For those using medical marijuana for the treatment of health conditions, or those in Denali who enjoy the use of legalized recreational cannabis, having options and choices in the use of different products is always a benefit.
There are several ways that cannabis can be consumed. While smoking marijuana is still the most popular option for most users, medical marijuana patients, or recreational users may also enjoy the option to consider cannabis edibles.
What Are Edibles?
As the name implies, cannabis edibles are food products that are made with cannabis, or sometimes with marijuana oils. There is a wide range of different products available from dispensaries, and these tend to include sweeter types of products.
Some of the most popular cannabis edibles include brownies and cookies that contain marijuana, but there are also hard candies, chocolates, granola bars, and sweet and salty types of snack mixes. In addition to hard candies, cannabis edibles can include gummies and jelly beans, as well as various flavors of fudge and chewy types of candies.
Consumption of Edibles
While there are no second-hand smoke concerns with the use of edibles, there are still laws in Denali and across the state about consumption. It is illegal to consume edibles in any public location, but they can be enjoyed in your home or any other non-public location.
It is important to understand that marijuana that is consumed does have a different effect on the body than when smoked. After consuming edibles, the effects of the THC take longer to develop, but they may also last significantly longer than when smoking.
This is critical to understand when consuming edibles to avoid eating over the recommended amount. Always read the information provided on the label and only use the recommended dosage until you are aware of how the edible impacts your body.
