What the Cannabis Edibles Category Covers
At its heart, the cannabis edibles category encompasses any food or beverage product that has been infused with cannabis — typically THC, CBD, or a ratio of both. Instead of being inhaled, the active compounds in edibles travel through the digestive system, which delivers an effect that is generally more sustained than combusted cannabis.
Cannabis edibles work well for a broad spectrum of consumers. People who enjoy cannabis socially appreciate the smoke-free format and ease of dosing that edibles provide. People looking for a longer, more body-focused experience often choose edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is broad enough to serve both complete beginners and highly experienced cannabis consumers.
It is here important to understand that cannabis edibles produce variable results depending on the individual. Factors like what you've eaten, your tolerance level, and your body type all influence how an edible takes effect. That is why our knowledgeable staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational takes the time to guide customers through the selection before they choose a product.

Cannabis Edibles Frequently Asked Questions
Below are the most common cannabis edibles questions our shoppers bring to us:
How long do cannabis edibles take to kick in?
Cannabis edibles generally take anywhere from half an hour to two hours to produce noticeable effects.
