The Top 4 Cannabis Medibles In THC-attle

​The point of medical-marijuana edibles--or medibles, as they're called for short--is symptom relief. But just because medication's the destination doesn't mean the journey can't be pleasant, does it?

Cannabis treats have come a long way since those gritty-tasting brownies you made in your college dorm room, man. Bear in mind, however, that to purchase any of these treats, you'll need your original, tamper-proof medical-marijuana authorization from a health-care professional, along with your Washington I.D. And please don't leave cannabinated treats where they might be consumed by kids or pets; while eating marijuana never actually hurt anyone, it can be disorienting and thus scare the bejesus out of the uninitiated.

These days, medicated treats are available in many forms. Among such bounteous choices, here are a few of the very best cannabis medibles in town:

​• Be Medicated's Original CFM Pizza (Be Medicated). I mean, really. Does it get any better than this? Finally, cannabis and pizza are brought together so you can cut to the freakin' chase and do 'em both at once. Winning!

And not just any pizza, mind you--this is a lovingly constructed, whole-wheat crust, homemade pizza. You'd wanna eat this pie even if one of the side effects weren't making Pink Floyd the best band everrrr.

The wonderful Beth at Be Medicated tells me she's working on gluten-free and vegan versions of her pizzas, as well.

Beth's savory pies contain both cannabis and cannabis-infused olive oil in the crust, and the crust is slathered with the oil when par-baked. Clearly not one for half-measures, Beth also puts cannabis-infused olive oil in the pizza sauce.

Each pie contains eight delicious doses (one per slice) for patients with average tolerance. Which is to say, I consumed my pizza half at the time with very favorable and long-lasting results.

Be Medicated gets additional points for Beth's innovative system of measuring medible potency on a scale of one to four cute little heavy-lidded smiley faces. You can find Be Medicated's Original CFM Pizza (along with the rest of their delicious lineup) at the Tacoma Cannabis Farmers' Market held two Sundays a month.

​• Snickerdoodles (The Renton Herbalist). Carly's snickerdoodles are not only delicious, they are among the most potent medibles I've ever consumed.

Just one of these perfectly baked cookies was enough to keep me medicated for hours, and my take on its impressive potency was backed up by other baked patients with whom I conferred.

In fact, if you don't use a lot of cannabis, you may want to try only half a cookie and wait an hour to gauge the effects before finishing it off.

​• White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie with Craisins (The Healing Center Organization). The chunky sweetness of white-chocolate chunks and crunchiness of macadamia nuts are perfectly complemented by chewy craisins (dried cranberries) in this delectable offering from Ballard's The Healing Center Organization.

THCO has a good selection of other medicated cookies as well, including Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and the inimitable Puffin' Pecan cookie, as well as a delicious "Magic Bar" with "gram" crackers and coconut. At three for $5, they're a bargain.

Check out THCO at 511 N. 85th St. in Seattle, or give 'em a call at 206-829-9435; they're open 10-7 every day.

​• Chocolate Caramel Cookies (The Chocolate Cure). These spectacular treats from The Chocolate Cure still rank among the best medibles I've ever consumed.

What's more, you don't even have to leave your home to get these sweet, chewy delights which pack a punch.

They're available two for $5 at several dispensaries in town, including the G.A.M.E Collectives with locations in West Seattle (206-371-8647), North Seattle (206-841-7295), and Federal Way (253-202-4195).

You can also get 'em from delivery service The Green Door (www.thegreendoorseattle.com), which now also has a storefront dispensary at 1207 S. Jackson St. in Seattle. If you prefer your medibles brought to you, just give 'em a call at 206-618-7133 to arrange for free delivery. They'll be there within the hour.
