Sales of edible marijuana are sky high.

Managers of dispensaries said they saw an increase in orders for weed gummies and other edibles from new consumers in March, many of whom were working from home and dealing with the stresses of the coronavirus.

Edibles, as opposed to smoking or vaping, are more discreet, they say. Also, consumers may not want to share cannabis in the same way they used to, because of transmission fears.

More than a dozen states declared cannabis stores and medical marijuana dispensaries essential businesses during the pandemic, along with pharmacies and grocery stores.
