The landscape of marijuana consumption has grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade or so. Way back when before you could Google the easiest way to make your own treats, people went through a trial and error period of infusing various foods with cannabis to figure out the best avenues to get high.<\/span><\/p>\n Nowadays, instead of guessing how to make effective edibles without overdoing it, there are tried and true methods of making your own weed butter and using it in a variety of baked goods. It\u2019s a time-consuming process, and if you\u2019d rather leave the scientific measuring up to the experts, any number of dispensaries can supply you with premade edibles and a ton of options.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re new to the world of edibles, let\u2019s explore what\u2019s before you. From loaded soda and candy to cookies and teas, the choices can often be overwhelming. We break down the most common options and explore what you might expect from each type.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the more popular kinds of edibles comes in the form of candy, and whether it\u2019s chocolate, gummies, or mints, you\u2019re sure to find a flavor that you like. Edible candies typically take two general forms: smaller bite-sized pieces that come in a pack, or larger items like bars and multi-serving gummies.<\/span><\/p>\n Those who don\u2019t enjoy smoking can often appreciate eating their weed, as the candy has come a long way in terms of taste. Some brands do bring with them a hint of marijuana aftertaste, but for the most part, companies do a great job of masking the taste with other delicious flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n As with all edibles, candy can either take a while to affect you (up to 2 hours in some cases) or if you eat them on an empty stomach can take as little as 10 minutes to take you on a wild ride. Your high is generally more intense and lasts a decent amount of time, although everyone will be affected differently.<\/span><\/p>\n Candies commonly come in 5mg doses while larger options are made to break apart into smaller sections. It\u2019s not advised to eat an entire chocolate bar in one sitting!<\/span><\/p>\n Popular with the at-home baker, both cookies and brownies are commonly talked about when it comes to edibles. Much like candy options, the effects of the weed can hit you right away, offering relief from pain or simply imparting a calming mood. Again, how hydrated you are and how much food you\u2019ve recently eaten will play a large role in how strongly you\u2019re affected by the THC.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the main reasons to choose a brownie or cookie over candy is that in many ways it can be more discrete. Unless you transfer your candy to your own bag, it\u2019s clear for everyone to see what you\u2019re eating. However, hold a cookie or brownie in your hand and nobody's the wiser! Remember, dosages will vary in these baked goods, so while eating a regular cookie in one go isn\u2019t a big deal, you might want to exercise some discretion with your special treats.<\/span><\/p>\n Going along with the idea of portability and discretion has come a new way to ingest marijuana - drinking a loaded soda. This innovative type of edible has become popular within just the last few years as the technology used in the marijuana industry has created new kinds of applications for weed. <\/span><\/p>\nSatisfy Your Sweet Tooth<\/b><\/h1>\n
