Edibles are delicious treats like candies, cookies, and seltzers, that are infused with cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Consuming cannabis-infused edibles often can give you a longer and stronger high than smoking.
Edible products can contain THC, which has psychoactive effects that produce a euphoric, high feeling, or CBD, which will help you relax without the head-in-the-clouds feeling.

In comparison to smoking, many edibles take a while to kick in — 30 minutes to two hours — but when they do, it’s a longer ride. However, some products use nanotechnology, which breaks down cannabinoids into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by your body more quickly. Edibles that use nano-emulsification can often be felt in 15 to 30 minutes.

Types of Edibles

Edible cannabis products come in a wide variety of types, flavors, consumption methods, and potencies, making a trip to the dispensary feel like a Willy Wonka adventure. The type of edible you choose can significantly impact your experience, so let’s break it down.

Remember, dosage is key, and some edibles are way more potent than others. If you’re a newbie, stick with the options closer to the top of the list.

Mints and Lozenges

Looking for a subtle buzz? Mints and lozenges are your go-to. These discreet candies are perfect for microdosing, with options as low as 1 mg per serving. They’re a great way to ease into the edible game or maintain a mellow high throughout the day.

Drinks

Quench your thirst and elevate your mood with THC-infused beverages! From sparkling seltzers to full-flavored spirits, there’s a drink for every taste. Dosages commonly range from 5 mg to 10 mg, though there are also high-potency options. Plus, they hit you faster than other edibles — in 10 to 30 minutes — since your body absorbs them quicker. This is because the THC is nano-emulsified, or broken down into tiny particles, before it is put into a liquid suspension. These tiny THC particles can be absorbed by your body more efficiently.

Nano-emulsification is essential to the drink production process because THC is naturally hydrophobic, meaning it doesn’t mix well with water. By breaking it down into smaller particles, THC can be suspended in water and evenly distributed throughout the drink.

Gummies

Gummies are the classic edible for a reason — they’re delicious! You can find ’em in every flavor imaginable, with THC, CBD, or a combo of both. These chewy delights usually come in doses from 5 mg to a whopping 50 mg or more.

Our Cruise Chews offer a chill vibe with 30 mg CBD and 3mg THC. For a stronger lift, check out our Space Chews with 10 mg THC. And for those who want to explore the world of kratom, our Kosmic Chews pack a punch with 25 mg kratom and 15mg THC. While a small dose of kratom acts as a stimulant, the higher dose in our chews give you that deep, relaxing feeling that, when paired with THC, gives you a one-of-a-kind vibe.

Chocolates

Indulge your sweet tooth with THC-infused chocolate. From creamy milk chocolate to rich dark varieties, there’s a flavor for every chocoholic. These treats typically contain 5 mg to 10 mg per serving, but some bars pack a serious punch with up to 200 mg. The fat content in chocolate can actually help your body absorb the THC better, so get ready for a smooth ride.

Cookies, Brownies, and Baked Goods

Baked goods are the OG edibles, commonly made with infusing your favorite treats with cannabis oil or butter. But beware: Ingesting these treats can be potent. A single cookie or brownie might contain a hefty dose of THC (100 mg cookies are common), so they’re best left to experienced edible explorers.

Baked goods contain a lot of different types of ingredients, which can be broken down at different rates. This means how quickly the high hits may be less predictable than other types of edibles. If you’re making your own edible treats at home, remember to calculate your dosage carefully!

What Is the Right Edible Dosage for You?

If you’re new to edibles, start with a humble 2.5 mg dose and give it a couple of hours to work its magic. It’s easy to get carried away, so pay attention to the serving size. A whole chocolate bar might be a bit much for your first rodeo. The worst thing you can do is underestimate the power of edibles, take more because it’s “not working,” and accidentally blast off into hyperspace.

Remember, everyone responds differently to edibles depending on their THC tolerance, what else they’ve consumed that day, their metabolism, and more. These are general guidelines, but make sure to listen to your individual needs.

