What Cannabis Edibles Involves

At its foundation, the cannabis edibles category refers to any ingestible product that has been made using cannabis — usually THC, CBD, or a combination of both. Instead of entering the body through the lungs, the active ingredients in edibles are processed by the digestive system, which delivers an effect that is frequently more prolonged than combusted cannabis.

Cannabis edibles work well for a broad spectrum of consumers. Casual cannabis consumers value the convenience and discretion that edibles offer. Those who prefer a longer, more body-focused experience often gravitate toward edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is diverse enough to accommodate both first-time cannabis consumers and frequent cannabis consumers.

It is helpful to understand that cannabis edibles affect everyone differently. Factors like what you've eaten, your tolerance level, and your body type play a role in determining how an edible works for you. That is why our experienced staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational makes it a priority to guide customers through the available products before they decide what to try.

How long do cannabis edibles take to start working?

Cannabis edibles generally take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take full effect. Onset time varies based on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently. We strongly recommend waiting at least 90 minutes before taking additional product.
