Cannabis edible/ja: Difference between revisions

A '''cannabis edible''', also known as a '''cannabis-infused food''' or simply an '''edible''', is a [[Food|food item]] (either homemade or produced commercially) that contains [[Comparison of phytocannabinoids#Decarboxylation Conversion Temperatures|decarboxylated cannabinoids]] (cannabinoid acids converted to their orally bioactive form) from [[cannabis extract]] as an [[active ingredient]]. Although ''edible'' may refer to either a food or a drink, a '''cannabis-infused drink''' may be referred to more specifically as a '''liquid edible''' or '''drinkable'''. Edibles are one of several methods used to consume cannabis. Unlike smoking, in which cannabinoids are inhaled into the lungs and pass rapidly into the bloodstream, peaking in about ten minutes and wearing off in a couple of hours, cannabis edibles may take hours to digest, and their effects may peak two to three hours after consumption and persist for around six hours. The food or drink used may affect both the timing and potency of the dose ingested.
