Edibles provide a long-lasting and psychoactive high. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to kick in, so it’s important to start with a low dose and wait to see how you feel before eating more. Because the effects of edibles can be so strong, they are not recommended for first-time users or those who are not experienced with cannabis. Edibles are a great way to consume cannabis if you want to avoid smoking.
