One of the greatest parts about using medical marijuana is that you are not tied to one method of consuming it. When most people think of using cannabis, their mind probably wonders about the idea of smokable marijuana that has become so common and popular. However, this is not the extent of what you can do with cannabis today.
In fact, with medical marijuana being more accessible in the United States than it ever has been before, there has never been such a wide variety of products available to recreational consumers and medical patients alike. If you are someone who is wanting to learn more about the marijuana industry in the United States but are not quite sure where to start, my suggestion to you would be edibles. Edibles have been a known cannabis product for quite some time, but the newer edibles that one might fight on a dispensary shelf today look much different than your stereotypical ‘pot brownie’ and other old-fashioned edibles.
THC and CBD-infused edibles have become very safe, affordable, and diverse in our modern cannabis market. Today I am writing this article as a beginner’s guide to cannabis edibles so that you can know everything you need to in order to get started yourself. I hope that you find this article helpful and inspiring. Make sure to keep reading to figure out what you need to know about all things related to weed and marijuana edibles.

One of the reasons that people have come to love edibles so much is because of their portability and their discreteness. You can throw a bag of THC gummies in your backpack or purse and pop one in your mouth without anyone ever noticing. That is much different than having to go to the bathroom to light up a joint and smoke weed. However, some people are concerned that, when they open up a bag of edibles in a public setting, they might cause the whole room to smell like weed. While I completely understand someone having this fear, it is important to note that this would probably not happen. Most of the edibles like gummies, lozenges, gums do not have a strong cannabis scent. If you get into the super high quality edibles, you can find some that do not smell great but also don’t even taste like weed. Some lower quality edibles products may have a weed type taste to them, but hey, you get what you pay for I suppose. One thing to keep in mind is that, depending on the type of cannabis edible you use, you may have some weed smell on your breath that others can detect. In order to prevent this, make sure you have mints or gum to follow up with cannabis infused gummy with.

Another common question that people wonder about using edibles is the time it takes to feel it’s effects, and how long it lasts. If you are used to smoking cannabis, then you may be a bit disappointed the first time you try edibles. Smokable cannabis often catives right away, within the first few minutes of smoking it. However, edibles can take much longer to actually kick in. Like anything else dealing with marijuana strains and products, the effects differ depending on the type of edible you take. In most cases, it will take an average of 30 to 45 minutes before you actually feel the effect of the edible. If you are wanting to speed up this process, one thing that you can do is eat some fatty foods about 5 to 10 minutes after consuming a THC-infused edible, since some experts are saying that this helps in absorbing the chemicals more quickly.
