What the Cannabis Edibles Category Covers
At its heart, the cannabis edibles category encompasses any ingestible product that has been infused with cannabis — typically THC, CBD, or a ratio of both. Instead of going through inhalation, the active compounds in edibles travel through the digestive system, which delivers an effect that is often longer-lasting than inhaled cannabis.
Cannabis edibles are appropriate for a wide range of consumers. Recreational users appreciate the smoke-free format and ease of dosing that edibles offer. People looking for a prolonged and calming experience often choose edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is broad enough to accommodate both first-time cannabis consumers and frequent cannabis users.
It is important to understand that cannabis edibles produce variable results depending on the individual. Factors like individual metabolism, tolerance, and body chemistry play a role in determining how an edible hits. That is why our knowledgeable staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational makes it a priority to walk shoppers through their options before they decide what to try.
