FAQ - Edibles

Q1: What are edibles?
 Edibles are food products infused with cannabinoids, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol), extracted from cannabis plants. They provide an alternative way to consume cannabinoids compared to smoking or vaping.

Q3: How are edibles consumed?
 Edibles are ingested orally, just like regular food. They come in various forms, including cookies, gummies, chocolates, beverages, and more. After ingestion, the cannabinoids are absorbed through the digestive system, metabolized by the liver, and then enter the bloodstream.
Q4: How long does it take for edibles to take effect?
 The onset of effects from edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, or even longer, depending on factors like metabolism, the content of the edible, and individual tolerance. It's crucial to start with a low dose and wait patiently to avoid overconsumption.
Q5: How long do the effects of edibles last?
 The effects of edibles can last much longer than smoking or vaping, typically between 4 to 8 hours or even more, depending on the dose and individual factors.
