What the Cannabis Edibles Category Covers

At its heart, the cannabis edibles category refers to any food or beverage product that has been infused with cannabis — most often THC, CBD, or a blend of both. Instead of going through inhalation, the active ingredients in edibles pass through the digestive system, which delivers an effect that is frequently more prolonged than smoked or vaped cannabis.

Cannabis edibles suit a broad spectrum of consumers. People who enjoy cannabis socially value the convenience and discretion that edibles bring. Consumers who want a longer, more body-focused experience often gravitate toward edibles over inhalation options. The category is diverse enough to serve both complete beginners and highly experienced cannabis users.

It is helpful to understand that cannabis edibles work differently from person to person. Factors like body weight, metabolism, and prior cannabis experience can all affect how an edible works for you. That is why our experienced staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational makes it a priority to walk shoppers through the selection before they choose a product.
