Our team believes that finding the ideal product is essential. Our knowledgeable staff help you navigate every option so you can walk away with an informed decision every time.
What Exactly Are Cannabis Edibles?
Edibles are ingestible cannabis products that have been crafted with cannabis-derived compounds. Edibles are available in an impressive range of types — such as caramels, cookies, and infused beverages. The key difference between edibles and inhalation methods is the way your system absorbs the cannabinoids.
When you ingest an cannabis edible, the active compounds pass through your stomach and liver before entering your circulation. The liver converts THC into a stronger compound, which crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than vaped compounds. That transformation is why cannabis edibles deliver effects that are more intense and more sustained compared to other methods.
Grasping the timing is key with edibles. Different from vaping, which produces results within a few minutes, cannabis edibles typically need anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to produce noticeable effects. The lag time is one of the most important things new users should understand before dosing.
