Weed-infused edibles have come a long way. Far from the home-baked hash brownies of our teenager years, we’re now the first generation of adults who can go to a store and buy organic infused weed gummies, crackers, drinks, and even THC-ice cream. We’ve also learned a lot in recent years about the science of ingesting cannabis, which can help us pick the kinds of products we might want to try.

This episode, host Brit Smith talks to California-based cannabis journalist Jackie Bryant. In her latest article for Different Leaf the Magazine, Jackie dives into the science of what happens inside our bodies when we eat pot-infused food.
