Frequently asked questions
What is an edible?
It's a cannabis-infused food or drink, like a gummy or brownie, that you eat rather than smoke.
Why do edibles take so long to kick in?
Because the cannabis is digested and processed by the liver, the effects are delayed, often up to an hour or more, and last longer.
Are edibles stronger than smoking?
They can feel stronger and more body-heavy, and it's easy to overdo it, which is why the advice is to start low and go slow.
