Edibles Meaning in Cannabis Vocabulary

In cannabis terms, the word edibles means any product you can eat or drink that contains cannabinoids.

These compounds are naturally found in cannabis plants, including hemp. When a substance like THC or CBD is infused into a food item, it becomes an edible.

So if you’ve heard someone say they “took an edible,” what they mean is they ingested cannabis through something like a gummy, chocolate, cookie, or even infused milk, nuts, or honey. Yes, you read that right—there are recipes for all kinds of edibles out there.

At Mood, we keep things tasty and potent with lab-tested CBD edibles and THC options that pack a punch.

How Edible Cannabis Products Work

Unlike smoking cannabis—which delivers cannabinoids directly into your bloodstream through your lungs—consuming an edible means your body digests it first. It travels through your stomach, then your liver, where it gets metabolized into 11-hydroxy-THC.

This chemical process enhances the psychoactive effects and can result in a much stronger and longer-lasting high. You might only need small amounts to feel the full effect.

That’s why people often realize that edibles hit differently—especially when compared to other forms like smoking or vaping.

Enjoy all the effects without the smoke. Andy's Bakery is Mood's sweet-tooth corner of its edibles selection.

Edibles vs. Smoking Cannabis

Let’s break it down:

Smoking Cannabis:

• Immediate onset (within minutes)

• Easier to control your dose

• Effects wear off within 1–3 hours

• Involves inhaling combusted flower

Consuming Edibles:

• Delayed onset (30–120 minutes)

• More intense body high

• Effects last up to 6–8 hours

• Available in a variety of forms, from gummies to chocolate bars

Edibles are great for those seeking a more recreational or prolonged experience.

They’re discreet and flavorful and deliver potent results. A treat for long-term cannabis enthusiasts, these Mind Magic THC Gummies are available today.

Types of Edibles (Beyond Gummies)

Gummies dominate the market, but there are many other edibles out there. Here's a quick look at what’s possible:

• Gummies & Chews: Most common and easy to dose

  • Mood Gummies

• Baked Goods: Brownies, cookies, cakes

  • Andy's Bakery

• Chocolates: A rich, indulgent option

  • Delta-9 THC Chocolate Popcorn

• Beverages: Infused sodas, teas, and milk-based drinks

  • Mood's THC Beverages

While Mood specializes in clean, reliable gummies, it’s fun to experiment with homemade options using infused ingredients. Learn how to make your own cannabutter to get started.

How Long Edibles Take to Affect You

The time it takes for edibles to affect you depends on several factors:

• Your metabolism

• Whether you ate recently

• Your tolerance level

• The type of edible and how much THC it contains

Expect a delay of 30 to 120 minutes before you feel anything.

This slow onset is why it’s essential not to keep consuming until you feel the full impact of what you took.

At Mood, all edibles and their product pages are clearly labeled to help guide safe and enjoyable use.

Benefits of Consuming Edibles

Edibles offer unique advantages over other forms of cannabis:

• Smoke-Free: No irritation to lungs or throat

• Discreet: No smell, no clouds

• Flavorful: Tasty THC treats you actually enjoy

• Long-Lasting: Up to 8 hours of effects

• Precise Dosing: Especially with lab-tested gummies

Mood products are formulated to help you get consistent results, whether you’re looking for a buzz or just better vibes.

Are Hemp Edibles Legal?

Yes. All of Mood’s edibles are made from hemp, not marijuana, and contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight—making them federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.

We’re strict about compliance, so you can enjoy your product worry-free. Just keep in mind that individual states may have their own rules.

How to Dose for Your Tolerance

Tolerance plays a huge role in your edible experience.

If you’re new, start with just 2.5–5mg THC. More experienced users might go for 10mg or more.

Tips:

• Start low, especially with homemade recipes

• Wait at least 2 hours before taking more

• Take notes on what works for your body

• Avoid combining with alcohol or other substances

Mood makes it easy to track and control your dosage thanks to clear labeling and consistent formulas.

Homemade Edibles and Recipes

Want to try your hand at making your own? There are endless recipes using cannabis-infused honey, oil, milk, or butter. Just remember: dosing can be tricky if you're not precise.

Some people even try making edibles from seeds, stems, or flowers, but these parts of the plant generally contain fewer cannabinoids. Still, they can be infused into a base and used in creative ways.

Mood doesn’t sell DIY kits—but we make edibles so good, you might not need to.

FAQ: Edibles Meaning

What does "edibles" mean?

Edibles are food items infused with cannabis compounds like THC or CBD. They offer a way to consume cannabis by eating or drinking.

Are edibles stronger than smoking cannabis?

Yes, because THC is metabolized differently when ingested, the effects are typically more intense and last longer than smoking cannabis.

What are other forms of cannabis besides edibles?

Besides edibles, you can try flower, vapes, tinctures, or topicals. Each form offers a unique experience.

Are CBD edibles the same as THC edibles?

No. Pure CBD edibles don’t produce a high, while THC or THCa products are psychoactive and affect your perception.

Most THC and THCa products do, however, include CBD, which is important to keep in mind. To avoid a high, make sure the product is made with just CBD and/or other non-psychoactive substances.

Can you make homemade edibles?

Yes, many people use infused oil, honey, or milk in homemade recipes. Just be mindful of dosing.
