People choose to consume edible cannabis over smoking or vaping for many different reasons.

1. Eating an edible is a healthier way to consume cannabis. Some evidence suggests that smoking and vaping may be harmful to your health.
2. Edibles last longer. The effects of a cannabis edible last ~6-8 hours while the effects of cannabis after smoking only last ~2-4 hours. This is especially great for people using edibles to help them fall asleep and stay asleep.
3. Edibles are discrete. Despite cannabis being legalized, there is still some stigma that exists. Some people prefer edibles because they don’t smell and can be consumed discretely.
4. Edibles produce more of a ‘body high’. Some people experience a different kind of “high” with cannabis edibles. People often describe edibles as having more of a “body high” and less of a “head high” especially in lower dosages. Why? Cannabinoids and terpenes are metabolized differently depending on how you consume them.
