Marijuana Edibles in Phoenix, AZ

One of the many reasons that edibles are so popular is that they are received differently by your body – thus producing different effects. Just like any other food, edibles are metabolized by your body when they are eaten. Then, marijuana’s active ingredients (like THC) interact with cannabinoid receptors throughout your body. The resulting effects will depend on the specific edible.

Edibles come in all shapes and sizes, but generally, they look nearly identical to their non-cannabis counterparts. For example, a cannabis brownie looks – and tastes – just like a standard brownie does.

Of course, the cannabis industry has taken great care to establish expectations for product packaging and labeling, to prevent any potential consumer confusion. So, it’s highly unlikely that you’d ever “accidentally” consume a professionally-made and branded cannabis-infused edible without realizing it.

Reported by most consumers to have relaxing, body-centered effects, indica strains (and the edibles made with them) are widely selected by individuals in need of relief from pain, anxiety, and insomnia. Indicas tend to contain higher levels of CBD.

Described by many as the best strains for energy and uplifted moods, sativas (and sativa edibles) are popular with people who want to enjoy cannabis for focus, creativity, and motivation. Sativas are usually higher in THC.

A hybrid edible is one made with a hybrid strain of cannabis. Hybrids are blends of indica/sativa strains, resulting in a fall anywhere on the spectrum between the two. Thus, you will frequently see hybrids labeled as “indica-dominant” or “sativa-dominant.”
