LEARN ABOUT CANNABIS

Cannabis Edibles

Cannabis edibles are food or beverage products infused with cannabinoids, typically THC or CBD, derived from the cannabis plant.

Traditionally, cannabis has been consumed through smoking or inhalation. Cannabis edibles come in various forms such as cookies, brownies, gummies, candies, chocolates, and beverages.

Cookies and brownies are the most popular edibles in the cannabis edible industry. In addition to baked goods like cookies and brownies, other options like muffins and pancakes have also emerged, showing advancements in the baked goods sector.

Cannabis edibles in the form of gummies or candies retain the taste of the candy itself while allowing the ingestion of cannabinoids. They are absorbed through the inner cheek or the surface of the tongue, resulting in faster effects compared to digested cannabis edibles.

One of the advantages of cannabis edibles is their longer-lasting effects compared to inhalation methods. Cannabinoids are metabolized in the digestive system, leading to slower onset and potentially lasting for several hours. This makes them suitable for individuals seeking sustained relief from pain, anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions.

Furthermore, cannabis contains multiple nutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin C, iron, and abundant dietary fiber. Cannabis edibles could potentially assist individuals whose daily dietary intake may be lacking in certain nutrients.

However, it is crucial to consume edibles responsibly and start with low doses, allowing sufficient time for the effects to manifest. Proper labeling and dosing instructions for edibles are important for ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for those who choose to consume them.
