What are Cannabis Edibles?

Edibles are foods or drinks that contain THC (cannabis’ mind-altering ingredient) or CBD – the part that doesn’t make you high.

This means that you need to be careful when making and consuming cannabis edibles as there is the possibility of consuming too much THC.

The marijuana mantra goes like this: dose low and slow.

The most common and well-known type of cannabis edibles consists of baked goods and candies. Both these items can be prepared in a number of ways and they can both be enjoyed after eating them.

If you are a beginner in the world of cannabis and would like to try out how it feels, this is one of the best ways to do so.
