afternoon slump after lunch, this is a perfect pick-me-up. I like how uplifted it makes me feel, while not making me feel stoned, and I can still go about my day like normal, but in a much better mood. If I could pick one word to describe how these make me feel, it would be … pleasant.” \n\n### 5. Plus Sour Watermelon Super Potent Sativa Gummies\n\n![Plus sour watermelon super potent sativa gummies](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-d1ff73c6-1a0a-4b2f-84e9-a024f7108ab2/original.png)\n\nIf you like your cannabis edibles sweet, but don’t want to ingest a ton of sugar, these [Plus Sour Watermelon Super Potent Sativa Gummies](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58ed3ceec064b40d58fad313/sour-watermelon-sativa-gummies) might be for you. They’re low calorie, all natural and kosher. And at only 5 mg of THC per piece, they let you control your marijuana consumption with ease. \n\n**[Dmitry B.](https://www.hellomd.com/people/5a04a8c087088100077819a9/dmitry-bikkinin), marketing videographer/editor:** “One of my favorite products on the market is Plus gummies. I’m quite picky with edibles because of the amount of sugar and the taste of [decarboxylated cannabis](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56de6bd6c60fd50008000081/decarboxylating-marijuana-why-its-important), and Plus gets a solid A-plus in every discipline. \n\n“These Plus gummies taste like a fresh bite of juicy watermelon and leave your teeth free of plaque, thanks to the sweetener they use, xylitol. They’re dosed very smartly at 5 mg of THC per gummy, so they’ll work great for novice and experienced users alike. The effect gives you a good kick in motivation and creativity.\n\n“But be careful to not over-enjoy these tasty gummies. Otherwise, they may put you in the sleepy mood. Onset is about 30 minutes after eating, and effects can last as long as two hours—maybe more.”\n\nMain photo credit: [“thöR](https://www.flickr.com/people/_thor_/)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Today’s ever-growing assortment of marijuana edibles can include everything from the tried-and-true gummies and lollipops to caramels, chocolates, popcorn, potato chips, capsules and more.\n\nMeanwhile, cannabis sublinguals are a growing category in the industry because they’re a fast-acting form of administration that doesn’t require any type of inhalation—a la smoking and vaping. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to feel the effects of a cannabis edible, while sublinguals can offer relief in as little as 15 minutes.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nFor folks who want to medicate while on the go, here’s a roundup of marijuana edibles and sublinguals that are compact in size and super discreet.

Packing 10 mg of CBD—with trace amounts of THC, cannabinol (CBN), and other cannabinoids and terpenes—in each dose, these diminutive chews are reminiscent of Tootsie Rolls in color, texture and flavor.\n\n### 4.

[Level’s Calm](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abbed821bb06d000861403d/calm-tablinguals) tablets each contain 3 mg of cannabigerol (CBG), which has been shown to help ease anxiety, depression and pain.
