THC Edibles

 

What is THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)?

THC is the most abundant cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. THC is the main ingredient that gets people high. Basically, THC attaches to the brain’s receptors, inducing the many wonderful sensations that are normally associated with cannabis use.  So the more THC, the higher the person will get in most instances. 

What are THC Edibles?

THC edibles (also known as cannabis edibles, weed edibles, marijuana edibles and pot edibles) are basically any food items that contain the cannabinoid THC. Simply, the THC is infused with the food item in question and then they are eaten to induce a high. Cannabis is becoming more accepted in modern day life and new and innovative ways to consume weed are being created all the time. This includes the delicious goodies that are found under the THC edible umbrella.  The THC edible Canada community is growing, and it’s growing fast, so come join the party and take advantage of all the therapeutic benefits that await. 

Are Weed Edibles Safe?

Weed edibles are safe so long as they are taken in appropriate and responsible doses. Over consumption can lead to a number of unpleasant effects which are described more in detail further down the page. In addition, cannabis edibles can be a bit unpredictable at times when taking too much. It is therefore always a good idea to start off slow and make sure the ideal amount of THC is taken per serving. If taken in appropriate doses, pot edibles can be a wonder. Just make sure to stay away from any driving or any other dangerous activity. On a final note, it is important to keep weed edibles in childproof containers, labelled clearly, and out of the reach of any unknowing individual. 

How to take Cannabis Edibles?

Since cannabis edibles are just like normal food items, they are to be eaten in the same way. One major difference is that weed edibles are not meant to be a meal, just a snack of a piece or two or three.  It all depends how much THC is contained in each piece. Normally, a 10-20mg dose would be good enough.  But for newcomers, or those with low tolerances, a 5-10mg dose would be more recommended. A seasoned edible lover could probably deal with a 15-30mg dose depending on the situation and desired goal. 

What does it Feel Like When Taking THC Edibles?

Cannabis edibles are typically known to induce intense body and mind numbing sensations. THC edible effects commonly include things such as increases in:

• Euphoria
• Sedation
• Relaxation
• Happiness
• Creativity

However, this list is only a sample of the wide range of therapeutic effects that are commonly associated with marijuana edibles. 

What are the Medical Uses of Marijuana Edibles?

Medical marijuana patients across Canada are using THC edibles for a wide range of conditions. Body aches, muscle pain and the inflammation that goes with it, are a big problem for a lot of people. Cannabis edibles are a great way to ease the pain, allowing users to live a normal life. In addition, THC edibles are commonly used to help with psychological conditions such as anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD and PTSD. Weed edibles are also great for those with insomnia or other sleep disorders, as marijuana edibles are known to have a lethargic couch lock effect. 

Are There Any Side Effects of Pot Edibles?

Pot is not known to come with any serious side effects, but taking too much THC edibles can lead to some very unpleasant feelings. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting and headaches are all a possibility if overconsumption has occurred. However, a lot would have to be eaten. In most instances, only red eyes, dry mouth and a very lethargic feeling will likely be experienced.  One good thing to know is that negative side effects to cannabis are usually rare and are over pretty quickly. 

How Much Weed Edibles Should I Take?

The amount of weed edibles to take will largely depend on a number of factors. For example, a 300 pound man will likely need much more than a guy a third his weight.  Also, someone who eats cannabis edibles every day will most certainly need a higher dose than someone who is just starting out. In addition, relief from chronic pain may require a higher dose than for a minor ache in the body. All these factors make it important that users know how much THC is in each edible, and how much they should take.  For newcomers, the suggested dosage is between 5-10mg, and give an hour in between doses. For a more moderate high between 10-20mg is recommended. For a heavy high, or for seasoned edible users, 20-30mg should do the trick.

What Do THC Edibles Taste Like?

The taste will largely depend on what the THC is infused with. A THC gummy will taste like a normal gummy. A THC chocolate will taste like a normal chocolate. I think you’re starting to get the picture. Weed edibles will taste just like the normal food item that has been mixed with. However, if there is a large amount of THC concentrate in a small piece of food, it could taste a bit bitter.

What are Some Alternatives of Cannabis Edibles?

There are so many different cannabis products to choose from. For example, there are THC concentrates such as budder, shatter, Get Kush live resin, THC oil, hash, THC vapes, THC pills  and THC distillate to name a few.  Or just traditional marijuana flowers will do the job.  If getting high isn’t your thing, then CBD products such as CBD oil, CBD capsules, CBD gummies or CBD vapes are more your style. These products do not cause intoxication, so you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits without getting high. There are even CBD topicals for external use, or CBD oil for dogs and CBD oil for cats.  Or if the goal is for an intense out of this world experience, magic mushrooms, shroom tea, shroom capsules or shroom chocolate are excellent choices. If the goal is to reap the benefits of magic mushrooms, but to not get to the point where hallucinations are occuring, then microdosing shroom pills are recommended.

How to Make Weed Edibles?

First a form of decarboxylated THC will be required. Either it can be done at home, or some THC distillate or THC oil can be purchased. There are tonnes of recipes with directions online, but basically the THC is heated up to a certain point until the substance becomes liquid enough to mix easily. The next step is to add it to the food mixture (or just add it right to the food item in some cases). Technically, decarboxylated THC can be eaten on its own and get users high. 

How Long Do THC Edibles Stay in Your System?

The length that THC stays in the body’s system depends on way too many variables to give an accurate prediction. Everyone’s body, level of tolerance and intended use will be different. In general, the range could be from 3 days to 30 or more days in some instances.  To learn more about CBD check out our full CBD 101 guide
