This month, patients were able to buy cannabis-infused products that include "edibles." This is a significant milestone as it provides another option for patients who cannot, or choose not to smoke cannabis. The Associated Press article "Medical marijuana edibles debut in Illinois, come with risks" left out important information on why edibles are so significant for Illinois patients.
Oils are derived from the cannabis plant and infused into chocolate, granola bars, drinks, gummies and other products. This is done in a highly regulated laboratory setting, and exact dosing is included on each package.
The diversity in delivery methods will help to relieve symptoms for more illnesses, including nausea, muscle inflammation and spasms, severe pain, autoimmune and nervous system disorders, and insomnia. Since Illinois has among the highest standards in the nation, patients can expect the highest-quality medicine. However, dosing for edibles and smoking are not the same.
Each time a patient inhales cannabis, they receive a small amount of medicine and experience instant relief. The cannabinoids in edibles are released in waves as it's digested. This means the effects of cannabis occur over 30 to 90 minutes and may last longer because edibles affect everyone differently depending on dosing, body chemistry and tolerance. Dispensary patient consultants are well-trained and will work with patients to determine the best strain and delivery method to treat their condition.
Edibles are a life-changing treatment that will bring relief to patients where smoking is not an option.
