What the Cannabis Edibles Category Covers
At its heart, the cannabis edibles category covers any ingestible product that has been made using cannabis — most often THC, CBD, or a ratio of both. Instead of entering the body through the lungs, the active compounds in edibles pass through the digestive system, which produces an effect that is frequently more prolonged than inhaled cannabis.
Cannabis edibles work well for a wide range of consumers. Recreational users value the convenience and discretion that edibles offer. Those who prefer a longer, more body-focused experience often favor edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is broad enough to work for both people new to THC and frequent cannabis enthusiasts.
It is helpful to understand that cannabis edibles produce variable results depending on the individual. Factors like individual metabolism, tolerance, and body chemistry can all affect how an edible works for you. That is why our trained staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational takes the time to help each person through the selection before they make a purchase.
