What You Should Understand About Cannabis Edibles
At its foundation, the cannabis edibles category covers any consumable item that has been formulated with cannabis — most often THC, CBD, or a combination of both. Instead of going through inhalation, the active compounds in edibles travel through the digestive system, which creates an effect that is often longer-lasting than smoked or vaped cannabis.
Cannabis edibles are appropriate for a diverse set of consumers. Recreational users value the smoke-free format and ease of dosing that edibles bring. Consumers who want a prolonged and calming experience often gravitate toward edibles over inhalation options. The category covers enough ground to accommodate both first-time cannabis consumers and longtime cannabis enthusiasts.
It is important to understand that cannabis edibles produce variable results depending on the individual. Factors like body weight, metabolism, and prior cannabis experience play a role in determining how an edible hits. That is why our trained staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational is always ready to help each person through the available products before they choose a product.

Cannabis Edibles FAQ
Here are some the questions we hear most often about cannabis edibles questions our customers raise at our dispensary:
How long do cannabis edibles take to kick in?
Cannabis edibles typically take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take full effect. How quickly you feel the effects depends on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently. The standard advice is to wait no less than an hour before taking additional product.
How much do cannabis edibles typically run at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational?
Prices vary depending on the format, brand, and cannabinoid content. Basic edible products like small-dose items are frequently available from around ten dollars or less, while higher-end boxes, artisan products, or multi-serving packages sometimes go up into the $40–$60 range. Staff at our location will share up-to-date price information.
What is the difference between THC edibles and CBD edibles?
THC edibles include the psychoactive compound THC, which is what produces the "high" associated with cannabis. CBD edibles include non-intoxicating cannabidiol and are not associated with a psychoactive high. Some edibles contain a ratio of THC to CBD — often called mixed-cannabinoid edibles — which many shoppers prefer because they provide the combined effect of both cannabinoids.

Our staff consistently advises beginning with the lowest available dose and waiting a full 90 minutes before adjusting your dose.
