This has left many of us in a consumer \u201cgrey zone,\u201d unclear about which products are legal and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/cannabis-is-legal-now-but-does-that-mean-its-safe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which are safe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Edibles are easily available online and marketing materials proclaim them as \u201csmoke-free\u201d and \u201cnatural\u201d ways of consuming cannabis. The truth, however, is more complex. Read on to learn about the differences between eating and smoking marijuana and the problems of ingesting unregulated products. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is an edible?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An edible is what it sounds like: a food product that contains cannabis. Usually producers lace the food with an oil containing the active ingredients of cannabis \u2014 THC and sometimes CBD. Edibles usually come as candies or baked goods, but you can also get them in a drink format.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What are the differences between edibles and smoking marijuana?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both ingesting and smoking cannabis will get you high. Both can cause the uncomfortable side effects associated with marijuana use. The major differences between the two methods of consumption are the duration of the high and the speed of its onset. Smoking or vaping cannabis causes effects within minutes, with most sensations wearing off after two to three hours. With an edible, the THC enters the bloodstream through the stomach and liver. This means that it can take up to an hour and a half for the psychoactive effects to be felt, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5260817\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> showing that subjects felt the peak of their \u201chigh\u201d three hours after ingestion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Labelling<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because edibles are still illegal, there is no labelling oversight. This means there&#8217;s no way of knowing if a product\u2019s THC or CBD content is accurate. Product labels also don\u2019t have to indicate a maximum amount to take. This leaves consumers unclear as to\u00a0how much will get you \u201chigh.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With cannabis-infused gummies for example, an unaware user might eat the entire package, when in fact one might contain enough of the drug to get you high. Baked goods are even more complex, as you\u2019re likely to have difficulty gauging the appropriate\u00a0serving size when instructed to eat merely one-sixth of a cookie.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is it risky to buy edibles?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any food product, it\u2019s important to consider the conditions it&#8217;s made in. The health department isn&#8217;t likely to inspect a company that&#8217;s making illegal products. Because of this, there\u2019s no real way of knowing if the company abides by basic food handling guidelines. Not to be gross, but how do you know the producers don&#8217;t use butter that\u2019s been sitting around unrefrigerated for two weeks? Or that they wash their hands before they start? Inspections can&#8217;t completely guarantee this either, but they can help ensure food handlers keep guidelines in mind and set penalties if they see they&#8217;re being ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to illegal producers of edibles, the provenance of the drug itself also becomes an important question. When a company produces illegal cannabis products, there\u2019s no way to be assured of the quality of the drug used. Legal cannabis retailers must conform to certain guidelines and have their product inspected, but illegal edible operations exist without oversight. Marijuana that is contaminated with mold, mildew or illegal insecticides can cause severe health issues for consumers, ranging from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/national\/banned-pesticide-found-at-medical-marijuana-company\/article34882109\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breathing problems to muscle pain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Buying edibles online means there\u2019s no guarantee that the drug in the product are fit for human consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How much is too much?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading that last paragraph might have you thinking that\u00a0making your own edibles is your best option. But before you go ahead with that, you\u2019ll want to consider some additional factors. We wrote earlier about speed of onset and length of high, and both are crucial to remember when using edibles. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common problem affecting users with edibles is thinking you haven\u2019t consumed enough because of the lag in effect. You may eat more, thinking you haven\u2019t taken enough to get the desired reaction. By the time you start to feel the effects, you\u2019ve already taken too much. And because the \u201chigh\u201d lasts longer and peaks later with edibles, if you do accidentally over consume, you could be stuck feeling the effects for hours. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Dosing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inconsistent dosing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a concern both when making your own and when purchasing (illegal) edibles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be quite\u00a0difficult to evenly distribute the drug throughout the product. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when purchasing cookies, gummy bears or whatever, we don\u2019t know what the producer\u2019s level of knowledge is or how they\u2019re dosing the product. It\u2019s possible that one gummy has one dose, and another has twice that amount of THC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While edibles can seem like a safer alternative to smoking or vaping cannabis, it\u2019s important to remember that they are still illegal. Purchasing cannabis edibles means using products that may not conform to health and safety standards. Some may even contain harmful additives. Waiting until they are legal and regulated is the best way to protect yourself from unnecessary risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The information presented here is for educational purposes and is not meant to replace the advice from your medical professional.<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>When using virtual care, all medical treatment is at the sole discretion of the provider.
