After it\u2019s been extracted from the plant, it\u2019s then cooked into a variety of foodstuffs. CBD edibles are preferred by some patients because\u00a0<\/span>cannabidiol (CBD)<\/span><\/a> provides highly therapeutic pain management and, when cannabis is ingested, the effects last 2-4 hours longer than smoking or vaping.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here in this guide we\u2019ll go over everything you need to know about CBD edibles, where to find them, and what types to look for.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [Click any of the section titles below to jump there]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re trying to buy CBD edibles in the state of California, you\u2019ll need to have your CA medical marijuana recommendation<\/a>\/card before you can legally purchase. Even though CBD doesn\u2019t have any psychotropic effects and won\u2019t get you \u201chigh\u201d (that’s caused by\u00a0<\/span>tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)<\/a>)<\/span>, you\u2019ll still need a doctor’s written approval to\u00a0purchase CBD infused cannabis products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In California? Click here to order cannabis delivery online from dispensaries in your area. Choose from thousands of products, compare prices, and get doorstep delivery in about an hour!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But don\u2019t worry, getting your doctor’s recommendation is easy, and <\/span>NuggMD<\/span><\/a> makes it even easier. Use NuggMD\u2019s online evaluation services to get both your medical marijuana recommendation and ID card online in less than 15 minutes!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In California, the only legal place to get\u00a0any kind of edibles is directly from a dispensary storefront or delivery service<\/b>. Unfortunately, you won\u2019t be able to get products shipped to you by mail from dispensaries, only via courier hand-delivery. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Likewise, CBD edible companies can\u2019t legally sell their products directly to patients; instead, these California companies only sell\u00a0their products wholesale directly to medical marijuana dispensaries. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But you might be wondering, where can I get the best CBD products? You can use search engines like Google and Weedmaps, or save yourself the trouble and order through the world’s largest online cannabis\u00a0delivery marketplace<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Nugg<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Use this simple online delivery service and have CBD chocolates, CBD candy, CBD gummies, and other CBD infused products quickly delivered to your home address. And, if you\u2019ve used NuggMD to become a legal marijuana patient, you\u2019ll instantly get $20 for your first delivery!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watch out for anyone or any company claiming to send edibles through standard mail, UPS or FedEx. Not only do you risk getting inferior products, it\u2019s illegal and you could risk prosecution.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are two different types of CBD, but each isn\u2019t created equal. Cannabis CBD is extracted from CBD rich plant material and is used to <\/span>treat a variety of medical conditions<\/span><\/a> like epilepsy, depression and inflammation. The key is a balance of high CBD and low THC, or a lower, equal ratio of CBD and THC.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the other hand, hemp CBD is used in the creation of industrial goods like paper, rope and clothing, and contains an extremely small amount of CBD, not enough to be considered medically beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beware of sites like <\/span>healthyhempoil.com, ushempwholesale.com<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>buycbd.co <\/span><\/i>that sell hemp CBD edibles claiming healing properties. <\/span>Remember, these online retailers sell hemp oil seed derived CBD edibles \u201clegally and internationally\u201d that serve no recreational or medicinal purposes.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not only will these CBD products provide you with no medicinal benefits, the distribution of CBD remains illegal, no matter what form it takes. Companies with access to hemp oil have an agricultural license for maintaining and harvesting hemp crops for industrial purposes. In order to do so, they must have permits and abide by strict regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately, the DEA considers all extracts of cannabis to be a <\/span>Schedule I<\/span><\/a> substance, so you\u2019re much better off going through an established medical marijuana dispensary or delivery service for your high CBD edibles.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THC and CBD<\/a> are two cannabinoids that work together, have different individual effects, and can be used in different ratios to treat different symptoms. Generally, if you\u2019re using cannabis medicinally,\u00a0you’ll find most products are high in THC and relatively low in CBD; but that’s not to say\u00a0each product category doesn’t have its fair share of CBD-dominant products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THC heals your body while giving you that pleasant, psychoactive \u201chigh\u201d feeling, and activates both of the internal <\/span>cannabinoid receptors<\/span><\/a> found in the body, <\/span>CB1<\/span>\u00a0and CB2<\/span>. The CB1 receptors are located throughout the brain, central nervous system, and corresponding organs; CB2 receptors are related to a person\u2019s immune system and located in organs like the spleen and tonsils.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike THC, CBD is a potent healer that won\u2019t get you high, and doesn\u2019t have much bonding affinity to either the CB1 or CB2 receptors. Instead it counteracts the psychotropic effects of THC like anxiety and paranoia by blocking THC at the CB1 receptor, nulling its psychoactive effects.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It also benefits the body\u2019s protective endocannabinoid response by suppressing the enzyme that breaks down one the body\u2019s own cannabinoids, <\/span>anandamide<\/span><\/a>. The more anandamide, the greater the cannabinoid activation will be.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Different ratios of the two cannabinoids produce different effective treatments. <\/span>Charlotte\u2019s Web<\/span><\/a> is a high CBD\/low THC strain (20:1 CBD:THC) used for treating seizures; <\/span>Harlequin<\/span><\/a> (5:2 CBD:THC) is used for chronic pain and anxiety; and <\/span>ACDC<\/span><\/a> (22:1 CBD:THC) helps treat people suffering from pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, and the negative effects of chemotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether you order edibles online or in-person, the process can be simple, safe, and easy. As long as you make your purchase through a storefront or delivery service, the only thing you have to worry about is the quality and accuracy of your order.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n High CBD products are ideal if you\u2019re trying to play it safe, as <\/span>the high amount of CBD will take away any of THC\u2019s unwanted psychoactive effects<\/b>. The more CBD you take, the less likely you are to get the munchies, have lapses in memory, become drowsy, or experience anything like being \u201cstoned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although there are many types of California edibles out there, only a few brand name CBD edibles like <\/span>Kiva<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Sensi Chew<\/span>, <\/span>Bhang<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Cheeba Chew<\/span><\/a> and their offshoot Green Hornet<\/span>\u00a0provide detailed information about their products, making sure that all ingredients are safe for consumption. They\u2019re lab tested and thoroughly reviewed by both doctors and patients.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When looking at CBD edible brand names,<\/span> be sure to look thoroughly for a\u00a0list of ingredients, THC:CBD ratio, strength, and do some research<\/b> on the product before you buy a CBD edible that might be lacking in quality or efficacy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you do come across any dispensary-made edibles, they typically don\u2019t come with much product information, much less the CBD dosage. Not knowing what\u2019s in them doesn\u2019t exactly mean that they\u2019re dangerous, but consuming a product you know nothing about isn\u2019t exactly safe either, and we wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Use personal discretion when making purchases both in-person and online. You should be cautious of products that are personally or carelessly packaged if you\u2019re unfamiliar with the dispensary. <\/span>If you\u2019re not sure about about the edibles\u2019 quality, don\u2019t make a foolish purchase!<\/b> You\u2019re better safe than sorry.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just like buying MMJ, the price of CBD chews, lollipops, drops and other CBD candies depends on a slew\u00a0of individual factors, mostly related to cannabis content ratios and culinary craftsmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat you'll learn in this post:<\/h2>\n
