THC edibles are foods or drinks that are enriched with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). They offer a discreet and smoke-free way to enjoy cannabis. The effect is slower to kick in (around 30 minutes to 2 hours) and lasts up to 8 hours or longer. Popular varieties include gummies, candies, baked goods such as brownies and cookies, and THC-infused beverages.

Beginners should start with a low dose of 2.5 to 5 mg of THC and wait at least 2 hours before topping up. Experienced users who prefer 500mg or 600mg edibles should increase the dose slowly to avoid overdosing.

In Germany, THC edibles are strictly regulated and only legally available with a medical prescription. As an alternative, we offer our H4CBD gummy bears are an alternative. H4CBD is a legal cannabinoid that offers similar benefits to THC. Visit our website to find out more and order your gummies today!

What are THC edibles?

THC edibles are foods or drinks that are enriched with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the substance in cannabis that produces the well-known "high". Instead of smoking or vaping, you can simply eat or drink edibles. They are super convenient, especially if you want to stay discreet.

Edibles come in many forms:

  • Gummies and candies: Delicious and easy to dose.
  • Baked goods: Classics like brownies and cookies.
  • Drinks: THC-infused teas, coffees and smoothies.

Why THC Edibles?

The biggest advantage of edibles is their discretion and long-lasting effects. While you notice something immediately when smoking, it takes around 30 minutes to 2 hours for edibles to take effect. In return, the high lasts longer, often up to 8 hours or more. Perfect if you want a longer-lasting effect without the smoke.

THC edibles are ideal for anyone who wants to avoid the health risks of smoking or is simply looking for an alternative consumption method that is inconspicuous and fits easily into everyday life.

Advantages of THC Edibles

Discretion and longer effect

THC Edibles offer a discreet way to enjoy cannabis without producing smoke or vapor. This makes them ideal for situations where you want to remain inconspicuous. Plus, the effects of edibles last longer than smoking or vaping. While the high from smoking sets in quickly and also wears off relatively quickly, it takes a little longer to feel the effects of edibles (approx. 30 minutes to 2 hours), but they often last up to 8 hours or longer.

Edibles are therefore perfect for anyone who prefers a long-lasting and constant effect and wants to avoid smoking.

How do cannabis edibles work?

Metabolism and duration of effect

Cannabis edibles work differently to smoked or vaporized cannabis. When you eat an edible, the THC is first digested in the gastrointestinal tract and then metabolized in the liver. This process takes longer than inhaling smoke or vapor, so it can take between 30 minutes and 2 hours for the effects to kick in.

However, the duration of effect of edibles is also much longer. While the high from smoking or vaping often wears off after 1 to 2 hours, the effects of edibles can last up to 8 hours or even longer. This is because the THC enters the bloodstream more slowly and steadily through the digestive tract.

This slow and steady release makes Edibles ideal for those who prefer a long-lasting effect.

Dosing tips for 500mg THC Edibles and 600mg THC Edibles

Beginners:

If you're new to THC Edibles, it's important to start slow. Even if 500mg or 600mg edibles sound tempting, you should start with a much lower dose. Here are a few tips for beginners:

  • Start low: Start with 2.5 to 5mg of THC and wait to see how your body responds.
  • Be patient: Since the effects of edibles can take up to 2 hours before they kick in, you should wait at least that long before consuming more.
  • Increase slowly: If you know the effect and tolerate it well, you can increase the dose gradually. But remain cautious and respect the potency of edibles.

Experienced users:

For those who already have experience with THC edibles, higher dosages can be considered. However, caution is advised:

  • Know your limit: Even experienced users should know how much THC their body can tolerate. 500mg or 600mg edibles can be very strong.
  • Split the dose: Instead of consuming the entire amount at once, divide it into smaller portions to better control the effects.
  • Keep an eye on the effects: Even if you are experienced, too high a dose can trigger unpleasant side effects such as anxiety, paranoia or dizziness.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced, it is always important to listen to your body and use THC edibles responsibly.

Popular variants: Cannabis Edibles and Edibles THC Gummies

Gummies and candies:

THC-infused gummies and candies are especially popular because they are easy to dose and discreet to consume. They come in many flavors and shapes, making them a delicious option. 500mg and 600mg THC gummies are particularly appealing to experienced users looking for a stronger effect.

Baked goods:

Classic THC edibles like brownies, cookies and cakes are also widely available. These treats are perfect for those who want to snack on their edible session a little longer. Baked goods can be heavily dosed, so pay attention to the exact amount of THC per serving.

Drinks:

THC-infused drinks such as teas, coffees and smoothies offer another great way to consume cannabis. They are particularly refreshing and a good alternative for those who don't fancy sweets. Drinks can also come in different strengths, so pay attention to the dosage here too.

These popular varieties offer a variety of ways to enjoy THC edibles. Whether you prefer something sweet, savory or liquid, there's sure to be an edible to suit your preferences.

Cannabis edibles recipe: THC Gummies

If you want to make your own cannabis edibles in the form of delicious gummies, it's not that difficult. Here's a simple recipe you can try at home.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup fruit juice (of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 3 packets of gelatine (uncolored)
  • 1-2 grams cannabis oil or tincture (depending on desired strength)
  • Silicone gummy bear molds

Instructions:

  1. Prepare cannabis oil or tincture:
    Make sure you are using a high quality cannabis oil or tincture that is decarboxylated and therefore has THC activated.
  2. Make a liquid base:
    In a small saucepan, heat fruit juice, water and lemon juice over medium heat. Do not bring to a boil.
  3. Sweeten: Add
    honey or agave syrup and stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
  4. Stir in the gelatine:
    Slowly stir in the gelatine, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. The mixture should be smooth and uniform.
  5. Add cannabis oil or tincture:
    Gently stir in the cannabis oil or tincture until well combined.
  6. Pour and chill:
    Pour the mixture into the silicone molds. It is best to use a small measuring cup or pipette to distribute the liquid evenly. Place the molds in the refrigerator and leave to set for at least 2 hours.
  7. Demold and store:
    As soon as the gummies are firm, press them out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
