Magnolia Bakery is now selling weed edibles, in flavors of some of the bakery’s most popular flavors — such as banana pudding and red velvet cake. The catch? As Gothamist reports, none of the THC-based desserts will be available at all eight of the city’s Magnolia Bakery. The edibles, which launched this week, are a collaboration with the cannabis brand Green Thumb Industries, and currently are only able to sell them to dispensaries in Illinois, Nevada, and Massachusetts, according to the publication. Eli Weiner, the brand manager of Incredibles, the edibles subsidiary of Green Thumb, says there are no plans to currently sell the Magnolia Bakery edibles in New York.
