The holiday season is in full swing at a moment when cannabis reform is at an all-time high.

As California moves towards its sophomore year of legalizing and regulating adult use, more products than ever are available in both recreational and medical form. Whether your loved ones are looking for THC, CBD, or a combination of both, there’s a veritable cornucopia of edibles, topicals, pre-rolls and flowers to satisfy any preference.

But searching for the right gift may prove more daunting as the industry continues to expand. No need to worry, however, as we’ve provided a comprehensive list of our favorite cannabis brands and their specific products for your convenience. Many of these brands will also join mainstream commerce in offering considerable deals for Cyber Monday.

To add even more to your convenience, there won’t be any need to leave the house, as all products can be delivered to your door thanks to the good folks at bud.com and the Hemp Shop.

Kiva Confections

Tokes

Despite the growing amount of high-tech methods to consume cannabis, nothing beats good old-fashioned joint. The people behind Tokes take the busy work out of rolling your own by offering packs of 12 pre-rolls containing go-to strains like Gorilla Glue and White Tahoe. Look out for discounts on certain strains this Monday, bringing them to $35 per pack.

Papa & Barkley

The market for CBD is flooding rapidly, leaving a handful of trustworthy brands in its wake. Papa & Barkley is one of those select few brands providing pure, clean hemp oils.
