Shopping for edibles
I prefer these options over alcohol.
I love shopping for cannabis edibles. Living in a state where recreational weed is legal provides wonderful accessibility. Plus, I’m located in one of the larger cities where there are multiple dispensaries operating. Some are very big, modern facilities and others are more boutique-style shops. There are dispensaries with on-site bakeries that make their cannabis-infused edibles fresh everyday. Because of the popularity of cannabis edibles, there is a huge selection of options. I am a fan of the traditional gummy. They are especially tasty and simple. It’s easy to be accurate with dosing, and I can even cut them into halves or quarters. I can eat a gummy without anyone realizing I’m consuming cannabis. All types of edibles are discreet, avoiding the smoke, odors and ash of smoking. While the effects take quite a bit longer to set in, they are far more intense. I’ve learned to wait anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour before consuming more. Plus, the effects can last for hours. Some of my favorite edibles are chocolate bars, cookies, mints and suckers. Just recently, I’ve started experimenting with cannabis-infused beverages. They are considered an edible, but due to sublingual absorption of cannabinoids, the effects set in more quickly. My nearby dispensary carries cannabeer, mocktails, colas, lemonades and tonics. I prefer these options over alcohol. I can get a mild version of psychoactive effects without a hangover or health concerns. The cannabis drinks are surprisingly tasty, convenient and portable. With a selection of flavors of indicas, hybrids, sativas and CBD, I can always find the perfect fit for any activity.
