Question 1

What are cannabis edibles?

Accepted Answer

Edibles are food or drink products infused with cannabis compounds like THC or CBD. They are consumed orally and processed through the digestive system.

Question 2

How long do edibles take to kick in?

Accepted Answer

Typically 30 minutes to 2 hours, and occasionally up to 3 hours. Unlike smoked cannabis, edibles pass through the digestive system before THC enters the bloodstream. The liver then converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC — a more potent compound that takes time to form but produces effects that can last several hours. Effects vary depending on the individual, the dose, and whether you have eaten recently.

Question 3

Are edibles stronger than smoking?

Accepted Answer

The effects of edibles tend to last longer and can feel more intense, especially for newer users. This comes down to how the body metabolizes them: when digested, the liver converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, which is more potent than the THC absorbed through inhalation. Smoked cannabis delivers THC directly to the bloodstream in minutes; edibles follow a slower digestive path, which delays onset but significantly extends duration. Starting with a low dose is always recommended.

Question 4

Are your edibles lab tested?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every edible at 8th Avenue has been independently laboratory tested with verified cannabinoid data. They are also 100% organic — made from real fruit with THC sourced from small-batch living soil organic flower.

Question 5

Why did my edible not work?

Accepted Answer

Edibles are processed through the digestive system, so onset can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Factors like recent food intake, individual metabolism, and body weight all affect how quickly and strongly you feel effects. If nothing happens after an hour, wait before taking more — it may still be working. Our team can help you choose a dose and product that makes sense for your situation.

Question 6

What is a good starting dose for cannabis edibles?

Accepted Answer

For most first-time users, starting with 2.5 to 5mg of THC is a common recommendation. Edible effects can be significantly stronger and last much longer than smoked cannabis. Starting low and waiting is always the right approach. Our staff can help you identify a product with a dose appropriate for your experience level.

Question 7

What is the difference between THC edibles and CBD edibles?

Accepted Answer

THC edibles contain delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which produces intoxicating effects. CBD edibles contain cannabidiol, which is non-psychoactive and widely used for relaxation and relief without a high. Many products contain both in varying ratios. The right choice depends on what you are looking for — our staff can walk you through the options currently available.
