What are Edibles?
Edibles are cannabis-infused food or beverage products that are an alternative for those who want to get the benefits of cannabis without smoking or inhaling. These products come in a variety of forms, such as gummies, chocolates, pastries, and beverages, and are convenient and non-invasive to consume.
