What Sets Halo Infusions Apart?
Aside from the wide range of delicious cannabis-infused goodies coming out of Halo Infusions, what really sets them apart from its competitors is its impressively large cannabis edibles kitchen. It’s a kitchen that is, in fact, the largest edibles kitchen in the state of Arizona at 7,000 square feet. This new edibles kitchen allows Halo Infusions to dedicate extensive amounts of time and money to developing more and more unique products. The brand also focuses on developing new formulas, validation testing, cannabis storage, widening its distribution network, and testing viable marketing strategies.
Bigger is always better, especially when it comes to making the best cannabis edibles on the market.
Halo Rising
In a 2023 article from Ganjapreneur, Halo Infusions’ highly capable leadership team details the long-term plans that the company achieved since its entry into the competitive world of the Arizona cannabis market. Cultivating a singular, cannabis-based business in Arizona requires a lot of faith, hard work, devotion, and perseverance, the likes of which very few other businesses must endure. There are only a small number of dispensary and cannabis cultivation licenses available at any given time through the state’s cannabis program. Without a license, it is difficult to establish a competitive, independent cannabis business.
However, Halo Infusions has never been deterred from realizing the company’s dream. In 2022, Halo Infusions sold off their retail and cultivation licenses for a whopping $30 million, which allowed them to refocus most of their energies on a singular goal. Halo Infusions CEO Murray Stein was quoted as saying, “Selling the licenses enabled us to focus on our first true love: infused products.” Halo Infusions has certainly made good on refocusing their love of infused products through the use of their enormous edibles kitchen, resulting in a number of competitive and affordable brands that have won the company many awards throughout their run.
Halo Infusions’ Wide Range of Tasty Products
Utilizing the power of the biggest edibles kitchen in the state of Arizona, Halo Infusions has developed a number of award-winning cookies, brownies, and other sweet confections that are all infused with cannabis and available for purchase at our Kind Meds dispensary in Mesa, Arizona.
Here are some of the uniquely developed cannabis edible treats that Halo Infusions has to offer:

Canine CBD Therapy
It is not fair that we get to indulge in cannabis-infused treats and therapies when our pets don’t get to indulge with us. Thankfully, Halo Infusions changed that with Canine CBD Therapy. These products are designed to help anxiety-afflicted dogs through the use of CBD oil and full spectrum hemp oil. They are specifically designed to make your furry friend feel better and improve your pet’s overall wellbeing.
Unlike other hemp products for dogs, Halo Infusions goes beyond the medical minimum to develop a healthy, therapeutic product that not only aids in calming dogs’ anxiety but promotes their general welfare with unique compounds that reinforce the dog’s health.
A Brief Note About Edibles
In today’s society and culture, there are so many different ways to experiment with cannabis. In particular, edibles are evolving into an industry all their own. Companies like Halo Infusions are finding ways to not only spotlight the effects of cannabis, but also to develop delicious treats that stand on their own. A lot of these confections actually mask the taste of cannabis, which is a selling point for customers who want to feel the effects of cannabis without dealing with its signature flavor.
If you’re new to cannabis edibles – especially the tasty varieties produced by Halo Infusions – it’s crucial to know what you’re getting into when you partake in these sweet treats.
Edibles have been proven to have longer-lasting effects than smoking flower or inhaling cannabis vapor. That’s because inhaling smoke or vapor introduces THC into your body through the lungs and directly into the bloodstream. Inhalation produces a high that can set in within a few minutes and last about an hour depending on the strength of the product.
By contrast, when you nosh on an infused brownie or gummy from Halo Infusions brands, the THC and CBD are introduced through the digestive system, since you are eating them like you would any other food product. Since these cannabinoids must process through your digestive system before passing into the bloodstream, the high can take up to two hours to fully set in. What’s more, when THC is metabolized by the body, it releases a THC byproduct known as 11-hydroxy-THC, which is also psychoactive. That means the high produced by your favorite cookie or cannabis-infused juice can last a good three hours and will potentially feel much stronger.
Edibles can be a great deal of fun and particularly delicious, especially the products from Halo Infusions. However, due to the way the body handles these products, it’s important to pace yourself and learn to understand how your body responds to edibles. Start slow and gauge the effects of a single dose – which Halo brands print right on the packaging – then wait a couple hours before redosing. As you explore the variety of delicious treats offered by Halo Infusions, you’ll get a sense of how much of each unique and tasty sweet you need to achieve your ideal effects.
