Frequently asked questions
What are edibles?
Edibles are foods or beverages infused with cannabis, which produce a delayed but longer-lasting high compared to smoking.
Why do edibles take longer to kick in?
Because the cannabis is digested and processed by the liver rather than absorbed through the lungs, the effects come on more slowly, often after an hour or more.
Why do people say to go slow with edibles?
The delayed onset can lead people to take more before the first dose hits, resulting in an unexpectedly strong effect.
