What the Cannabis Edibles Category Covers

At its heart, the cannabis edibles category refers to any ingestible product that has been infused with cannabis — usually 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 inhaled cannabis.

Cannabis edibles work well for a diverse set of consumers. Casual cannabis consumers appreciate the approachable nature and variety that edibles bring. Those who prefer a extended, more relaxing experience often gravitate toward edibles over inhalation options. The category is broad enough to accommodate both people new to THC and highly experienced cannabis consumers.

It is helpful to understand that cannabis edibles produce variable results depending on the individual. Factors like what you've eaten, your tolerance level, and your body type can all affect how an edible hits. That is why our experienced staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational is always ready to guide customers through the selection before they choose a product.
