In our experience, you either love them or you hate them. If you couldn\u2019t already guess, we\u2019re talking about guide to edibles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As potentially the most polarizing way to consume cannabis, the key to edibles is to learn as much as you can about them in order to make an educated decision about your ideal experience. And that\u2019s where we come in!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So without further ado, welcome to the world of edibles \u2014 cookies, gummies, chocolates\u2026 you name it, and it\u2019s probably available in a dispensary and infused with cannabis. But what exactly are edibles? Do edibles have any negative side effects? And how does one go about finding their correct dosage?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Edibles?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This one is fairly self explanatory. Edibles are any product that contain cannabis and are meant to be eaten or sipped in a drink. Consumption of edibles dates back thousands of years, giving them a rich and varied history; however, the edibles we\u2019ve all come to know and love are more recent than you may think.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just the idea of infusing cannabis into regular ol\u2019 baked goods was first popularized in 1954 when Alice B. Toklas published a cookbook that featured a recipe for hash-infused fudge. Between then and the 1970\u2019s people really began experimenting with chocolate and cannabis \u2014 leading to the \u2018pot brownie\u2019 craze of the 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eventually, people branched out and edibles ranging from rice krispies, candies, and even cannabis-infused kombucha began dominating the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the Different Types of Edibles?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

From brownies and cookies to gummies and mints, edibles are a fairly diverse range of cannabis products. Given that they are essentially disguised as normal food, it\u2019s especially easy to confuse a THC-infused baked good, for example, with a non-medicated one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In other words, be very careful out there because that brownie that your daughter, little sister, nephew, or cousin baked could very well get you higher than a kite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While scrolling through the HyperWolf edibles menu, you\u2019ll see quite a few different options including gummies, cookies, fruit chews, sour belts, tinctures, and even a THC-infused spin off of Turkish Delights (hello, <\/span>Rose Delights<\/span>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, which one are you most tempted to try?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Find the Correct Edibles Dosage<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here\u2019s where things get a little tricky. Everybody knows that too high of a dose and you\u2019re in for an uncomfortably high experience, but too low of a dose and you risk not feeling anything at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, what is the perfect dose? That depends on your tolerance level and experience with cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A 1mg-5mg dose is incredibly mild and most commonly used by new consumers that have not yet built their tolerance or by those searching for a microdosed edible to aid in treating minor pain or anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A 5mg-15mg dose is usually suggested for those with moderate consumption experience looking to really feel the effects. While browsing our dispensary menu, you\u2019ll most commonly see 100mg packages that contain 5mg or 10mg pieces meant to be consumed over a long period of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A 20mg-50mg dose is considered relatively high, and is ideal for very experienced marijuana users with a high tolerance to edibles. If you decide to consume this high of a dose, expect to experience heavy euphoria.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And finally, a 50mg-100mg dose is saved for only the most experienced edible consumers with an extremely heavy tolerance, or those who are being treated for ailments such as cancer or inflammatory conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Have the Best Edibles Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Given that edibles must pass through the stomach and liver, they tend to have delayed effects that last much longer compared to smoking flower. To avoid a bad experience and ruining your perception of edibles forever (IYKYK), we suggest starting with a lower dose and waiting at least an hour to fully assess how you feel before consuming more, especially if you\u2019ve consumed the edibles with other food. This is truly the best way to gauge your tolerance levels and understand how your body processes edibles because we\u2019ve all been there\u2026 you think the edibles aren\u2019t hitting, you take another dose, and suddenly you\u2019re on the moon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you find yourself in the midst of an uncomfortable edibles high, drink plenty of water and consume a small dose of CBD to offset the effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So there you have it \u2014 our complete guide to edibles discussing everything you need to know from the different types of edibles, the complete dosage chart, how to have the best edibles experience, and even what can be considered an edible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
