This resource walks you through what cannabis edibles include, the types of items we carry at our Bangor, ME shop, and what you can realistically expect from your first — or next — edible experience. Read on to get informed.

What Cannabis Edibles Involves

At its core, the cannabis edibles category encompasses any consumable item that has been formulated with cannabis — most often THC, CBD, or a blend of both. Instead of going through inhalation, the active cannabinoids in edibles are processed by the digestive system, which produces an effect that is generally more sustained than combusted cannabis.

Cannabis edibles suit a wide range of consumers. Recreational users appreciate the convenience and discretion that edibles provide. People looking for a longer, more body-focused experience often favor edibles over flower or concentrates. The category is broad enough to accommodate both people new to THC and frequent cannabis consumers.

It is helpful to understand that cannabis edibles affect everyone differently. Factors like body weight, metabolism, and prior cannabis experience can all affect how an edible hits. That is why our experienced staff at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational is always ready to walk shoppers through the available products before they make a purchase.
