What Cannabis Edibles Involves

At its foundation, the cannabis edibles category encompasses any consumable item that has been infused with cannabis — most often THC, CBD, or a blend of both. Instead of being inhaled, the active cannabinoids in edibles pass through the digestive system, which creates an effect that is often longer-lasting than combusted cannabis.

Cannabis edibles suit a broad spectrum of consumers. Casual cannabis consumers love the approachable nature and variety that edibles provide. People looking for a longer, more body-focused experience often choose edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is broad enough to accommodate both first-time cannabis consumers and highly experienced cannabis enthusiasts.

It is worth noting to understand that cannabis edibles affect everyone differently. Factors like what you've eaten, your tolerance level, and your body type can all affect how an edible hits. That is why our trained staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational takes the time to guide customers through their options before they choose a product.
