We invite you to visit any of our Massachusetts locations to explore our collection of edibles, which includes a variety of gummies, mints, beverages, and candies.
What Are Edibles?
Edibles are a broad term that refers to any food or drink product infused with cannabis. Instead of delivering cannabinoids through inhalation, you’ll feel the effects of THC or CBD after it travels through your digestive system. Edibles are made by first extracting the cannabinoids from marijuana plants. After mixing with a carrier oil, the extracts are blended into ingredients used to make candies, baked goods, or drinks.
What Does an Edible Look Like?
Edibles come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Common types of edibles found at Native Sun include:
- Gummies
- Chocolate bars
- Cookies
- Brownies
- Beverages (sodas, seltzers, iced teas, lemonades)
- Hard candies
- Mints and chews
- Sorbet
Each edible will come in standard serving sizes with a set amount of THC or CBD per piece. Most brands will separate each serving into 5 mg or 10 mg THC doses. Highlighted companies at Native Sun include COAST Cannabis, Betty’s Eddies, Wana, and Camino.
Weed Edible Dosages
The dosages for edibles depend on your experience level. As a general guideline:
- Beginners: 2.5mg–5mg
- Moderate Users: 5mg–10mg
- Experienced Users: 10mg–20mg
Start small and wait at least 60 to 90 minutes before taking another edible. Depending on the brand, you may not feel any effects until 30 minutes or more after consuming an edible. A common question is, “How long do edible effects last?” The effects tend to last longer than vaping or smoking. You may experience the effects for up to four to eight hours after ingestion. Peak effects will occur about two hours after consumption.
Benefits of Cannabis Edibles
Edibles have several benefits, including:
- Portability: Easily bring edibles on the go, especially types like gummies, mints, or chews. You don’t need extra accessories like pipes or bongs.
- Discreet: Drinking a spiked beverage or popping a gummy is much more discreet than smoking or vaping since they provide a smoke-free experience.
- Long-lasting effects: The onset of effects occurs approximately 30 minutes after ingestion, peaks at 2 hours, and can last for 4 hours or more.
- Customizable dosing: Know exactly how much THC you’re using when you take a pre-measured edible.
