Usually when someone thinks of an edible they think of gummies. Gummies are indeed the most popular edible but certainly not the only type. Edibles come in many different forms–chocolates, chips, even noodles!
Edibles are a discreet, smokeless option that hit a little bit different than inhalable cannabis.
Edibles are made by incorporating an extract (usually a distillate, but sometimes hash or rosin). Distillate can tend to taste a little bitter if the recipe isn’t great (or sometimes skunky or green/chlorophyll). We try to choose edibles with the best taste (meaning the extract/cannabis taste is virtually undetectable).
Edibles are processed through your liver and are MUCH stronger than a joint or vape. The onset is usually 30-40 minutes and your dose really depends on you.
Edibles are limited to 10mg THC per package. Think of it as fun-size. These are usually split into 1-5 pieces. CBD or other cannabinoid edibles usually have more in the package. This is by design to prevent over consumption (especially because it takes about 30-45 minutes for your liver to process the cannabis).
For the uninitiated 10mg is a safe place to start. For consumers with a higher tolerance it is better to think of this as a single serving. You may need a couple servings to achieve your correct dose.
Start low, go slow.
For one, you at least know what you are getting. Unregulated edibles have no standards for packaging or testing and are not regulated by Health Canada. They can put anything they want on the package (including inflated or even made up THC content). Studies have shown unregulated edibles never contain the amount advertised. This is problematic because consumers think they need more than they can actually tolerate. For example, they think they need 1000mg when a true 50mg or less will do the trick. To gauge your true dose we recommend experimenting with 10mg capsules. We would bet dollars to donuts your tolerance is much less than 1000mg.
There are low sugar and sugar free edibles available. If you want a smokeless experience without all the calories check out the Drinks (lots of seltzer water and low and no calorie drinks) as well as Oils, Capsules + Sprays. Capsules in particular are easy to dose and extra discreet–they look like vitamin gelcaps.
Avoid disappointment, and just give them what they want!
