Why Edibles Are Different

When you eat cannabis instead of smoking it, your body processes it differently. The result? A fuller experience that often lasts 4-6 hours. Many people find edibles provide deeper relaxation and more complete effects than smoking or vaping.

Finding Your Perfect Edible

We offer a variety of edibles at Gatsby, each with its own strengths. Our popular gummies make dosing simple and precise. Chocolate lovers can explore our infused bars and baked goods for a more decadent experience. Want something discrete? Try our mints or hard candies – they dissolve slowly and freshen breath while delivering effects.

We've even got cannabis-infused beverages if you're looking for a social alternative to alcohol. Whatever your taste, we've got options to match.

THC or CBD?

THC edibles give you the traditional cannabis experience – relaxation, mood enhancement, and that familiar euphoric feeling. They're perfect for unwinding after work or enhancing a weekend activity.

CBD edibles focus on comfort without the high. Many people use them daily for general wellbeing, making them a great choice when you want the benefits of cannabis while keeping a clear head.

Starting Safely

Here's the most important thing about edibles: they take time to work. Unlike smoking, where you feel effects almost immediately, edibles can take 30-90 minutes to begin working. This delayed onset trips up many first-time users who get impatient and take more too soon.

That's why we always recommend starting with 5mg THC or less. Give it at least two hours before taking more. Yes, two hours – it's better to take too little than too much your first time. Keep some regular snacks and water handy, and don't make other plans for the evening.

Even if you're experienced with smoking cannabis, approach edibles carefully. They process differently in your body, so smoking tolerance doesn't necessarily translate to edible tolerance.

Making Edibles Work Best for You

Want to get the most consistent experience from edibles? Take them with or after food. An empty stomach can make effects unpredictable. Plus, having some food in your system helps your body process the cannabis more evenly.

Remember that edibles can last 6-8 hours, so plan accordingly. Don't drive or operate machinery, and give yourself time to understand how they affect you personally.

Keeping Edibles Fresh

Store your edibles like you would any other food product – in a cool, dry place in their original packaging. Always check expiration dates and mark when you opened them. And please, keep them secure and away from children and pets.
