Cannabis edibles are now legal in Canada.
Today (Thursday) marks the one year anniversary of the legalisation of marijuana in the country, and edibles, extracts, and topicals, are now allowed and are expected to be available for purchase in mid-December at the earliest.
Health promoter, Sara Tryon, recommends starting with a low dosage of THC and small amount, even if you’re familiar with edibles.
She adds to avoid overconsumption, wait at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours after your initial intake before consuming more of the product, as it can take up to 2 hours to feel the effects.
Tryon also says to ensure edibles are properly labeled and stored securely out of reach of children and pets.
