BC Weed Edibles

The day of legal marijuana has finally arrived in British Columbia. Besides dried flower, three classes of cannabis became legal in the province Thursday: topicals, extracts and edibles.

Bc weed edible are foods or beverages infused with cannabis that allow consumers to experience the effects of marijuana without smoking. The active ingredients (such as THC) in edibles enter the bloodstream through the digestive system, and the body metabolizes them to produce the psychoactive effects. The effect from an edible can take 30-90 minutes to become apparent, and it can last for 2-4 hours. However, it is important to remember that everyone’s metabolism is different, and some people may feel the effects much sooner than others.

Unlike smoking, the ingestion of edibles does not increase the risk for lung diseases such as bronchitis or cancer. But edibles do not eliminate the health risks associated with using cannabis, and it’s important to consider all the risks before consuming them.
