What You Should Understand About Cannabis Edibles
At its core, the cannabis edibles category refers to any food or beverage product that has been infused with cannabis — typically THC, CBD, or a combination of both. Instead of going through inhalation, the active compounds in edibles are processed by the digestive system, which produces an effect that is frequently more prolonged than smoked or vaped cannabis.
Cannabis edibles work well for a wide range of consumers. Recreational users appreciate the approachable nature and variety that edibles offer. Those who prefer a extended, more relaxing experience often favor edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is broad enough to work for both complete beginners and highly experienced cannabis consumers.

Factors like what you've eaten, your tolerance level, and your body type play a role in determining how an edible hits. That is why our knowledgeable staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational takes the time to walk shoppers through their options before they choose a product.
