One good reason to visit J&K Collective, a medical-marijuana access point located in a residential section of Green Lake, is their small but quality selection of medicated treats from The Half-Baked Cookie Company (www.halfbakedcookies.com). All of the Half-Baked varieties are good, but one of my favorites is the Oatmeal Chocolate Oblivion cookie.

Cannabis butter is the magic ingredient which gives you the titular Oblivion in the cookie's name (as any chronic pain or nausea patient knows, that can be a very good thing). According to the label, like most of Half-Baked's products, the infused butter means the Oblivion cookie contains the equivalent of about one gram of marijuana.

Mississippi mudcake -- a heavenly combination of chocolate, pecans, and gooey marshmallows -- is plenty decadent as is. Medicate the stuff with marijuana, and you've got a delicious, high carb way to spell relief and tickle your sweet tooth all at the same time.More >>

Ums' Irish Carbomb is a man-sized cupcake.

"Guinness is Food," or so goes the old pub truism, and it's literally true with the Irish Carbomb Cupcakes from Mukilteo-based Ums Medibles, a new arrival on the medical marijuana scene. The Carbomb includes weed-infused cannabutter, along with chocolate, flour, sugar, Guinness, eggs and sour cream, and the result is a moist, tender, treat that is both big in size and booming with rich flavor.

In fact, the Carbomb is so big, some patients might have trouble consuming the whole thing in one sitting; that's a lotta carbs there. Even I was challenged to finish it, as good as it was. But if you have a serious yen for a mouth-meltingly moist marijuana medible with some heft to it, this is exactly the ticket.

I practically got arm strain, I got my wallet out so fast.

There are healthy cannabis-infused treats, for those who want them. And then there are delicious gobs of ganja goodness like the Coco Crispy Treats from Nikki's Canna Kitchen.

While attending Sonshine Organics' Washington Farmers Market 4/20 event in Olympia (by the way, a great social event for patients; kudos to organizer Sarena Haskins), I spotted the Coco Crispy Treats on Nikki's vendor table.

Being a follower of sugar, butter and ganja, I was naturally unable to resist trying one of the little free sample bites Nikki had wisely placed on the table. One bite and I was a goner; this stuff tastes delicious, and how could it not?

Ooh-oooh, catch that buzz! Love is the drug I'm thinking of.

"Love" is the first ingredient listed on the label of the Head Stash White Chocolate & Raspberry bar, and that's always a good thing. But Head Stash doesn't rely on emotions alone to make effective medication: they employ science too. Also listed on that same label is "Minimum Cannabinoid Content 240mg."

That's the kind of dosage information that should be included with all medical marijuana edibles, and it's helpful in deciding just how much to have.

PC Edibles' Milk Chocolate Crunch Detonator is what Nestle's Crunch bars would be if they got you stoned. My Crunch Detonator, which I found at new medical marijuana collective Gourmet Green on Aurora Avenue North, was delicious, fresh and potent.

An $8 donation got me a Crunch Detonator at Gourmet Green, along with an interesting and informative talk with knowledgeable budtender Leslie. After our talk of medibles in general focused in on specific products, the Detonator came with Leslie's highest recommendation, and I soon found out why.

J&K Collective, located in a residential section of Green Lake, doesn't have a large selection of medibles, but those they do have are good ones. On a recent Sunday, I visited the collective in its quiet neighborhood and got a free Peanut Buddy medicated cookie (a $5 value) with my $50 donation.

The Peanut Buddy, made by The Half-Baked Cookie Company (www.halfbakedcookies.com), is basically an old-fashioned peanut butter cookie, with the happy difference that the peanut butter and regular butter used in the recipe are both infused with cannabis.

From time to time I try a cannabis edible that is so delicious, I'd eat it even if there weren't any marijuana involved. Kush Cakes Frosted Lemon Pound Cake falls squarely within that happy category.

The cakes come four to a package for a $10 donation, and their lemon-flavored frosting puts them over the top into the sheer hedonistic delight category. The Kush Cakes were moist, fresh, and delicious -- my tastebuds thought the treats were heaven on earth with a glass of milk.

But of course, at medible prices, the taste had better be just Act One.

​It could be said that there are two broad classes of medibles: The dishes which are new, unique creations, and those which are variations of established treats, but "with weed." Seattle's Finest Reefer's Cup definitely falls in the latter category.

The Reefer's Cups, which come two to the package for a $10 donation, look just like their mainstream namesake (and the lookalike packaging will result in a cease and desist order from Reese's in 10... 9... 8...), with the crucial difference being that these two cups contain, together, a gram of cannabis.

​Manufacturers of cannabis-infused drinkables -- like medibles makers -- have a dilemma. Patient sensitivity to the medication can vary so widely that what may be a knockout punch for one person may have no effect at all on a patient with a higher tolerance to cannabis.More >>
