How To Buy Them and Take Them
Embark on a flavorful journey and experience cannabis in a whole new light.
What are edibles?
Edibles are food or beverage products infused with cannabis extracts, typically containing THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. These products are consumed orally, offering an alternative method of consumption compared to smoking or vaping.
They come in various forms. You’ll find gummies at the dispensary such as gummies, chocolates, baked goods, beverages, and more. Edibles provide a discreet and convenient way to consume cannabis, with effects typically taking longer to onset but lasting longer compared to inhalation methods.
What are the benefits of cannabis edibles?
Discretion
This is one of the key advantages of cannabis edibles. Unlike smoking or vaping, which has a telltale smell and can draw attention, edibles resemble regular food or beverages (soon to come in New Jersey), making them ideal for situations where discretion is required.
No smoking
Edibles provide a smoke-free alternative to consumption for those who prefer to avoid smoking. This makes them accessible to a broader audience.
Precise dosing
Edibles provide consumers with more precise control over their cannabis intake. Each serving of a licensed edible product is clearly labeled with the exact dose of THC and other cannabinoids. This is especially beneficial for those seeking a consistent and predictable experience.
Long-lasting effects
Edibles provide a more gradual onset of effects compared to inhalation methods like smoking or vaping, and these effects last notably longer than these methods, too. This sustained release provides for longer-lasting effects and relief.
Convenience
Edibles are convenient and portable, allowing you to enjoy cannabis discreetly and on the go. They’re easy to store and transport, making them ideal for travel or outdoor activities when smoking may not be practical.
You’ll find a wide variety of options in the diverse world of cannabis edibles. Here are some common types of edibles available on the NJ market:
- Gummies: Cannabis-infused gummies are one of the most popular types of edibles. They come in various shapes, flavors, and potency levels, offering a convenient and enjoyable way to consume discreetly. You may have heard these called “soft lozenges,” which is what they used to be called in New Jersey’s cannabis program.
- Chocolates (coming soon): Cannabis-infused chocolates are another favorite among consumers. These traits come in various forms, like bars, truffles, and bites, and offer a delicious way to consume. They’re soon to come to dispensary shelves like High Street!
- Tablets: Infused pills or drops, such as those from brands like 1906, provide a convenient and precise dosing method. These products are discreet and ideal for on-the-go use or for those seeking a tasteless option.
- Beverages (coming soon): Cannabis-infused beverages are an exciting emerging category in the edibles market. These include sodas, seltzers, and more, offering a refreshing and convenient way to enjoy cannabis without the need for smoking or vaping.
- Start low and slow: The cardinal rule when trying edibles is to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed. Edibles can have a delayed onset of effects (ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours), and the potency can vary widely between products. Begin with a small dose, and wait at least 2 hours before trying more.
- Be patient: Edibles take longer to kick in than other forms of consumption. It’s essential to take your time and resist the urge to consume more if you don’t feel the effects immediately.
- Stay hydrated and well-nourished: Consuming edibles on an empty stomach can intensify the effects – and not necessarily in a good way. Consider eating a light meal and staying hydrated to mitigate this.
- Monitor dosage and effects: Pay close attention to the dose you consume and how you feel after. Keep track of the time elapsed since consumption and any effects experienced, including onset time, intensity, and duration.
