What Is Edible Cannabis?


Edible cannabis products (edibles for short) are products containing cannabinoids that you eat or

drink. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis that can affect your mind and body

when consumed. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a cannabinoid that makes an individual euphoric

and intoxicated (or high).



CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that might have some

therapeutic benefit, although more research is needed to confirm its potential medical use. There is

a wide range of edible cannabis products. Although some edible cannabis products might look like

normal food items, they are not food and are not intended to provide any nutritional value.

Edible cannabis products provide an alternative method of cannabis consumption to smoking and

vaping. If you are interested in trying edible cannabis, here are seven things you need to know.



1. Be Sure to Read the Label Carefully.



Edible cannabis products vary widely in their appearance and ingredients, including how much THC

and CBD they contain. Always read the label before ingesting edible cannabis. If you have never tried

an edible before or are new to cannabis, consume no more than 2.5 mg of THC and wait to feel

effects before taking more. It might also be worth doing a bit of homework to learn how THC and CBD

affect your brain and body, and how these effects differ between inhalation and ingestion of

cannabis. Keep in mind that some edible cannabis products might have expiry dates and ingredients

that could cause allergic reactions.



2. The Effects of Ingesting Cannabis Last Longer than Inhaling

Cannabis.



It takes a long time for your body to absorb the THC from edible cannabis and so the THC is present

in your body for longer than after smoking or vaping cannabis. The effects of ingesting cannabis last

longer compared to when cannabis is smoked or vaped. The effects can last up to 12 hours, with

residual effects lasting up to 24 hours. If you are new to edibles or to cannabis, use these products

in a place where you feel safe and comfortable, and with friends or family who are experienced in

using them. If you plan to use edible cannabis at a friend or family members home, make travel

arrangements ahead of time or plan to stay over. Do not drive or operate heavy equipment after

using cannabis.
