Weed Candy: All The Delicious Facts

As the legality of cannabis production and consumption continues to spread, so too do the methods by which marijuana enthusiasts consume the product. Joints, bongs spliffs, blunts, Thai sticks, vaporizers, dabbing—they’re all becoming more and more popular as new consumers enter the recreational marijuana market. But all these methods require that you ingest weed by burning it and inhaling the smoke. What if you don’t want to smoke? What if you can’t smoke for various medical reasons? Are you left “not high” and dry? Thankfully, the answer is no. There is another option: marijuana edibles. Also known as weed candy.

We’re all familiar with the “special brownie”, but cannabis-infused edibles come in so many more varieties: cookies, drinks, pills, snacks, spreads, and even candies. It’s this latter form—cannabis candy—on which will be focusing on this article.

Marijuana  Candy: A Perfect Alternative To Smoking

As already mentioned, weed candy is a great choice for those who can’t smoke or don’t want to smoke. Those on supplemental oxygen can still get the benefits of cannabis without the risk of explosion and death. Similarly, patients suffering from digestive disorders, eating disorder, and nausea due to chemotherapy can find relief from their symptoms by directly ingesting the low doses of cannabidiol (CBD) found in marijuana candy.

Another great reason people choose to consume their marijuana via candy is that it’s more discreet. There  is no smell or smoke. Also there is no  coughing and no  open flame. You can get your medicated dose  wherever you are, whenever you want.

Another interesting effect of getting your THC by ingesting  candy—and one that many people prefer—is that the effects last for quite a bit longer when you compare it to smoking. This is because the candy, and the marijuana  it contains, must first be digested. Smoking/inhaling, on the other hand, is a much faster process because the smoke moves directly through your lungs into your bloodstream without the need for combustion steps.