• Beginner or infrequent user: Start with a low dose of 2.5 mg to 5 mg and see how you feel. Remember, you can always cut an edible in half and save the rest for later.
• Intermediate or regular user: If you’re feeling good at 5 mg and think you can handle more, try a 10 mg dosage. Depending on your tolerance and the desired effect, you may even enjoy edibles up to 20 mg.
• High-tolerance user: You do you. It may be time to explore the world of high-dosage edibles with 20+ mg or consume multiple pieces.

What Type of Cannabis Should You Choose?

So, you’re ready to dive into the world of edibles, but you’re wondering which vibe you’re chasing. You might see products labeled as indica, sativa, or hybrid (a cross between the two) at your local dispensary and think, what’s the difference?

• Indica is associated with feelings of calmness and relaxation.
• Sativa is associated with feeling uplifted, energized, and creative.
• Hybrid products make you feel relaxed with an uplifted mood.

Turns out, the whole indica-sativa thing is kinda like astrology — fun to talk about, but not super accurate. Scientists are now saying that the differences between these strains aren’t as clear-cut as we once thought. It’s more about the specific compounds in the plant, rather than some broad category.

Don’t sweat it too much, though. What really matters is how the weed makes you feel. Indica-leaning strains are often chill and relaxing, while sativa tends to be more upbeat and energetic. Hybrids are like the Goldilocks of cannabis — they find that sweet spot between the two.

Many brands will label their products with terms like “chill vibes” or “happy place” to help you pick the right one. And hey, if you’re still lost in the sauce, your budtender or your buddies over at Cheech and Chong can always point you in the right direction.

How Long Does It Take to Feel High?

Edibles aren’t like smoking a joint – they take their sweet time to kick in. Drinks are the speedy delivery service, getting you lifted in 10 to 30 minutes. Gummies, brownies, and other treats are more like a slow burn, taking 30 minutes to two hours to work their magic. If you wanna be on the cutting edge, some fancy new edibles, like our Cruise Chews, use nano-technology to speed things up, delivering a high in as little as 15 to 30 minutes.

How Long Does the High Last?

The high from cannabis edibles can be a marathon, not a sprint. Expect the effects to last anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, with the peak hitting around 2 to 4 hours after consumption. Remember, everyone’s body is different, so the duration can vary. Nano-emulsification makes the overall experience faster. For example, you can typically feel the onset of our Cruise Chews within 15 to 30 minutes and the overall experience lasts about 4 hours.

How Is Taking Edibles Different from Smoking?

Alright, let’s talk about the difference between smoking cannabis and eating your weed.

When you light up a joint, the THC hits you like a lightning bolt, usually within minutes. The high peaks around 30 minutes and then gradually fades over the next few hours.

Edibles, on the other hand, are a whole different ball game. They take a leisurely stroll through your digestive system before hitting your bloodstream, which means a delayed but often more intense high. It’s like the difference between instant coffee and a slow-brewed cup — both get you caffeinated, but the experience is totally different.

TL;DR: Edibles take longer to feel the effects of but are a more intense high.

Are Edibles Really Legal?

Let’s clear up the legal haze around edibles. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products with 0.3% of THC or less are legal on a federal level.

This may not seem like much, but remember, a gummy can be anywhere from 3-5 grams, or more. And a brownie is roughly 50-100 grams. So you can pack a very high dose of THC (9mg to 300mg) in the average edible and still be well below 0.3%.

Remember, each state has its own rules about cannabis, so check your local laws before you start munching. The good news is that we can ship our THC gummies and THC drinks to every state but Idaho (sorry, man).

How to Store Your Edibles

Keeping your edibles fresh is key to a top-tier experience. Store them in a cool, dry place, like a pantry or fridge to prevent melting. Gummies and candies can usually hang out for about a year, but baked goods might start to go stale after a few weeks.
