Understanding Edibles:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Edibles are food items infused with cannabis, offering an alternative to smoking or vaping. Unlike inhaled cannabis, edibles are processed through the digestive system, leading to a different onset and duration of effects. This unique process, as discussed in our detailed article on edible dosing<\/a>, explains why edibles often result in a more intense and longer-lasting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with Dosing:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For beginners, dosing is the key to a positive edible experience. It’s crucial to start with a low dose and go slow. As recommended in our guide for new edible users<\/a>, starting with a dose as low as 2.5 to 5 milligrams of THC can help gauge your tolerance and avoid discomfort. Remember, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for effects to kick in, so patience is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Edibles:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world of edibles is diverse, ranging from gummies and chocolates<\/a> to baked goods and beverages. Each type offers a different taste and experience. Whether you prefer the discreetness of a gummy or the indulgence of a chocolate bar, there\u2019s an edible for every preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
