Top Five Benefits of Marijuana Edibles
1. MEASURED / CONSISTENT DOSAGE
Dosing is an important factor for medical patients and recreational consumers looking to get exactly what they want from cannabis. Have you ever eaten an edible that is too strong? Then you will know what we are talking about. It is very difficult to know how much THC you are getting from a homemade grocery. Fortunately, the legalization of Marijuana Edibles in many of the United States has seen the establishment of new tests and safety standards around cannabis. Renowned companies produce edibles with marijuana infusion with measured doses and test their products to ensure they are always consistent. There has never been a better time to mark your dose and the consistency of your personalized experience. We recommend starting with 5 mg of THC.
2. EFFECTS
Now that you know how to start with a dose of 5 mg, it is important to know the effects of food. Groceries can take up to an hour and a half to take effect and can last more than 6 hours, so be patient! The THC effect of edibles in the brain may have a more sleepy or sedative effect than smoking or vaping. This is very useful for patients with insomnia or pain.
3. DISCRETION AND ACCESSIBILITY
In our postmodern world, personal privacy is more important than ever. Groceries are a great way to consume cannabis discreetly. Groceries tend not to smell much and marijuana can be used to infuse a number of products such as elixirs, fruit strips and chocolate bars so that it is not obvious to the people around you.
Groceries are accessible to consumers who care especially about taste because there are many options to choose from and, if you are reluctant to smoke, they are an excellent alternative.
4. COOKING WITH CANNABIS
Cannabis improves the taste of many of our favorite foods. Most of us have heard of space brownies, but it is also delicious baked in pizza, granola or butter. There are even recipes with cannabis infusion, such as quinoa and cannabis salad, which are healthy and delicious.
The mother of modern cannabis cuisine is Alice B. Toklas. Best known for dating modernist luminaries such as Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, Alice was also a renowned cook and her recipe book is considered a precursor to the works of Julia Child and M.F.K. Fisherman. Within this seminal volume you can find Alice's recipe for "hash brownies".
These days, the movement from the gourmet farm to the table has taken cannabis cooking to new and exciting levels. There are many wonderful recipes to keep even the most prolific culinary enthusiasts creative. Check out this recipe for stuffed lentils from The High Times Psychedelicatessen. Or this Street Corn recipe from TheVeganStoner.com.
5. ENJOYING TRADITION
Humans have been ingesting cannabis for literally thousands of years. Archaeological excavations in China have discovered evidence that cannabis seeds and oil have been used as food in that region for more than 10,000 years. Already in the year 1,000 B.C.E. Indian Hindu culture has been celebrating the effects of ingesting marijuana with a drink called Bhang, made from crushed Cannabis and Ghee. Bhang is now synonymous with the Holi Indian festival, where participants cover their feet with colored powders and drink a lot of Bhang with Thandai.
Cooking with marijuana also became very popular in ancient Arab culture, since the Quran explicitly prohibits the use of alcohol. Europe was not far behind, as an Italian publication from 1474 describes a recipe for "cannabis nectar".
And let's not forget the good old American custom of marijuana brownies! So remember that when you eat a candy infused with magic grass, you are participating in a tradition that goes back more than a millennium. Feel proud to honor our cultural heritage.
