Cannabis or CBD Edibles

Cannabis edibles are food or drink products that contain cannabinoids, which are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. The most well-known cannabinoid is THC, which is psychoactive and responsible for the "high" feeling. However, edibles can also contain CBD (cannabidiol), which does not produce a high but has other potential benefits.

Types of Edibles:

• THC edibles: These contain THC and will produce a psychoactive effect.

Key Points about THC Edibles

Delayed onset: Unlike smoking or vaping, the effects of THC edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in.   

Potency: Edibles can be very potent, and it's easy to consume too much. This is often referred to as "greening out."   

Duration: The effects of THC edibles can last longer than those from smoking or vaping.   

Variety: THC edibles come in a wide range of forms, including:

Gummies   

Chocolate

Baked goods (cookies, brownies, etc.)   

Beverages

Important: Always start with a low dose and wait several hours before consuming more. It's crucial to be patient and mindful of the delayed onset.   

• CBD edibles: These contain CBD and are generally non-psychoactive.

Key Points about CBD Edibles

Non-psychoactive: CBD is known for its potential therapeutic properties without the "high" associated with THC.   

Variety: Like THC edibles, CBD edibles come in a wide range of forms, including gummies, chocolates, and baked goods.   

Potential benefits: Some people use CBD for relaxation, pain relief, and anxiety management. However, it's important to note that research on CBD is still ongoing.   

Important: While CBD is generally considered safe, it can interact with certain medications. Consult with a healthcare professional before using CBD products.   

• Mixed edibles: These contain both THC and CBD.

Key Points about Mixed Edibles

Balanced effects: The combination of THC and CBD can potentially mitigate some of the unwanted side effects of THC, such as anxiety or paranoia, while still providing the desired relaxation or pain relief.   

Variety of ratios: Mixed edibles come in different THC-to-CBD ratios, allowing users to customize their experience. Common ratios include 1:1 (equal parts THC and CBD), 2:1 (twice as much CBD as THC), and others.   

Potential benefits: Some people find that the combination of THC and CBD offers a more well-rounded experience, with potential benefits for pain management, mood enhancement, and relaxation.

Important: As with all edibles, it's crucial to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed. The effects of mixed edibles can vary depending on the individual, so it's essential to listen to your body and adjust accordingly.   

How They Work

Unlike smoking or vaping cannabis, the effects of edibles take longer to kick in (usually 30 minutes to 2 hours) and can last longer. This is because the cannabinoids are metabolized by the liver before entering the bloodstream.

Important Considerations

• Potency: Edibles can be very potent, and it's easy to consume too much. Always start with a low dose and wait several hours before consuming more.

• Legality: The legality of cannabis and CBD edibles varies by location. Check your local laws before consuming or purchasing.

• Safety: Edibles should be stored out of reach of children and pets.
