4/20 is fast approaching, and the cannabis community is looking forward to celebrating with edibles that are as much about bold, interesting flavor as they are about the experience—and the Gelato Canna x Fat & Weird Cookies collab is a first-of-its-kind collaboration that unites a mainstream non-cannabis brand and a cannabis company in the edibles space.
Fat & Weird Cookies is supplying its signature cookies to Gelato Canna so that they can be infused with THC and packaged with co-branded labeling like "Fat & Weird by Gelato" and "Powered by Gelato." The first drop coming to licensed cannabis stores throughout Michigan will introduce adults to five signature flavors, with each infused cookie containing 200mg of THC for sharing or enjoying in multiple servings.
