Frequently Asked Questions

CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are both cannabinoids associated with cannabis, but they have different effects. CBD is not generally associated with the intoxicating effects of THC. THC is intoxicating and can affect perception, coordination, judgement and reaction time.

CBD is not generally associated with the intoxicating effects produced by THC. Product formulations differ, so always check the cannabinoid information and ingredients on the specific product before use.

Cannabis edibles are food-format products containing cannabinoids such as CBD or THC. They can include gummies, chocolates, fudge, lollies and other infused treats. Because edibles are consumed orally, their timing differs from inhaled cannabis.

Edible timing varies. Product formulation, serving size, food intake, metabolism, tolerance and individual physiology can all affect onset. Do not assume an edible has failed simply because effects are delayed, and avoid taking another serving too quickly.

When THC is consumed orally, it passes through digestion and is processed by the liver, including conversion to metabolites such as 11-hydroxy-THC. This contributes to the slower onset and potentially longer-lasting experience associated with edible cannabis.

THC and alcohol can both impair judgement, coordination and reaction time. Using them together can increase impairment and make the overall experience harder to judge. The simplest harm-reduction approach is to avoid combining THC edibles with alcohol.

Do not drive, operate machinery or perform safety-sensitive activities while impaired by THC. Edible effects can be delayed and long-lasting, so there is no reliable DIY calculation that determines when an individual is safe to drive.
