Cannabis Edibles
The patience of edibles rewarded with the most controlled cannabis experience. Precise dosing, longer-lasting effects, and zero smoke or vapor.
What Are Cannabis Edibles?
Cannabis edibles are food and beverage products infused with THC, CBD, or both. Common edible types include gummies, chocolates, baked goods, beverages, hard candies, and more. Unlike flower consumed through smoking or vaping, edibles are processed by your liver before entering your bloodstream, creating longer-lasting effects and different pharmacokinetics.
An edible is not simply flower baked into a brownie. Professional edible makers extract cannabinoids into butter or oil, then carefully measure and mix those extracts into products at precise doses. You are not guessing about potency; you are consuming a measured dose.
At Hii, we stock edibles from Wyld, Bodega Boys, Left Coast, and other brands where quality and consistency matter. Every edible we carry is tested for potency and safety.
Onset Time: Why Edibles Differ from Flower
Flower and Vape Onset
- Effects in 5 to 15 minutes
- Peak at 15 to 30 minutes
- Duration: 2 to 4 hours
Edible Onset
- Effects in 45 minutes to 2 hours
- Peak at 2 to 4 hours
- Duration: 4 to 8 hours or longer
The most common edible mistake: consuming an edible, waiting 30 minutes, feeling no effects, and consuming another edible. You then experience the combined dose of both edibles hitting you at once. The first edible was working; you just did not know it yet.
Wait at least 2 hours after your first edible dose before consuming more. Longer waits are safer and more informed.
Dosing Guide: Start Low, Go Slow
New York State regulations cap individual edible servings at 10 milligrams (mg) of THC per unit. This limit exists to protect newer consumers.
Newer Consumers
5 to 10mg THC
Wait 2 to 3 hours before additional consumption. Effects include mild relaxation, slight euphoria, and reduced anxiety.
Regular Consumers
10 to 20mg THC
20 to 30mg THC produces notably stronger effects. Tolerance builds over time.
Medical/Therapeutic
5 to 10mg consistent
Terpene profiles matter as much as THC percentage for therapeutic applications.
Types of Edibles
Gummies
The most popular edible category. Discreet, taste good, and offer precise dosing (typically 5 or 10mg THC per gummy). Wyld gummies are a popular choice at Hii.
Chocolates
Infused chocolate bars and pieces. Onset may be slightly faster than gummies because fat content aids absorption.
Beverages
Cannabis-infused drinks including sodas and teas. Some use nano-emulsified THC for faster onset similar to smoking.
Baked Goods
Brownies, cookies, and rice crispy treats. Lab-tested for consistency from professional producers.
Hard Candies
Lollipops and lozenges. Some designed for sublingual absorption, offering faster onset than swallowing.
Capsules
Edibles in capsule form, often used by medical patients preferring a pill format without taste concerns.
