CANNABIS-INFUSED OIL
Cannabis-infused oils are
a fantastic way to enjoy just
about any dish that calls
for butter or oil. In addition
to baked goods, you can
add cannabis-infused oil
to pasta sauces, salad dressings, veggie
dips, marinades, and so much more.
Cannabis oils on the market come with
droppers and communicate THC and CBD
concentrations, making dosing simple.
You can also infuse your own oil at home
and use a calculator to figure out how
much oil you want in your recipe.
CANNABIS-
INFUSED CANDIES
Chocolate bars and
soft chews (formerly known as
gummies) are two of the more popular
edibles on the market today. Soft chews
come in a range of flavors including
grapefruit hibiscus, pineapple orange,
and raspberry vanilla. In the chocolate
category consumers have all kinds
of options from cannabis-infused
vanilla, chai, milk chocolate squares
to dark truffles. Most candies come in
a 10 mg package that can be divided
for smaller dosing.
SUBLINGUAL
With the growth of edibles,
it’s necessary to recognize
the difference between
them and sublingual
applications — think
strips, sprays, and tinctures.
While both are consumed orally,
sublingual applications bypass the
gastrointestinal tract and metabolize
at a much faster rate. Simply place a
strip on your tongue and feel the effects
within 15 minutes.
DISTILLATES
Distillate is a
potent cannabis
extract, stripped down
to one specific cannabinoid:
THC or CBD. Runny, translucent,
and devoid of any flavor or aroma,
distillate is desirable due to its
strength and versatility. It can be
dabbed, vaped, or infused into edibles
and topicals with complete precision
for accurate dosing. A one-gram bottle
of 98 percent THC distillate could last
quite a long time. The ideal edibles
dose depends on the user’s tolerance,
body chemistry, and the experience
they’re looking for.
“
Edible forms
of cannabis,
including beverages and
sublingual applications,
can produce powerful,
long-lasting effects.”
CAUTION ON TIMING
Because edibles (excluding
sublingual applications)
travel down into the stomach
and through the gastrointestinal tract
before being broken down by enzymes,
it can take as quickly as 15 minutes or
as long as three hours for effects to kick
in. Additionally, the effects can be more
intense and last between four to six
hours. As they say, start low and go slow.
A common mistake in cannabis dosing
happens when a person doesn’t feel
anything after one hour and decides
to take another dose. After two hours,
both doses come through along with the
unpleasant effects of overconsumption.
If you don’t feel anything from an edible
after one hour, try eating a light snack
like an apple or an orange to get your
digestive juices flowing. Bon Appetit!
