Edibles, explained.
An edible is cannabis you eat or drink — and that small change reshapes everything: how the label reads, how the milligrams add up, and how long the whole thing takes.
What this section is
An edible is simply cannabis you swallow instead of inhale. But that one difference changes almost everything about the experience. The label carries different numbers. The milligrams need different math. And the clock runs slower — on both ends.
This section is the manual for the package in your hand. What the different forms are and how they're made. How to do the division on any label. And why edibles follow a different set of rules than smoked or vaped cannabis. No hype, no rankings — just what the words on the package mean.
