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.
