Most edibles sold within dispensaries are food products infused cannabis oils, beverages, and capsules. Popular edibles gummies or soft chews, and a variety of baked goods, chocolates, and beverages like sparkling soda water.\n\nDue to how edibles [metabolize](https://hellomd.com/articles/the-differences-between-edibles-and-flowers) in the body, the **effects come on gradually and typically last longer** – anywhere from 4-6 hours. Edibles are ideal for those who prefer not to smoke cannabis or for those who are looking for discrete options. \nHere are some pointers to help you get the most out of your cannabis-infused treats:\n\n- Everyone has a different experience. Factors like body mass, age, metabolism, gender, and body chemistry can influence the effects of cannabis.\n- Beware of the total milligrams per serving and adjust according to your tolerance.\n- Activation or onset time will vary. It can take an average of 30 minutes to two hours to feel the effect of an edible. Newer edible products can be fast-acting and the effect can come on more quickly – read the packaging.\n- It is always smart to start with a minimum dosage and work up slowly over a longer period of time. This way you can avoid a bad experience\n\n![Untitled41.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled41_256c8090e2.png)\n\n### Why People Consume Edibles\n\nDue to potency and their long-lasting effects, edibles are often a popular choice for people combatting a health condition. Some of the most common reasons for consuming cannabis edibles are conditions like **sleep**, **depression**/**anxiety**, and **chronic pain**. They can also be used for conditions such as neuropathy, cancer, or migraines among others.\nFinding the right edible for you can take time and may require some experimentation.
