Chocolate chip, peanut butter, cinnamon and sugar, lemon … Big Pete’s has a scrumptious array of mini cookies to dip in coffee, tea, or milk for an ideal daytime high—or snack on in bed with a good book. Big Pete’s is a family-owned and operated cannabis business that’s been around for a long time (it was founded back in 1979), and the goodness that goes into these cookies is the real deal.

Kaneh Co.
Available at: City Compassionate Caregivers, LAXCC, Buds & Roses
So many of us adhere to some kind of diet or eating plan—vegan, gluten-free, paleo … The list is neverending. Kaneh Co. makes vegan, gluten-free, no sugar added, paleo-friendly chocolate bites using simple ingredients like dates, almonds, and coconut. Kaneh Co.

Dr. Norm’s
Available at: WHTC, Buds & Roses, The Pottery
Dr. Norm’s delectable little cookies are perfect for the cannabis consumer looking to start low and go slow. Labeled as “chocolate chip therapy,” the 40-calorie bite-sized cookies are available in 5mg and 10mg doses, and you can buy just one! Individual packages give you the opportunity to try a single Dr. Norm’s cookie before splurging on a whole bag. The cookies are chock-full of chocolate chips and chopped pecans, and have a supremely satisfying toffee crunch. You can buy individual cookies, or bags of 20x 5mg cookies or 10x 10mg cookies per bag (100mg).
Venice Cookie Co.
Available at: Green Earth Collective, Silver Lake Caregivers Group, New Amsterdam Naturals
The Venice Cookie Company is celebrating its 10th year in business. We can taste why! Infused cookies, churros, and chocolate chews are all delectable options on offer from this OG edibles company—and we love its pretzel bites, too. There’s the Classic Pretzel Bite with sea salt, Honey Mustard Pretzels, or Savory Pretzels, which are reminiscent of an everything bagel. With a low dose of 3-5mgs THC per pretzel, depending on the flavor you choose, this is a great option to “microdose” with your edibles: eat a small amount, wait an hour and gauge how you feel. You’ll learn so much about your tolerance and enjoyment of edibles that way! 100mg THC per bag.
