The Ultimate Guide to Cannabis Edibles

Edibles are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to use cannabis in the United States, right behind actually smoking it. One of the reasons that edibles are becoming so popular is because of medical marijuana. Did you know that almost 40 states in the United States have legalized medical marijuana programs for patients with qualifying conditions? Though smokable cannabis is probably the most popular form of marijuana ingestion for recreational marijuana users, medical marijuana patients do not always like to smoke their cannabis. One reason for this is because of the stigma that remains present about people who smoke weed. For a long time, America has held a stigma that people who smoke cannabis are lazy criminals.



Some medical marijuana patients grew up with this stigma in their life, and therefore do not want to smoke cannabis in the same way. Plus, smoking cannabis can have some negative health effects for medical patients with underlying health conditions. People with respiratory issues like asthma or emphysema are usually told to not smoke cannabis due to the health risks that are associated with it. These are some of the reasons that cannabis edibles have grown in popularity to the cannabis community. Plus, there are a huge variety of edible cannabis products in a variety of strains. Whether you are rocking with OG Kush or Granddaddy Purple, there is something for everyone!



So what are cannabis edibles and how do they work? Well, an edible is basically any sort of food item that has been infused with a certain amount of cannabis oil. Contrary to popular belief, edibles are not just cannabis products that get you high. You can find cannabis edibles with THC, CBD, or a combination of the two! For medical marijuana patients who regularly use cannabis for THC or CBD ingestion, edibles can be a huge help. Some important things to keep in mind about cannabis edibles is that they can take a lot more time to take effect compared to smoking weed, and the effects of edibles can last a lot longer too. This is why it is highly recommended that you do your research about certain marijuana edibles before you go ahead and just pop them in your mouth. You could end up biting off a lot more than you can chew (pun intended)! Anyways, there are tons of different types of edibles out there that you can choose frim.



They are super convenient and also discreet, since you don’t have to worry about the smell of weed smoke sticking to your clothes and your hair. You can even pop edibles in public if you like, but make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into so you don’t end up falling on the bathroom floor of a Wendy’s. What types of edibles are available? Well, if you have ever been to a marijuana dispensary, you will probably have seen a huge selection of edible cannabis products available to you. Any sort of baked goods, candy, mintz, and cookies are things that you can find with cannabis. Also, some dispensaries sell cannabis-infused beverages, if you are wanting to use an edible but in beverage form! You can really find any type of product available if you look hard enough, and ebiles do not have to be limited to one type of product or strain. When it comes to taking edibles, there is not much to talk about other than you just eat like you would any other food. However, instead of eating edibles like you would any other pack of candy, you want to be very careful with how many edibles you take.
