A childhood classic elevated with cannabutter to make Aunt Karen's complaining sound like a distant babbling brook this holiday season. Eat the cookies on their own, or make decedent buttercream Whoopie Pies, because....why not!? Treat yourself this holiday season, it's been a year.
Kief is a very quick and easy way to cook with cannabis. Kief is the trichomes, or resign glands, that develop on the flower buds & sugar leaves of cannabis.

There are more than 100 confirmed cannabinoids - not just THC & CBD. We also are starting to see specific cannabinoids be isolated for particular health benefits.
