Organic and vegan edibles are popular items for health-conscious cannabis enthusiasts wanting an accessible, tasty way to enjoy cannabis. With organic edibles, consumers can feel more comfortable knowing that they choose to purchase an all-natural product with cannabis that was grown with care and sustainable practices.
It’s a hot topic for a reason; anyone who does a bit of research on synthetic pesticides will discover that cannabis growers have access to over 350 types of compounds. With the plant’s federally illegal status, researchers have not conducted any studies on how cannabis pesticides affect the human body. (1) “Organic” is therefore more than just a fancy label- it indicates that the product meets high-quality safety standards.
Vegan edibles are another niche category of products that allow vegans to experience the full benefits cannabis has to offer. With these products, manufacturers take care to refrain from using animal-derived dyes, gelatin, eggs, milk, and honey. Still, with plant-based alternatives, they can create the same delicious flavors as their non-vegan counterparts. They are few and far between, so finding the perfect edible can be a challenge for someone who wants to follow this particular diet.

The Health Benefits of Vegan and Organic Foods
Veganism is not just a fad diet; it has truly taken over as a way for many individuals who want to lead a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. Studies show that a low-fat, vegan diet can help type 2 diabetics gain better control of blood sugar levels. Not only that, but long-term benefits can allow diabetic individuals to reduce their intake of medications to manage their condition. With the lower-calorie and lower-fat foods of the vegan diet, many can also achieve significant weight loss, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. (3) To reap the full benefits of this diet, individuals must make sure that they get an adequate amount of protein, omega fatty acids, selenium, iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamin D and B12.
The benefits of organic foods extend way beyond the world of cannabis. Some studies have reported that pesticides negatively affect children’s cognitive development and raise their risk of developing certain food allergies. Organically grown fruits and vegetables have been shown to have more phenolic compounds, a type of biologically active compound found in plants. (4) These compounds have antioxidant properties, helping support cellular health and combat the various effects of aging.
What Are Organic Edibles?
Organic edibles are created with organic standards in mind: without the use of synthetic pesticides. Research shows that many edible cannabis products contain pesticides, heavy metals, and mycotoxins (toxins produced by fungi) above the established legal limit, prompting many consumers today to actively search for organic options. (2) Luckily, many cannabis products follow the same standards as USDA-certified farms with their own organizations that help manufacturers and cultivators produce safer products.
Clean Green Certification indicates a product’s cannabis was grown sustainably and organically. Clean Green is essentially the equivalent of the USDA’s organic certification. The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) updates its reviewed and approved product list to help cultivators keep up with the latest organic practices. Many natural pesticides and fertilizers may have the OMRI seal of approval. Some of the most popular natural pesticides for cannabis that classify as organic include:
- Rosemary
- Garlic
- Spearmint
- Neem Seed Oil
- Chrysanthemum Plant Spray
- Nematodes
Other commonly used ingredients in organic cannabis products, like honey, chocolate, butter, cane sugar, and tapioca syrup are all subjected to standard USDA evaluation since there are no legal limitations.

What are Vegan Edibles?

Those with dairy and gelatin sensitivities may seek out vegan options to avoid certain stomach issues, and dedicated vegans can enjoy their favorite strains without compromising on their dietary commitment. Some vegan ingredient substitutes include:
- Applesauce and coconut oil instead of butter
- Soy and almond milk instead of cow’s milk
- Cornstarch and agar instead of gelatin
