Recently, cannabis-infused edibles have become legal for sale in Canada! These edibles include infused snacks, desserts, drinks, teas, and more. Dosing with edibles can be tricky, which is why it is important to START LOW and GO SLOW. The effects of edibles can take between 2-3 hours to kick in, and the effects can last anywhere from 4-12 hours. The most common mistake people make is taking another dose after taking the initial dose due to impatience. For some, this can caus...e some unpleasant side effects.
