Powerful & Effective Marijuana Edibles

Today marks a historic day for cannabis as Canada becomes the first G7 country to federally legalize the plant. The industry is booming as the chains come off, and Canadians are experiencing the benefits of marijuana for the first time. One of the fastest growing sectors of the cannabis craze is cannabis edibles. What are “edibles” you might ask? Well, what you get when you take your favorite foods – be it candies, cookies, pizza or smoothies – and combine them with the health benefits & sheer fun of cannabis? You get a happier, healthier, tastier life!

In today’s world of cannabis, there are many ways to enjoy this unique plant. You can choose to smoke traditional joints, pipes, and bongs, or you can choose to try other, more innovative ways of using cannabis. Concentrates, extracts, vaporizers, distillates, topicals, edibles, and supplements – there are many different ways to enjoy cannabis, and it’s easy to find what works best for you by trying different products. If variety is the spice of life, then cannabis is the most flavorful herb out there!

Thanks for being interested in cannabis. It’s legal now, so there’s no need to worry about getting started. We recommend starting with edibles, which are a great way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without feeling overwhelmed. There are many types of edibles to choose from, and you can find them at any store or online. Just relax and enjoy the journey!

What Is An Edible & What Kind of Edibles Are There?

There are limitless ways to enjoy cannabis products in edible form, as long as you have some imagination and creativity. Experiment with different food and cannabis combinations to find what works best for you. Most of us are familiar with some of the most popular edible cannabis products, like weed candies, pot brownies, lollipots, and cannachocolate, but there are hundreds of other delicious and unique options out there.

Marijuana edibles are a better, healthier way to consume cannabis than smoking it. They eliminate the exposure to carbon, tar, and carcinogens, and take about an hour to kick in. People tend to prefer edibles because they are easier and more discreet than smoking, and the effects last longer.

Many people have different experiences with consuming cannabis edibles, depending on many different factors.

Edibles can have a wide range of potency, so it’s important to start with a low dose to avoid being overwhelmed. Even experienced smokers can be surprised by the strength of edibles. And remember to take your time when enjoying them, as body chemistry can vary from person to person.

Edible marijuana is a much different experience than smoking. First time users can easily overdo it and end up with too much THC, and smoking cannabis results in an almost immediate high. Edible marijuana takes longer to work, with effects typically kicking in around 1 hour after consumption. This gives you a gradual high with long-lasting effects that can last up to 6 hours.

Top 10 Most Effective Cannabis Edibles

Eating plants can have many benefits, including reducing inflammation and pain, providing many vitamins and minerals, and being a good source of antioxidants. Eating plants instead of smoking or consuming cannabis in processed forms helps to avoid some of the psychoactive effects associated with THC and other cannabinoids. THCA and CBDA, which are present in the plant in its natural state, have been shown to have similar anti-inflammatory and pain-fighting properties. Cannabis also contains a lot of fiber, iron, folates, calcium, magnesium, and other vitamins, making it a good choice for those looking for an antioxidant-rich food.

10. RAW CANNABIS: LEAVES, FLOWERS & ALL

There are many ways to enjoy Raw Cannabis Edibles, including salads with cannabis leaves and/or flowers as a garnish or a source of protein, juicing plants, and even incorporating Raw Cannabis into smoothies. However, it’s important to experiment and start slowly when trying out new forms of Raw Cannabis – some people have experienced stomach cramps or still felt the effects of THC when consuming Raw Cannabis. Remember: each person reacts differently to cannabis, so what works for one person might not work for you, and vice versa.

9. WAKE AND BAKED: CANNABIS TEA & COFFEE

Cannabis-infused tea or coffee can help to improve your day by providing a little energy and reducing the effects of caffeine. Most beverages, especially hot drinks, contain only CBD or very low THC levels, so there are many options available to buy. CBD is often paired with potent herbal tea or robust coffee beans, which help to reduce the “jitters” caused by caffeine. If you usually start your day feeling sluggish, stiff, and sore, cannabis-infused tea or coffee may help to take the edge off.

Would you like to try some of our Mary Joe (cannabis coffee)? It’s easy to find online in Canada – there are many marijuana dispensaries and online edibles stores that carry CBD coffee and a full-spectrum of weed tea blends. The best way to make this drink is to start with a few buds or drops of oil, and see how you feel. If you don’t like it hot, you can drink it iced.

Chocolate and cannabis are two of the most popular health foods around, and they both have plenty of benefits. Chocolate helps to reduce blood sugar and pressure levels, has a calming effect, is rich in antioxidants, and is often linked to healthy skin. Plus, cannabis has many benefits on its own, like reducing anxiety and inflammation. When you add all of these benefits together, you have a powerful combination that can help you achieve optimal health.

8. CANNA-CHOCOLATE: EVERYONE’S MARIJUANA DESIRE

There are already a million ways to enjoy chocolate, so it’s no surprise that cannabis chocolate is one of the most popular products on the market. Artisanal cannabis-chocolates are a favorite, double-chocolate weed brownies, cannabis-chocolate drizzle on top of other desserts… if you can dream it, you can probably taste it too in today’s marijuana-infused edible era.

7. CAP-A-CANNABIS: MARIJUANA CAPSULES & 6. CANNABIS OIL: THE ESSENTIAL

We thought it was best to keep these two products together, as they are both hugely popular and have a lot of different uses. Cannabis Capsules and Cannabis Oil are some of the most widely used edible varieties, with capsules usually containing cannabis oil within gel caps, or extract powder, crystals, or even the flower itself. Oils typically come in tinctures, with different potencies available. Some people can’t stand the taste of oil, so they swallow capsules, while others don’t mind the taste or choose to apply it topically as well.

