When we started Americans for Access, we were facing paramilitary style raids from the DEA, only 8 states had passed laws creating criminal exemptions for medical cannabis patients, the DEA was still saying that cannabis was a gateway drug and there was no legal access anywhere!

AVB edibles: top 5 recipes for already vaped bud

The Cannigma

AVB is leftover weed that’s been used in a dry herb vaporizer. AVB is short for already vaped bud, although you may also know it as “already been vaped” (ABV) cannabis.

While this vapor gets you high by heating the cannabinoids and terpenes, it doesn’t destroy them like smoking does.
