As medical marijuana becomes acceptable in more and more states across the nation, so are the many ways of ingesting it.  One of the most popular ways to ingest marijuana is through edibles. Now it is no longer necessary to get the benefits of THC, the chemical in marijuana that relieves pain, sooths nausea and aides anxiety, through smoking, it is readily available in edible form.


Types of Marijuana Edibles:


Sweets—are the most common form of marijuana edible.  They are cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats and even candies.  Edible sweets come in different potencies, most common are 1x to 4x the THC potency.  Marijuana edibles can cost anywhere between $5 to $25 depending on strength of the THC and the size of the edible.  It is often only necessary to take a bite of two of the edible to get relief from pain or nausea.  Most marijuana edibles are made by reputable companies and will have ingredient labels just like to foods purchased at the grocery store.


Drinks—are another form of edible marijuana.  Lemonade, punch and soft drinks can be found at many collectives that contain THC.  These drinks are a refreshing alternative to smoking marijuana.  Marijuana drinks can cost between $10 to $15 per bottle.  Again, it may only be necessary to drink a small portion of the bottle to get the effects of the THC.  Try a few sips of the drink first, wait 20 to 30 minutes and see if you require more.


Condiments—can also be purchased with THC in them.  These marijuana edibles include salad dressings, butter, ketchup and mustards.  Now you can easily enjoy the benefits of THC without having to smoke.  You can just enjoy your normal meals, and get the THC in the condiments of your meals.

More and more states are allowing medical marijuana as legal form of medications.  More and more collectives are opening with all types of products that contain the THC that is found in the marijuana plant.
