Cannabis Edibles: Where to Start?
Since it’s legalization back in 2018, cannabis consumption has risen dramatically. Many Ontario businesses (much like Chronicles Cannabis) have begun providing great new ways to consume cannabis. One of the most popular methods of consuming cannabis in 2022? Edibles. We wanted to dive into edibles as a means of consuming cannabis, discuss the THC vs. CBD debate, and mention a few great products that we can’t get enough of!
What Are Edibles?
Edibles are food products infused with cannabis through cannabis butter or cannabis oils. This allows the user to eat a product and still feel the effects that cannabis can provide when smoking it, using a topical ointment, or any other common means of consumption.
As cannabis use has become less stigmatized and more commonplace, edible weed products have become very popular. It’s a very easy method to consume cannabis – simply eating and drinking, thus it’s one of the most popular ways to feel the effects of cannabis for new users. Just pop a gummy in, have a delicious cookie, or drink a fizzy drink, and in half an hour - you’re good to go.
There are plenty of different types of edibles varying in strength and purpose, and a few different options to eat/drink it. We’ll discuss all of this below.
THC or CBD?
As you likely already know, THC and CBD do drastically different things to your body as it’s consumed. We recently detailed this in our blog about CBD. However, these points still ring true with edible cannabis.
Edible cannabis products that contain higher levels of THC provide a more psycho-active high, while those with higher CBD levels are often used to relieve anxiety and promote calmness. Edibles with a balance of the two are often quite popular, as it can provide an even-keel or balanced high. CBD gummies, for example, are often ate for their calming and anxiety relieving properties.
If you’re unsure what balance may be best for you, check in with our budtenders in-store in Woodstock or Hamilton!
What Kind’s of Edibles Are There?
Gummies
Gummy candies may be the most common edibles consumed in this day and age. Created with both THC & CBD preferences in mind, some gummies have a higher concentration of THC or CBD to best fit each unique customer. With a wide range of flavours such as kiwi strawberry, sour megamelon, mixed berry, strawberry lemonade and so many more, we’re certain there is a flavour for every cannabis candy-lover out there. Chronicles Cannabis is a leader in carrying high-quality cbd & thc gummies in Ontario.
Baked Goods & Chocolates
We all think about brownies when discussing edibles, no? Well, in 2022 we’ve broadened our horizons to edibles like cookies, chocolate bars, and other snack foods. Baked goods with cannabis are great because not only are they delicious, but they’re easily storable too. They’re ideal for freezer storage for up to 3 months!
Beverages
It’s not just foods anymore, it’s drinks too. Cannabis beverages are generally a faster way to experience a high than other edible variations, however they’re often preferred by those with a high tolerance. With dozens of drinks and flavours to choose from, one may wonder where to start! Pick your favourite type of beverage (soda, tea, juice, non-alcoholic beer) and then find one with a THC to CBD ratio that sounds great to you. Unsure what would be ideal? Stop by in-store in Woodstock or Hamilton and our expert budtenders can help you make the best decision for you!
