Choosing an Edible

When you think about weed, you probably imagine the buds on the actual plant. While smoking weed is one of the most common ways to consume it, it’s not for everyone. Edibles have grown in popularity, as they’re a great way for users to achieve a longer-lasting effect. There’s a range of edibles on the market, from gummies and cookies to drink options.

Whether or not you’ve tried an edible before, it’s important to remember that they aren’t a one-size-fits-all product. Some may include higher amounts of THC, while others may contain a mix of THC and CBD. If you’re interested in learning more, browse the following section to learn how to choose the right edible. 

What Kind of Effect Are You Looking to Get?

It’s important to understand what kind of outcome you’re hoping to achieve when selecting an edible. For those struggling with anxiety or chronic pain, a full-spectrum edible may be a good option, as it contains both CBD and THC. Indica strains will provide a more relaxed and sleepy high experience. For those looking to heighten their creativity, a sativa strain might be best.

What Type of Dosage Do You Want?

Everyone is different, meaning a 10mg edible may be too much or too little for some. It’s best to start with a lower dose to determine how it will affect you. When you’re choosing an edible, consult with the staff at your local weed dispensary for help with selecting the right dosage.

How Fast Do You Want It to Take Effect?

There’s a range of edibles to choose from, but some tend to work quicker than others. Cannabis drinks will take effect faster, as there’s nothing the body needs to break down. Chocolates may work quicker than gummies, as the THC gets absorbed into the oil.
