Colorado Hemp Honey, $50
Start with Frangiosa Farms raw honey made in small batches at a micro-apiary located along the Cherry Creek river.

The result is a sweet super food — add it to evening tea, make a healthy peanut butter and honey sandwich, or use it as a glaze on chicken wings. For every jar sold the company donates 10 cents to Veterans to Farmers, which helps vets return to civilian life by training them in agriculture.

Stillwater Clockwork Coffee Pure 10, $25 for a ten-serving pack
Don’t let the instant coffee label fool you — Stillwater’s Clockwork Coffee Pure 10 is produced from 100 percent Colombian beans. Each serving pairs just the right amount of caffeine with 10 mg of THC sans calories, fat, oils or sugar. How? The secret is the company’s patent-pending Ripple, water-soluble cannabinoids that enter the bloodstream via the tongue, soft tissue of the digestive tract and liver.

This oven wrapped in food-grade silicone heats up to two ounces to the optimum temperature while ensuring maximum retention of beneficial phytonutrients. Whether you make your cannabutter with their machine, or follow the best cannabutter recipe in America, activating the THC in herb doesn’t get any easier.
