Cannabis edibles are ideal for people who are against smoking. Edible products are products containing THC or CBD that you can eat or drink.
CBD (Cannabinoids) are chemical compounds found in marijuana that affects both your body and mind when consumed. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), on the other hand, is a compound that makes you high or gives you a euphoric feeling.
In simple words, THC is intoxicating, but CBD is not. When getting edibles you must check the type of chemical compounds it contains. If you want to know more about cannabis edibles, you should go to Noodle Talk.

Read the label of edible products
Whenever buying any edible make sure you check the label. Cannabis edibles vary widely in ingredients as well as appearance. By checking the label you will get an idea about the percentage of CBD and THC it contains. You should always read the label of an edible, especially if you have never consumed it before. Also, you shouldn’t consume more than 2.5 mg of THC. Remember, some edible products come with an expiry date as well. So you need to check all of this before buying it.

Effects of edibles last longer than inhaling cannabis
Many of you may not know this but the effects of edibles last longer than inhaling marijuana. This is because your body takes a lot of time to absorb the THC from edibles. Usually, the effects wear off after 12 hours. But in some cases, it can last up to 24 hours. However, this depends on the number of edibles you have consumed. If you are a first-timer you should consume these products somewhere comfortable with friends you can trust.

It takes time to feel the effects
With edibles, the intoxicating effects don’t kick in immediately. It usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour for the effects to show. You get the peak high after 3-4 hours of consuming it. As mentioned in the previous point, the effects can last up to 12-24 hours. So make sure that you don’t have work the next day. When you ingest cannabis edibles, it goes to your stomach and then liver. After that, it enters your bloodstream and brain. Since it takes more time to feel the full effects, don’t end up consuming more.
These are very important points for a first-timer. Make sure you consume edibles carefully.
