You’ve probably heard all about cannabis gummies – one of the best ways to get the rewards of cannabis without inhaling. Cannabis edibles have become quite popular for those who are new to cannabis or those who prefer a more accessible way to consume it. Plus, they come in a variety of forms, such as gummies, chocolates, cookies, and even beverages.

At Garden Remedies, we offer cannabis edibles at our dispensaries in Newton, Marlborough, and Melrose, serving customers across Greater Boston, MetroWest, and the North Shore.

What are Cannabis Edibles?

Cannabis edibles are food and beverage products infused with cannabinoids like THC or CBD. Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles are consumed orally and processed through the digestive system.

A key reason why edibles are popular is that they are made in precisely dosed servings, making it easier for consumers to control their intake. There's an edible for everyone, from low-dose options for beginners to high-potency treats for experienced users.

Remember, start low and go slow with edibles – their effects can take up to two hours to kick in and may last longer than other consumption methods.

Because edibles take longer to take effect, they are often chosen for a more gradual and longer-lasting experience.

How Edibles Feel Different

Compared to other cannabis products, edibles:

  • Take longer to start (typically 30–90 minutes)
  • Last longer once they take effect
  • Can feel more body-focused depending on dosage

For many customers, edibles are a preferred option for relaxation or a more controlled, measured experience.

How to Choose the Right Edible

If you’re new to edibles or trying something different, consider:

  • Dosage
    • Lower doses (2.5–5mg THC) are typically better for beginners
    • Higher doses provide stronger effects
    • Everyone's tolerance is different. Start low and go slow as you figure out what dose works for you
  • Timing
    • Effects take longer to start than smoking or vaping and often last longer
    • Plan accordingly before consuming more
  • Desired Experience
    • Relaxation
    • Social use
    • Balanced effects

If you’re unsure where to start, our in-store team can help guide you.

Why Customers Choose Edibles

There are many reasons why a person would choose a cannabis edible over other formats, but there are a few common trends we'd like to highlight.

  • Smoke-free consumption
    With an edible, there is no smoke or vapor involved! That means no skunky weed smell or harshness on the lungs
  • Longer-lasting effects
    There is a longer onset time with edibles, but it is common for effects to last two or more hours
  • Easy, discreet use
    No equipment required! Just eat (or drink!)
  • Variety of flavors and formats
    Edibles come in all manners of tasty treats: cookies, candy, chocolates, beverages, snacks, and more
