This resource explains what cannabis edibles are, the types of items we carry at our Bangor, ME dispensary, and what you can realistically expect from your first — or next — edible experience. Read on to get informed.
What the Cannabis Edibles Category Covers
At its heart, the cannabis edibles category refers to any ingestible product that has been formulated with cannabis — usually THC, CBD, or a combination of both. Instead of being inhaled, the active cannabinoids in edibles are processed by the digestive system, which produces an effect that is frequently more prolonged than combusted cannabis.
Cannabis edibles are appropriate for a diverse set of consumers. Casual cannabis consumers appreciate the approachable nature and variety that edibles bring. People looking for a longer, more body-focused experience often gravitate toward edibles over inhalation options. The category is diverse enough to serve both first-time cannabis consumers and highly experienced cannabis enthusiasts.
It is important to understand that cannabis edibles affect everyone differently. Factors like what you've eaten, your tolerance level, and your body type can all affect how an edible takes effect. That is why our experienced staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational is always ready to walk shoppers through the available products before they choose a product.
