Cannabis Edibles: Uses, Effects, and Proper Dosage

Cannabis edibles offer a discreet, effective, and enjoyable way to consume medical cannabis, especially for those who prefer not to inhale smoke or vapor. At Green & Purple, Johannesburg’s leading cannabis dispensary, we provide insights into how edibles work and how to consume them safely.

What Are Cannabis Edibles?

Edibles are food products infused with cannabis extracts, typically containing THC, CBD, or both. Popular examples include:
• Gummies
• Chocolates
• Cookies
• Brownies
• Beverages

Benefits of Edibles
• Longer Lasting Effects: Edibles provide sustained relief for conditions like chronic pain, insomnia, and anxiety.
• Discreet Consumption: Easy to consume privately or publicly without noticeable odor or smoke.
• Controlled Dosage: Precisely dosed for predictable effects.

Understanding Edible Effects

Edibles typically take longer (30 minutes to 2 hours) to affect you compared to smoking or vaping, but effects last longer (4–8 hours).

Proper Dosage for Beginners
• Start Low: Begin with a low dose (5–10mg THC).
• Wait and Assess: Wait at least 2 hours before increasing dosage.
• Consistency: Always consume edibles in a comfortable and safe environment.

Safe Consumption Tips
• Clearly label homemade edibles.
• Store safely out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid mixing edibles with alcohol or other substances.
