Many different types of marijuana edibles are available to purchase in legal marijuana states throughout the United States, where more than half of the states have legalized recreational or\u00a0<\/span>medical marijuana<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s also common now for cannabis connoisseurs to make their own marijuana-infused cuisine at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While marijuana edibles are popular among regular, long-term marijuana users, they\u2019re also a favored choice among beginners who are being introduced to cannabis for the very first time and are looking for an easy way to take their marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n Marijuana edibles are foods and beverages that contain marijuana and its active compounds. Using a number of techniques, marijuana flower can be infused into almost any type of food or drink.<\/span><\/p>\n In general, marijuana edibles are produced to contain relatively high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that causes intoxication.<\/span><\/p>\n With marijuana legalization expanding and the demand for marijuana products increasing over recent years, the <\/span>market for marijuana edibles has surged<\/span><\/a>. There are many types of different marijuana-infused foods and beverages now available to buy in dispensaries, and people continue to find new ways to infuse marijuana into their favorite recipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s a list of just some of the different types of marijuana edible products:<\/span><\/p>\n In general, marijuana edibles are made using one of two processes.<\/span><\/p>\n Marijuana food edibles like cookies or brownies are made with canna-butter<\/a> or canna-oil. Canna-butter is unsalted butter that\u2019s been blended with ground cannabis flower and water. The marijuana-infused butter can then be added in place of regular butter in any baking recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n Canna-oil, which blends ground cannabis flower with any type of cooking oil, can also be used for baking dessert foods, but is generally used for blending into homemade sauces or salad dressing, saut\u00e9ing veggies, or low temperature frying on the stove.<\/span><\/p>\n To make marijuana-infused beverages, you can add drops of cannabis extract in liquid form, or a tincture, are added to drinks. Marijuana tinctures, which allow those making edibles on their own at home to have greater control over the THC level in their edibles, can also be added to food products.<\/span><\/p>\n If you enjoy cooking and want to think of a fun and creative way to ingest edibles, you can try your hand at making your own. Below, we have compiled some of our favorite CBD recipes<\/a> to work your way through.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that these particular recipes are made with hemp-derived CBD products and contain no more than trace amounts of THC, meaning that there are no psychoactive or euphoric effects<\/a> from eating.

How to Make CBD Penne Rosa Pasta<\/a><\/p>\n Compared to other marijuana consumption methods, the effects after ingesting cannabis edibles are delayed. While the effects of smoking or vaping marijuana are often felt within seconds or minutes of inhaling, the effects of edibles are usually not noticeable until 30 to 90 minutes after they are consumed.<\/span><\/p>\n If you smoke or vape marijuana, cannabinoids like THC and CBD are quickly absorbed by the alveoli in your lungs and reach your bloodstream almost immediately. Marijuana edibles, however, have to be digested before the cannabinoids can reach the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the effects of marijuana edibles do set in, they are usually much stronger and longer lasting than other consumption methods. The following are a few factors that can determine how long the effects may last: Marijuana edibles differ from cannabidiol (CBD) edibles in that they contain a high concentration of THC and are used for their euphoric effects.\u00a0<\/span>CBD<\/span><\/a>, on the other hand, is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. This means that CBD edibles, generally infused with CBD hemp oil, are completely non-intoxicating and are subsequently popular among those interested in the natural balancing properties of cannabinoids without the intoxicating effects.<\/span><\/p>\n CBD hemp oil can be\u00a0<\/span>mixed into almost any prepared foods<\/span><\/a>, and is often incorporated as part of a healthy eating and wellness lifestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n Many edibles feature a combination of THC and CBD, leading some to wonder whether combining the two cannabinoids is better or stronger than edibles that just feature one of the two substances. Findings suggest that cannabinoids like CBD and THC have greater natural effects when they\u2019re consumed together and with the other compounds native to cannabis as a whole-plant product. This concept, known as the entourage effect<\/a>, suggests that THC, CBD, and cannabis\u2019 other compounds work together synergistically to enhance their natural wellness effects.<\/p>\n Marijuana edibles do offer some initial challenges for beginners who are not yet familiar with how their body will respond to the delayed and amplified effects of cannabis. Because of the delayed effects, it\u2019s not uncommon for beginners to take a second serving and then discover that they\u2019ve overdone it.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some tips on how to have a positive experience with marijuana edibles:<\/span><\/p>\n Find a comfortable location<\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n It\u2019s always a good idea to consume your marijuana edible in a comfortable setting. Taking edibles at home or among a tight group of people you\u2019re close to is best. If it\u2019s your first time, consider having your partner or a friend there to help you keep track of how much you\u2019ve consumed and to assist if you experience any discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n Read the package\u2019s serving guidelines<\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Marijuana edible products you purchase should have their THC concentration in milligrams (mg) clearly labeled. Keep in mind that edible products like marijuana-infused chocolate bars are designed for multiple servings. For example, if an edible packaging says it contains 100 mg of THC and it is divided into 10 single-serving pieces, each piece contains 10 mg of THC. Always know how many milligrams of THC you are taking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Start with a low serving and go slow<\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n While 10 mg THC is thought of as a typical serving, those new to marijuana edibles should begin by consuming a low amount of THC, between 2 and 5 mg. Wait at least two hours to gauge the effects before you consume another serving. This will help you find the perfect serving for you.<\/span><\/p>\n If you end up overindulging and feel uncomfortable, keep in mind that the sensation is only temporary. Here are some tips on how to manage if you have consumed too much THC:<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re a marijuana newcomer or a seasoned THC enthusiast, if it\u2019s your first time exploring edibles, you likely have some questions.
