What are Edibles?

Edibles are food products that have been infused with cannabis or its active compounds, such as THC or CBD. These products come in many forms, such as baked goods, gummies, chocolates, and beverages. Eating edibles results in delayed onset and longer-lasting effects compared to smoking or vaping, as the active compounds in them are absorbed and processed by the liver. 

What are the Benefits of Cannabis Edibles?

There are a few benefits of edibles that people find useful. Edibles appeal to people for a number of reasons:

Longer-lasting effects
 The effects of edibles can last for several hours, which is longer than the effects of smoking or vaping.

Discreet consumption
Edibles can be consumed discreetly without producing smoke or a strong odour.

Controlled dosing
Edibles are usually sold in pre-dosed portions, which allows for more precise dosing and reduces the risk of overconsumption.

Versatile options
Edibles come in many different forms and flavours, which allows users to choose a product that fits their preferences.

Medicinal benefits
Edibles can be used for medicinal purposes, such as pain relief, anxiety reduction, and improving sleep quality.

Today, edibles are a popular alternative to smoking or vaping cannabis for many people, and the variety and potency of available products continues to expand.

What are the Best Kinds of Edibles in East York

Determining the best kind of edible is largely a matter of personal preference, as different individuals may prefer different flavours, textures, and effects. That being said, there are a few popular types of edibles that many people enjoy, and you can find any of the following goodies at either of our York locations: Broadview North or Oakwood Village.  

Baked Goods
Brownies, cookies, and other baked goods are a classic form of cannabis edibles that have been popular for decades. They are often easy to make and can be easily customized with different flavours and doses.

Gummies
Cannabis-infused gummies are a popular choice due to their convenience, portability, and variety of flavours. They are also a good option for those who prefer a more discreet method of consumption.

Chocolates
Cannabis-infused chocolates are a popular option for those with a sweet tooth. They are often available in a variety of flavours and dosages, and can provide a more decadent way to enjoy cannabis.

Beverages
Cannabis-infused beverages, such as tea, coffee, and sodas, are also gaining popularity in some markets. These are often marketed as a more socially acceptable way to consume cannabis, and can provide a more mild and calming effect compared to other edibles.

What Can I Expect to Feel When I Eat Edibles?

When taking edibles, you can expect to experience the effects of the active ingredient, THC, in a slower and more intense way than when smoking or vaping cannabis. The onset of the effects can take up to 2 hours, and the duration can last up to 8 hours or more. The effects can vary depending on the dosage, individual tolerance, and the specific edible product consumed. It’s important to start with a low dosage and be patient to avoid overconsumption and potential negative side effects.

Both of our dispensaries in Broadview North or Oakwood Village have varied dosages. Ask one of our budtenders for a recommendation for an edible that will be suitable for you. 

I Accidentally Ate Too Much Edibles – What Do I Do?

If you accidentally take too much of an edible, the most important thing to do is to remain calm and avoid panicking! Find a comfortable and safe place to relax and wait for the effects to wear off, which can take several hours. Put on one of your favourite playlists or comfort movies. If that doesn’t help; drinking water and eating foods that are high in CBD, like black pepper or dark chocolate, may also help alleviate some of the discomfort.
