Carrie Solomon, co-founder of Leif Goods, Portland, OR, understands why chocolate is an ideal carrier for cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).
Lipophilic cannabis oils combine harmoniously with cocoa butter, the fat extracted from cocoa beans that gives chocolate its smooth texture. Cocoa also offers its own health benefits, thanks to the presence of flavanols, which support cardiovascular and cognitive health.
