Can you consume Cannabis? All you need to know about eating cannabis-infused foods “edibles”
Cannabis is a popular substance used for pleasure or to treat chronic illnesses. Cannabis can be consumed in different ways, by smoking or eating (edibles). People
often wonder if they can eat cannabis-infused products; well, yes, they can. Consuming cannabis-infused products dates back to 1000 BC. In the early 19th century, cannabis was introduced into Western medicine after being used in ancient China and India for centuries. In addition to treating cancer and chronic pain symptoms, edible cannabis is used for other medical conditions.
Often, people wonder whether cannabis-infused products can be consumed. Yes, they can. Although raw cannabis can be consumed, its effects won’t be the same as
those of heated cannabis. In the United States, the consumption of edible cannabis products for recreational use became popular in the 1960s, and today there are
many different types of edible products. Some edible cannabis items available for sale include gummies, candies, chocolates, pills, teas, and oils. Infusing butter or oil with cannabis and incorporating it into baked goods and other recipes is another way cannabis edibles suppliers can create their products.
Edible cannabis products contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the chemical responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis products, including edibles, which may result in euphoria and relaxation. THC is also thought to be the main chemical in cannabis used for pain-relieving. CBD is a chemical that is found in the Cannabis Sativa plant, but it doesn’t contain THC. CBD products can be legally sold in South Africa if you comply with the regulations and are registered with the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA).
When compared to smoking cannabis, many people believe edibles to be more effective, discreet, and safe. Both tobacco smoke and marijuana smoke contain a variety of toxins and carcinogens, which are substances that cause cancer. Their levels of toxicity appear to be comparable. Inflammation of the lungs, bronchitis, and various cancers are also brought on by cannabis smoke. Edibles may be safer in these ways because they do not appear to have these effects on lung function or the risk of cancer. However, edibles carry their dangers, such as excessive consumption or accidental ingestion. Excessive consumption may have harmful side effects, such as panic attacks, paranoia, memory loss, and heart failure.
