Edibles are cannabis you eat or drink instead of inhale. No smoke, no smell, and a dose printed right on the package. They are the first thing a lot of new customers ask about at our
Boston dispensary
in the South End, and regulars keep a favorite in the cupboard.
What we carry
Gummies.
Most come as 20 pieces at 5mg THC each, 100mg per package. We stock solventless rosin gummies from
Harbor House Collective
and Treeworks, and full-spectrum RSO gummies from Cannatini. Some pair THC with other cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, CBN or THCV.
Chews.
Betty's Eddies
fruit chews and caramels, made in Massachusetts, in 10-packs at 5mg THC apiece.
Baked bites.
Double Baked cheesecake and cookie bites, 20 to a pack.
THC drinks.
Single cans at 5mg THC:
Buzzy
sodas and seltzers, Nectar seltzers, CQ spritzers and Pine + Star iced tea. Sold by the can from about $7, so it is easy to try a few flavors.
Packaged edibles usually run $20 to $35 before tax.
How to choose an edible
Dose matters more than flavor. If you are new, start with 2.5mg to 5mg, which is half a gummy or one whole piece, and wait. Edibles take much longer to feel than smoking or vaping, often 30 minutes to two hours, and they last longer too. Taking more because nothing has happened yet is the most common mistake people make. Drinks tend to come on a little faster than gummies.
After dose, look at the type of extract. Rosin and RSO edibles carry more of the plant's original compounds, while distillate edibles are more neutral in taste. Read the cannabinoid ratio on the label, and ask our budtenders what they like.
Edible terms worth knowing

Massachusetts purchase limits
The Massachusetts daily limit for adults 21 and older is the equivalent of two ounces of flower, which the state sets at 1,000mg of THC in edibles. That is ten 100mg packages. Flower and concentrates in the same order count toward the same total. Keep edibles in their child-resistant packaging and out of reach of kids and pets.