Cannabis capsules are a popular choice for people because they allow you to control the dose more easily than when you eat cannabis-infused goods. Taking capsules or oils can result in more consistent effects or benefits, similar to measuring drops or vials from an oil tincture. While there is nothing wrong with consuming cannabis as an additive to more flavorful edibles, high-potency capsules or oils are almost a must for cancer patients, people suffering from epilepsy, or those treating their schizophrenia or PTSD with cannabis. Capsules and oils are the most direct way to get high amounts of cannabis into your body.

5. CANNABIS BEVERAGES: DRINK UP, SETTLE DOWN

We’ve been saying before that cannabinoids don’t always dissolve well in liquids – some cannabis drinks can be grainy and leave residue of CBD or THC crystals behind. However, advances in technology are allowing us to include CBD or THC in our choice of beverage. There is a surge of interest among wineries in North America and Europe in creating “cannabis wines, champagnes and spirits”, and some interesting prototypes have already been created.

What are some popular cannabis beverages already on the market? CBD water, CBD vitamin drinks, and full-spectrum (THC + CBD) sports drinks have exploded over the last few years. Due to interest in the benefits, many types of cannabis elixirs, tonics, and “full body and mind” products are starting to hit the shelves of local health stores. As well as, it focuses on the wide range of benefits of plants to the skin, cardiovascular system, major organs, especially the brain. Name another plant that helps you get in shape and shape? Medical professionals are always careful to drink more water and stay hydrated with essential minerals and electrolytes.

Do you remember your last pot cookie or brownie? If so, you might have experienced some unwanted side effects. Baked goods containing cannabis are often associated with headaches and other medical problems. This is because cannabinoids can be more potent and last longer in the body than typical marijuana smoking. In fact, many people prefer to eat cannabis baked goods because they provide a relaxing experience. Who wouldn’t enjoy a delicious treat that relaxes the mind and body? We rest our case.

4. BAKED GOODS: CANNABIS PASTRIES, MUFFINS & COOKIES

What popular cannabis drinks are really out there? CBD waters, CBD vitamin drinks, and some full spectrum (THC + CBD) sports drinks have exploded in popularity in the past few years. A lot of natural health product manufacturers are interested in the benefits of cannabis, so many cannabis elixirs, tonics, and “complete body and mind” products have begun stocking shelves at your local health store. These products, like most hemp products, focus on the plant’s wide range of benefits to the skin, cardiovascular system, major organs, and especially to the brain. Name another plant that benefits basically all parts of the body, and that can help in some way, shape, or form whenever you are sick or injured? We are always reminded by medical professionals to drink more water, stay hydrated with essential minerals and electrolytes…so what they were trying to say was “cannabis drinks do all of the above…so get some!”.

3. CANNABIS BUTTER: A BUDDER WAY FORWARD

Cannabis butter, budder, or cannabudder is a favorite edible form of cannabis, and is simple to make at home. It’s a great starting point for those new to cannabis edibles, and is effective at delivering the cannabinoids and terpenes that users are looking for. You can make it to your specific strain or potency needs with simple household tools.

Another reason cannabudder is so popular is that it can be added to almost any food or lifestyle. You can put it in your waffles, bake with it, fry your potatoes in it, and even add a dollop to your coffee and tea- so there are many ways to enjoy it! Cannabudder is versatile enough to pair with almost anything you eat or drink, but unlike cannabis oil which requires more extraction processes and knowledge, you can make cannabudder at home or buy it online.

Making your own cannabis butter is a great way to get the most of your buds. You can choose to decarb your buds in the oven, or you can buy cannabis butter online. Either way, the result is a delicious and versatile product that will add a special something to your food.

Who doesn’t love sweet treats? Sure, there’s something to be said for the amounts of sugar we consume nowadays, but when it comes to taking your cannabis medicine there’s nothing quite like savoring your favorite sweet treat. Cannabis candy is the clear leader in terms of variety: lollipots (if you haven’t figured it out yet, this is a cannabis-infused lollipop), jawbreakers, sour candies, gum, mints, taffy, caramels, and hundreds more. Cannabis can be introduced to pretty much any kind of candy, but there are some clear leaders in this pack of marijuana sweets. Lollipots, which are extremely popular in the world of edibles, have been used by smokers looking to cutback on the amount they puff (lollipops or suckers are often used by cigarette smokers as well, to help with their oral fixation and reduce their need to light up).

2. CANDYLAND: ALL THE SWEETS, ALL THE HEALTH REWARDS

Hard candies like lozenges, jawbreakers, and sour candies are popular on the market for a variety of reasons, including convenience, dosage needs, and low prices. There’s always a new variety hitting the shelves, which makes them a great choice for customers who are looking for a nostalgic treat. Many edibles companies are focusing on giving their customers more choice by offering different types of cannabis hard candies.

1. MOST PEOPLE CHEWS… CANNABIS GUMMIES!

Marijuana gummies are a popular choice for edibles, and they offer a lot of convenience and flavor. They’re often the highest average THC/CBD values of all the edibles online, and they come in many different shapes and colors. Adults love to grab a fistful of gummies from the local candy store, and the trend continues for marijuana gummies when it comes to popularity.

There’s something special about chewing on crunchy textures, and there’s scientific evidence to support the psychology behind it. Chewing on satisfying foods like fruit, nuts, or gummy bears is a sure way to experience satisfaction and enjoy the sweet, fruity, or herbal flavors. Cannabis gummies are a popular choice for edibles users, and they’ll remain popular for the foreseeable future.
