If Willy Wonka invented a weed chocolate bar, what would he name it? Willy’s Wacky Weed Bars … That might already be patented by Willie Nelson.
Have you been thinking about giving weed chocolates a try? “Canna snacks” are gaining popularity since weed legalization in Canada. Ingesting cannabis offers a unique way of experiencing the cannabinoids.
In this article, we’re talking about cannabis chocolate, tips for consuming and purchasing them and products you can find at Bridge Bud Supply in Lethbridge North, South, and West.
At Bridge Bud Supply, we’re committed to sharing knowledge and ensuring that Albertans get great value on weed products.
Let’s jump into the production of cannabis chocolates.
How are Cannabis Chocolates Made and What Do They Do?
Working with chocolate is an art. You need to temper it properly plus get the right consistency and temperature.
Depending on which cannabinoid the chocolate is infused with determines the effects you’ll feel. Most of our edibles are made with distillate while some are made with full-spectrum extract. Our labels at Bridge Bud Supply in Lethbridge North, South, and West highlight the word “extract” in purple if it’s a full spectrum product.
- What is distillate?
THC distillate is a purified form of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) that comes from cannabis. The process of distilling eliminates all compounds found in the plant including its lipids, terpenes and cannabinoids and isolates the desired cannabinoid.
- What are full-spectrum extracts?
Whereas distillates isolate one cannabinoid, full spectrum extract aims to capture the complete range of compounds in the cannabis plant like waxes, lipids, terpenes, and cannabinoid profiles.
Each option has its own advantages so chat with your budtenders at Bridge Bud Supply if you’re unsure what to choose.
How are THC Weed Chocolates Different Than CBD Weed Chocolates?
THC and CBD are cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant that are able to interact with endocannabinoid receptors found in our nervous systems.
- THC is a highly psychoactive cannabinoid responsible for the intoxicating and euphoric feeling you may experience.
- CBD is considered a low-psychoactive cannabinoid that can still affect your mood. It's associated with relaxation and ease but won’t make you feel intoxicated.
Cannabis chocolates can be made with exclusively THC or CBD or they can be blended to produce a mixed ratio of THC to CBD.
How Will Cannabis Chocolates Make You Feel?
When you smoke or vape a cannabis product, the smoke and the cannabinoids go directly into your lungs where they are absorbed into your bloodstream. Within seconds the compounds have made their journey to your brain for immediate effects.
When you ingest cannabis products either with edibles or drinks the compounds go directly to your stomach as opposed to your lungs. It’s in the stomach where the compounds are broken down and metabolized before being carried to your liver. From your liver, the compounds are absorbed into your blood where they make their way to your brain.
When you smoke or vape cannabis products the effects will come on much quicker and will disappear quicker. When you ingest cannabis, it will take much longer to feel the effects and they will hang around longer too.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Cannabis Chocolates
Here is a list of important things to consider before you eat cannabis chocolates:
- Read the label carefully to understand each dose
- Understand that the effects will take longer to kick-in and last longer too
- The effects you feel through ingesting cannabis could be more intense than when you smoke or vape it
- Start low and slow with no more than 2.5 mg of THC
- Wait at least 3 hours before ingesting more
