Many people enjoy cannabis edibles for various reasons, including the fact that they are an alternative to consuming weed by smoking or otherwise inhaling it. For people with certain medical conditions, edibles are the only way to ingest cannabis. Examples of popular edibles include gummies (and other chewable candies), baked goods (cookies, brownies, etc.), and liquids (e.g., root beer). These products are often infused with canna-oil or canna-butter (or cannabis extracts for liquid products). There are several health benefits to consuming edibles. Here is a close look at each of these. Advantages of Cannabis Edibles Although each person’s level of tolerance to edibles is different, these products generally take anywhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours to work, while the effects themselves may last up to eight hours (for liquid edibles, these durations are shorter). Here are some notable advantages of these cannabis products. Eating Cannabis Won’t Always Get You Stoned THCA merely turns into THC once it has aged or has been exposed to heat in a process known as decarboxylation. This process typically occurs at around 220 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 30–45 minutes of exposure. Edibles Are Great For Pain Relief Cannabis Edibles on white background with a cannabis flower laying on topCannabis edibles can help with chronic pain management for those with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain. Doctors also often recommend medical cannabis (in any form) to treat muscle spasms. As always, be sure to begin with small doses. Edibles Help Reduce Nausea Like other forms of medicinal marijuana, edibles have been clinically proven to alleviate nausea. However, given the fact that edibles take longer than joints to take effect, they may not be able to reduce unanticipated bouts of nausea. Therefore, only consume these products after doing something you know may cause you to feel unwell. Edibles Are High In Antioxidants Cannabis edibles contain many antioxidants, which are vital because they shield us against anxiety, as well as cancer and other severe illnesses. Antioxidants also protect the human body from “free radicals,” highly reactive molecules that are extremely destructive. Edibles Treat Appetite and Weight Loss If you have recently experienced drastic appetite or weight loss (due to cancer or any other reason), cannabis edibles can help treat your issue. One Canadian study involved giving advanced cancer patients dronabinol (an artificial compound containing cannabinoids) and resulted in increased protein consumption, improved sense of taste, and improvements in quality of life for the subjects.
