Discover the Magic of Edibles: 6 Things You Should Know

When in Doubt, Wait it Out

Have you ever heard the saying, "Patience is a virtue"? Well, that's especially true when it comes to edibles. Imagine you're taking a delicious bite of your favorite treat, but instead of instant satisfaction, you have to wait for the magic to happen. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours for the effects to kick in, and a whopping 4 hours to experience the full effect. So, if you're wondering why you're not feeling anything after just 30 minutes, hold your horses! Experts recommend starting with products that have 2.5 mg of THC (the fun stuff) or less, along with an equal or higher amount of CBD (the calming factor).

They're (Up To) 10/10

Picture this: a tasty little edible that packs a punch of relaxation and bliss. But here's the scoop: each edible can contain up to 10 mg of THC. Yep, that's the maximum amount allowed in a single edible. But remember, if there are multiple edibles in a package, the THC gets divided among them. So, if there are five edibles in a pack, each one may contain up to 2 mg of THC. Keep an eye on those labels, my friend! On the bright side, there's no limit to the amount of CBD that can be included in edibles. So you can find your perfect balance of calm and cool.

You Are What You Eat

Have you ever noticed that what you eat affects how you feel? Well, the same goes for edibles. Your experience can be influenced by what you've eaten, how much you've eaten, and even how fast your metabolism works. It's like your body has its own secret recipe for processing the magic. So, let's say you try 5 mg of THC on one day and have a totally different experience with the same amount on another day. It's all about finding your sweet spot, but remember, start low and go slow. Your journey into the world of edibles should be a delicious adventure.

What You See is What You Get

In the world of edibles, honesty is the best policy. You see, the amount of THC and CBD listed on the package is exactly what you'll find inside. The products sold on OCS.ca (our trusted marketplace) meet the highest quality standards set out by Health Canada. They follow the strict guidelines of the Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations to ensure that what's on the label is what's in the product. Unfortunately, the black market doesn't play by the rules, so you never know what you're getting there. Stick to the good stuff and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing what you're consuming.

Some Edibles Are Actually Extracts

Did you know that not all edibles are created equal? It's true! While most edibles come in tantalizing treats like cookies and gummies, there are also other options that fall under the "extract" category. These include oils and capsules, which work their magic in a similar way. The main difference? Extracts can contain up to 1000 mg of THC per package, whereas traditional edibles are limited to 10 mg per package. So, whether you prefer the delicious goodness of classic edibles or the convenience of extracts, the choice is yours.

They're Not for Kids

Let's get one thing straight: edibles are for adults only. They're like grown-up treasures that should be kept far away from the curious hands of little ones. The government knows how important it is to protect our young ones, so they
