Cannabis edibles are one of the fastest-growing product categories in Manitoba. From THC gummies to infused beverages, edibles offer a smoke-free, discreet, and long-lasting way to enjoy cannabis. Here's everything you need to know.
Types of Cannabis Edibles
Gummies
The most popular edible format. Available in a variety of flavours, THC levels, and ratios (THC-only, CBD-only, or balanced). Easy to dose — each gummy is typically 2.5mg or 5mg THC.
Chocolates
Cannabis-infused chocolate bars and bites. Available in milk, dark, and white chocolate varieties. Often come in scored pieces for easy dosing.
Beverages
Cannabis-infused drinks including sparkling water, iced tea, lemonade, and more. Fast-acting compared to other edibles — effects can start in 15-30 minutes thanks to nano-emulsion technology.
Oils & Capsules
Cannabis oils (taken under the tongue or added to food) and capsules. Great for precise dosing and consistent effects.
How Edibles Work
Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles are processed through your digestive system. This means:
- Slower onset: 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel effects
- Longer duration: Effects can last 4-8 hours
- Stronger body effects: THC is converted to 11-hydroxy-THC in the liver, which can feel more potent
Dosing Tips for Beginners
The golden rule of edibles: start low, go slow.
- First time? Start with 2.5mg THC
- Wait at least 2 hours before taking more
- Don't mix with alcohol or other substances
- Eat a meal first — edibles on an empty stomach hit harder
- Keep CBD on hand — it can help counteract too-strong THC effects
