When I made our first trip to the recreational cannabis dispensary in Chicago, I was interested in edibles, i prefer a consumption method that doesn’t require a lot of extra gear.
- I don’t want to invest in rolling papers, trays, lighters or other paraphernalia.
I also hope to avoid mess, waste, smoke plus smells. I prefer that edibles are harshly simple… The label on the package provides a date for the sake of freshness plus a clear indication of the amount of THC plus CBD I’m getting. They make dosing simple. I was interested in gummies or brownies plus wasn’t prepared for the sizable selection of options… Just the array of gummies was a bit overwhelming. There are really a dozen brands of gummies available in every imaginable flavor from grape plus sour apple to passion fruit plus strawberry. The shelves of the dispensary are a treasure trove of taxing candies, mints, cookies, milk chocolates, colorless chocolates, dark chocolates, caramels plus peanut butter cups. There is an entire menu of cannabis-infused beverages, including mocktails plus cannabeer. I can buy drink mixes, snacks, shrimp snacks, cannabutter, cooking oil, marinara sauce plus even granola, some of the options are full-spectrum CBD while others are high in THC potency. I am aware that because of the absorption of cannabinoids through the digestive tract, the effects of edibles can take many minutes to settle in! Plus, the effects tend to be more intense than with other consumption methods plus can last longer… Every time I visit the dispensary in Chicago, I try a current genre or flavor of edible.
