For most people, the mention of cannabis edibles immediately conjures images of magic brownies and heavy-handed chocolate chip cookies. These days, though, THC-packed edibles have gotten a lot more creative than these classic confections. As adult-use and medical legalization spread to new states every year, licensed edible producers have expanded past classic sugar and fat-focused baked goods. From infused salad dressings and cold brew coffee to dinner parties featuring CBD and THC-laced food, the new era of marijuana edibles is filled with endless options and opportunities.
When it comes to sweet treats with a cannabis kick in 2020, perfectly dosed desserts can now get you stoned without adding a sugar high or consuming animal byproducts. That’s right, whether it’s pastries, gummies, or chocolate bars, there are a variety of vegan weed edibles available at dispensaries across the country. Now, you may be asking “Is weed vegan?” and the answer is a resounding “Yes!” But all edibles are not made equally, and some cannabis-infused goodies are packed with non-vegan ingredients like milk and eggs.
Just like the progress in the cannabis edibles industry, Americans across the country are routinely rejecting diets heavy in meat and dairy in favor of plant-based vegan lifestyles. In just five years, US interest in veganism has more than doubled. To match that popularity, companies big and small are ditching the dairy, eggs and honey to cater to health-focused vegans. For cannabis companies, that means producing vegan pot cookies and other vegan marijuana edibles. But how do you know if your favorite THC munchies are cruelty-free? We’ve got you covered. These are our 10 favorite vegan edibles from legal weed states across the nation.

As time continually favors legalization, the cannabis industry has started offering more plant-based products than ever—and it makes sense. Along with a rise in cannabis use, veganism has grown by 600% in America since 2014, which has a positive impact on our environment and the ways we view food. Animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars, trains, planes, and other forms of transportation around the world combined, and studies show going vegan or vegetarian can cut your carbon footprint in half.
If you’re newly-vegan and searching for vegan cannabis products to celebrate a plant-based lifestyle, we’ve got you covered. From candy hearts to tasty concentrates, there’s a dope product for every budget, palate, and tolerance level.
