Homonym: edibles (Consumables)
Edibles are food products that contain cannabis or its active compounds, primarily THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). They come in various forms, including gummies, chocolates, baked goods, and beverages. Edibles are popular for their discreet consumption and longer-lasting effects compared to other methods like smoking or vaping.
When consumed, edibles are metabolized by the body, leading to a delayed onset of effects, typically 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.
