How to Choose and Buy Cannabis Edibles Like A Pro
Most weed smokers do not associate edibles with a fun experience. That is because edibles have a wide range of dosages, and in the past, nobody told users how much they should take. This is not the case today. Since the legalization and monetization of marijuana and its related products, there are rules that sellers must follow, including telling you how much and what dosage to take.
Despite the horror stories you will hear, it’s much safer today to indulge in cannabis edibles. However, you must know how to choose well, which begins with getting all the necessary information. First, you should know the four main categories of edibles.
•Pure CBD
•Sativa only
•Indica only
•Hybrid (sativa and Indica)
Sativa or Indica
Sativa and Indica are 2 of the most popular strains of cannabis edibles. Sativa provides you more of a head high, while Indica gives you a body high. When you eat Sativa edibles, you will be high but still functional and energetic. When you consume Indica edibles, you will be more relaxed and probably end up in bed or asleep on the couch. An edible with the two combined strains might give you the best of both worlds if the dosage is correct.
Pure CBD
As a weed user, you know that the flower contains CBD and THC. THC is the psychoactive product in marijuana, meaning it’s the compound that gets you high. With CBD, you will enjoy all the other benefits of marijuana without getting high. Most people, especially those who use cannabis edibles for medical reasons, prefer products with pure CBD.
For other people, it’s the fear of edibles powered by unpleasant past experiences that make them choose CBD edibles. Even before weed was legalized, CBD products were widely available, making them popular among marijuana users.
To make or to buy?
Buying edibles is much easier than making your own, especially if you’re a newbie. No matter what you choose, you must know how much you should buy. Keep in mind eating weed is significantly different from smoking it. One gummy bear can give you the effect you want. All you need is a little patience. You should also know that edibles have an expiry date, and depending on the type you choose, you can’t always store them for too long.
If you plan to cook your edibles, it’s essential to get the dosage right. This will depend on the type of user you are and your tolerance level. It’s advisable to find a simple recipe and stick to it. Keep in mind that different edibles taste different depending on the strain you use and how much marijuana you put in the product.
Whether you make or buy edibles, it’s important not to overdose. Most of the bad stories you hear are mainly because of overdosing. You will not get high immediately after eating an edible, so don’t eat more to hasten the process. The delayed response of edibles is due to the consumption method, so practice a little patience and enjoy the ride.
