Cannabis edibles are a fantastic way to enjoy the many advantages of marijuana without smoking it.
The downside of using cannabis in edible form is that they take longer to take effect.
Cannabis-infused products are less potent than their smokeable counterparts but can still have effects on your body so it’s always wise to proceed with caution when consuming them, and use our Marijuana Mantra:
“Dose Low
&
Dose Slow!”
—The Marijuana Mantra by Cannadish
Start with a low dose and just take it slow – especially for beginners at any age or level of experience.
Cannabis-infused products or edibles are any kind of food that has weed infused into it.
Consuming them should be done in small doses to gauge how you feel, and then you can move from there and increase.
They also provide you with an extended high that is generally milder than the high you get from smoking it.
Online and store-products also have specific dosing instructions to ensure that you consume them safely, and you don’t always have to use THC – CBD Oil is a perfect wellness alternative too, and can be used in countless edible recipes or just taken orally, or in capsule form.

The biggest advantage to using cannabis edibles is that you can create so many tasty recipes to enjoy your daily dose!
From desserts to decadent,savoury dinner meals – there are so many creative canna-possibilities.

The short answer is yes.
It is important to start low and go slow when consuming cannabis edibles to ensure that you don’t end up with an overdose.
Also, if you are unsure about combining other medications with the strain of cannabis that you are consuming, it’s best to start with a small dose and slowly increase your dose until you get a feeling for the effects.
You’ll also likely feel better by talking with your Doctor so that you have a safe, happy and comfortable plan in place.
Whether you’re new to edibles, or you’ve got a few recipes under your belt – please always make sure to decarb your weed.
Here is how to do it properly, and this step should be the first step before creating any kind of edible.
Decarboxylation is the process of heating the flower, creating THC from THCA.
Failure to decarb first, before creating any kind of weed edibles will result in an unbalanced product, and the same will go for your high.
