What You Should Understand About Cannabis Edibles

At its heart, the cannabis edibles category covers any food or beverage product that has been infused with cannabis — usually THC, CBD, or a combination of both. Instead of being inhaled, the active compounds in edibles pass through the digestive system, which produces an effect that is often read more longer-lasting than inhaled cannabis.

Cannabis edibles work well for a diverse set of consumers. Recreational users value the approachable nature and variety that edibles bring. Consumers who want a prolonged and calming experience often favor edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is diverse enough to serve both first-time cannabis consumers and highly experienced cannabis users.

It is important to understand that cannabis edibles affect everyone differently. Factors like body weight, metabolism, and prior cannabis experience all influence how an edible hits. That is why our knowledgeable staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational makes it a priority to guide customers through the selection before they decide what to try.

Cannabis Edibles FAQ

These are the most common cannabis edibles questions our customers bring to us:

How long do cannabis edibles take to start working?

Cannabis edibles generally take between 45 minutes and 2 hours to begin working. The time to onset depends on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently. We strongly recommend waiting at least 90 minutes before taking additional product.

How much do cannabis edibles typically run at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational?

Cost depends on the format, brand, and cannabinoid content. Entry-level edibles like single-serve gummies or candies can start as low as around ten dollars or less, while higher-end boxes, artisan products, or multi-serving packages can run between $20 and $60. Our budtenders can share up-to-date price information.

What is the difference between THC edibles and CBD edibles?

THC edibles include the psychoactive compound THC, which is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis. CBD edibles are made with CBD and typically won't cause a intoxicating effect. Some edibles contain both THC and CBD — often called 1:1 edibles — which many shoppers prefer because they provide a tempered experience with the benefits of both.

Our staff consistently advises choosing a microdose product for your first experience and being patient with onset before deciding whether to consume more. Our team at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational is always on hand to help first-timers choose the right product.

How long do the effects of cannabis edibles typically continue?
