Effects kick in within minutes — far faster than solid edibles — and last just 2–4 hours. More predictable and controllable than traditional edibles, they're perfect for social settings and new consumers!
Read MoreSmoking cannabis is a form of combustion, which, simply put, is the process of burning something.
