Edibles
Edibles
Edibles (/ˈɛdɪbəlz/), also known as cannabis-infused foods, are food products that contain cannabis or cannabidiol (CBD). The term "edibles" is a slang term used in the cannabis industry to refer to food products such as cookies, brownies, or candies that have been infused with cannabis extracts.
Etymology
The term "edibles" is derived from the word "edible", which means something that is fit to be eaten. The term has been used in the context of cannabis-infused foods since at least the 1960s.
Types of Edibles
There are many different types of edibles, including but not limited to:
- Baked goods: These are perhaps the most well-known type of edibles. They include items like brownies, cookies, and cakes that have been infused with cannabis.
- Candies: These include gummies, lollipops, and other types of candy that have been infused with cannabis.
- Beverages: These include teas, coffees, and other drinks that have been infused with cannabis.
Effects of Edibles
The effects of edibles can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the type and amount of cannabis used in the product, the individual's tolerance to cannabis, and the individual's metabolism. In general, the effects of edibles are often more intense and longer-lasting than those of smoking or vaping cannabis.
Legal Status
The legal status of edibles varies by country and state. In some places, they are legal for both medical and recreational use, while in others they are only legal for medical use or are completely illegal.
