Edibles explained
Edibles are cannabis products eaten or swallowed, such as gummies, chocolates, drinks, capsules, and baked goods. They usually take longer to start but can last much longer than inhaled cannabis.
Why edibles feel different
When THC is eaten, the body processes it differently than inhaled THC. Effects may take 30 minutes to 2 hours or longer to fully show up, depending on the person, food, product, and dose. Taking more too soon is one of the most common beginner mistakes.
