Homonym: Edibles (Consumables)
Edibles are food products infused with cannabis, typically containing THC or CBD. They come in various forms, including gummies, chocolates, and baked goods. Edibles offer an alternative way to consume cannabis without smoking, making them popular among those seeking a discreet or healthier option.
When consumed, edibles are metabolized by the liver, which can lead to a delayed onset of effects, often taking 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. The effects can last several hours, making it important for users to start with a low dose and wait before consuming more to avoid overconsumption.
