Cannabis sugar allows edibles chefs to sweeten any dish with a dash of THC — and sugar — without needing to add an infused fat like cannabutter or cannabis oil. But what is canna sugar?

11-Hydroxy-THC: The metabolite that makes edibles hit harder

Interestingly, this chemical is created in your own body when one of cannabis’ main ingredients, THC, is metabolized.
