When ingesting cannabis, it's first processed through the stomach, then the liver. Absorption into the bloodstream can take 20 to 90 minutes, depending on body weight, metabolism, and other factors. Effects typically normalize after 4-6 hours, again influenced by individual factors.

 

Gummies

Gummies are created by distilling cannabinoids from the flower and emulsifying them into a mixable ingredient. Most national brands use a distillation process that preserves cannabinoids and ensures consistent delivery.
Two processes extract cannabinoids: pressing the flower under low heat to extract a thick, raw rosin containing a full spectrum of cannabinoids, or using solvents to distill cannabinoids from the flower. Gummies also present an opportunity to add flavors and other herbals like elderberry, turning your sleep ritual into a sweet treat.

OUI recommends rosin gummies for CBD or CBG cannabinoids, ensuring these isolates are supported by the full spectrum of cannabinoids.
OUI adores the Turkish delights from Rose, offering a refined way to incorporate cannabis into dessert.
 

Chocolate

Crafting cannabis-infused chocolate is challenging. It can be dry, chalky, or lacking in chocolatey goodness unless you know what to buy. Stick with professionals and chefs.
Kiva has been perfecting cannabis chocolate since the dawn of edibles, achieving the ideal balance of creaminess and cannabis. We love Garden Society chocolates for their years spent formulating the perfect chocolate taste, consistency, and flavor.
 

Mints

Cannabis mints offer a discreet way to microdose. They provide just the right level of pain relief for a headache, help you transition from work mode to mom mode, and can be a nice way to share.
As cannabis becomes more widely available, companies are developing an array of products from chips to breath strips, mouth sprays, and chef-crafted petits fours. We can't wait to see these adult confections hit the market.
