Why make edibles
Why spend time in the kitchen when you could roll a joint in a fraction of the time? What edibles lack in speed (to make) they make up for in length of effects. An edible high produces a different experience than smoking, and can last for several hours, up to four times longer than a joint.
Edibles are also discreet and easy to make – if you can read a recipe, you can make edibles. If you can’t or don’t smoke, edibles are a great way to get a dose of cannabinoids as needed, without people around you knowing what you’re doing. For many cannabis consumers, a little discretion often goes a long way.

Common mistakes with edibles
- Don’t eat too much at once. Start with a low-dose edible and go slowly – giving the food at least two hours to process into your digestive tract and take effect. It can be easy to eat too many edibles at once because of the delayed onset, but edibles can hit twice as strong as smoking, so moderation is king. If you don’t want to overdo it, use a low dose and see how you feel.
- Clearly label your edibles. Edibles can look like any other food, and, weed taste aside, it can be hard for people to know they’re eating cannabis. Eating an edible unintentionally can lead to a bad time, particularly if someone who doesn’t enjoy cannabis consumes it. (Here’s how to help if they do.) Avoid the situation entirely and clearly label the containers your edibles are in.
Dosing your edibles
This recipe calls for cannabis oil, but you can also use a distillate if you have it on hand. If you have to make cannabis oil, don’t skip decarboxylation. While the process of making edibles from flower to dish can take a few hours, every step is important. During the decarb process, acidic cannabinoids are transformed into the THC and CBD you know and love. Without this step, you’d get a serving of cannabinoids without the intoxicating effects.

- Fill a pot with water and turn on high heat. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Place oil in a large pot and warm over medium heat. Add vegetables and ground beef and, mixing often to break apart ground beef, cook until beef is cooked through, about ten minutes.

Chef's tip
To create an incredible vegan bolognese, replace ground beef with firm tofu that has been pulsed in a food processor, leaving larger pieces for texture. Enjoy!
