What Is a Cannabis Edible?
A cannabis edible is a food or drink infused with marijuana extracts such as THC and/or CBD. Edibles can include gummies, chocolates, baked goods, candies, and cannabis drinks. Instead of inhalation, cannabinoids are absorbed through digestion, which typically means a slower onset and a longer-lasting experience than smoking or vaping.

How Do Weed Edibles Work?
With edibles, cannabinoids like THC and CBD are processed through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream. Because of this, effects usually take longer to start, but can last longer compared to smoking or vaping. Many people choose edibles for a discreet, flavorful experience and a steady, extended effect window.
How Long Do Pot Edibles Last?
Edible effects vary by product, serving size, and individual metabolism. Many consumers report that edible effects can last several hours, with onset that may take anywhere from about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Because timing is slower, it’s generally best to wait before taking more.
How Do Cannabis Edibles Compare to Other Weed Products?
Concentrates like wax, shatter, live resin, or rosin can be high in THC and feel intense, especially for beginners. Edibles tend to be slower and more gradual, which some customers prefer.
THC vapes are portable, and effects often appear quickly. However, the experience may not last as long as edibles, which can remain active for hours due to digestion.
Tinctures and oils can be taken under the tongue or added to food/drinks, often with more controlled serving sizes. Compared to edibles, tinctures may feel faster and shorter depending on use.
Flower is a classic option with a faster onset and shorter duration than edibles. Many people like flower for real-time control, while choosing edibles for a longer, smoke-free experience.
How to Choose Weed Edibles

- Match format to lifestyle: gummies, chocolates, drinks, or candies
- Read ingredients: especially for dietary needs and allergens
- Choose lab-tested products where available and follow Oregon regulations

FAQ: Marijuana Edibles in Portland, OR
Do edibles expire?
Yes. Cannabis edibles can expire like regular food, depending on ingredients and storage. Over time, flavor and texture can change, and potency may decline. Always check packaging dates and store edibles in a cool, dry place for best freshness.
How long does it take edibles to kick in?
Edibles usually take longer to start than smoking or vaping because cannabinoids are absorbed through digestion. Many people feel effects anywhere from about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Wait before taking more to avoid an overly strong experience.
How much should I take for my first edible?
If you’re new, choose a lower-dose option and start with a small serving. Effects can build slowly and last for hours. A good rule is “start low and go slow,” and wait long enough to assess how you feel before increasing.
What does an edible high feel like?
People often describe edibles as more gradual and body-forward than smoking. Effects can include relaxation, mood lift, and stronger “full-body” sensation for some consumers. Because edibles last longer, choosing the right strength matters.
