How do you shmuu?

[An Rí]

There are several creative and versatile ways to consume edibles, catering to different tastes, desired effects, and dietary preferences. Here are the main types:

• Brownies, cookies, cakes: Classics like cannabis brownies remain popular because they’re easy to make and distribute cannabinoids evenly.
• Pastries and muffins: These offer more variety, allowing flavors and ingredients to complement the cannabis infusion.
• Gummies: A popular choice for their flavor variety and precise dosing. They’re discreet, easy to carry, and come in a wide range of doses and flavors.
• Hard sweets/candies and lollipops: These dissolve slowly in the mouth, potentially allowing some cannabinoids to be absorbed sublingually (under the tongue) for faster onset.
• Teas and coffees: Infused tea and coffee are often made with cannabis tinctures, oils, or powders, creating a relaxing or energizing drink depending on the strain used.
• Juices, sodas, and infused waters: Many brands offer cannabis-infused beverages with low-calorie, refreshing options. Some are designed to mimic the effects of a mild alcohol buzz.
• Non-alcoholic wines and beers: These mimic traditional drinks but use THC or CBD instead of alcohol for a new kind of social drinking experience.
• Chocolate bars: Often available in different varieties like milk, dark, or white chocolate. The rich fat content of chocolate helps with cannabinoid absorption.
• Truffles and caramels: Gourmet options like truffles and caramels allow for high-quality, artisanal cannabis-infused treats with a luxurious twist.
• Chips and popcorn: These snacks can be infused with cannabis oil or butter, offering an alternative for those who prefer savory over sweet.
• Crackers and nuts: Infused with cannabis oil, these provide a dose in every bite and often have added protein or fibre.
• THC or CBD capsules: These offer a measured dose of cannabinoids in a pill form, ideal for people who want to avoid the taste of cannabis or are looking for a consistent dose.
• Soft gels: Easier to swallow and break down quickly in the body, these provide a quicker onset than harder capsules.
• Tinctures: Usually taken sublingually for faster onset but can also be added to food or drinks. They’re versatile and easy to dose accurately.
• Cooking oils: Cannabis-infused oils like olive, coconut, or MCT oil can be used in cooking or baking, allowing you to make your own infused meals or snacks at home.
• Cannabis powder: Water-soluble and flavorless, cannabis powder can be added to drinks or food. It’s popular in beverages for its fast-dissolving and low-calorie profile.
• Infused honey: Great for adding to tea, yogurt, or toast for a sweet, infused treat.
• Maple and agave syrups: Ideal for those looking to avoid processed sugar, and they can be used as toppings or in recipes.
• Cannabutter: Classic cannabutter can be spread on toast or used in baking. It’s a fundamental ingredient in many homemade edible recipes.
• Nut butters: Infused peanut or almond butters are a great option for quick snacks or cooking.

Each of these options provides different onset times, flavors, and experiences, so you can explore and find the best fit for your needs and preferences.
