Simply put, edibles are treats that have been infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). “Edibles” is an umbrella term that includes gummies, chocolate, baked goods, mints, tinctures, and drinks.
Welcome To The Dabbin' Cabin
We tend to think of the pot brownies as the earliest edibles, making their debut way back in the 1950s, but edibles have actually been around for centuries. In fact, the earliest edibles go back to 1000 BCE India in a drink known as “bhang,” made by combining ground cannabis leaves and buds with milk and spices. Today’s edibles are made from much stronger strains and mixed with tastier foods – this is especially true of edibles offered by premier recreational and medical cannabis retail shops like Alkaloid.
Edibles are a delicious way to enjoy all the goodness of cannabis without the smoke! Ingesting cannabis has many distinct advantages over other forms of consumption. Edibles provide cannabis connoisseurs with greater control over the amount of THC they consume, for example, as all edibles are clearly labeled with their THC content.
Many prefer edibles as an alternative to smoking. Lighting up causes the telltale odor of cannabis, which can draw unwanted attention during concerts, at home, or in places that do not allow smoking. Edibles are also a good option in situations where vaping is not possible.
Because of the way the body metabolizes cannabis through the digestive tract, edibles also offer a longer-lasting high. When smoked or vaped, the most potent effects of cannabis can last for 3 hours then taper off over the course of a few hours. When ingested, however, the most powerful effects of THC can continue for 12 hours.
While it takes only moments for the psychoactive effects to kick in after smoking or vaping cannabis, it can take up to an hour to feel the effects of edibles. The difference is due to the speed at which THC enters your bloodstream. The THC enters your bloodstream immediately after inhaling it, but the THC in edibles must go all the way through your stomach and into your small intestine before it reaches your bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, THC travels to your brain and binds with special receptors in your brain cells to cause the psychoactive effects.
However, ingesting THC through edibles can often produce stronger effects than smoking or vaping it. This is because of the way the body metabolizes, or breaks down, THC into smaller components, known as metabolites. Your digestive tract breaks down THC into the metabolite delta-9-THC, which binds more readily to the receptors in your brain cells, thereby giving you a strong buzz. When you smoke or vape cannabis, your body does not have a chance to break down THC, so you don’t get the full effect.

The next time you buy edibles in WA, come to Alkaloid!
Thankfully, the Washington cannabis market is in full swing, and the sheer volume of options when it comes to weed edibles is nothing short of impressive. While it can be difficult to narrow down a short list, some of the best edibles in Spokane include:
Drinkable edibles, which are also referred to as weed drinks, cannabis beverages, or THC drinks are simply beverages that have been infused with cannabinoids and are meant to be drunk instead of eaten. Several top contenders have brought forth weed drinks that customers love. A few good examples of the best edibles in Spokane in liquid form include:
Cannabis beverages have grown to be popular ways to use cannabis because the effects happen a bit quicker than with usual edibles. When you drink a weed seltzer or beverage, the cannabinoids are partially absorbed by the soft tissue in the mouth. Therefore, you may start feeling the effects in 10 to 15 minutes.
For those in social settings that prefer not to wait for effects, cannabis-infused beverages can be a happy alternative to regular edibles that may take an hour to kick in. And, you can easier achieve a scalable buzz without accidentally over-consuming.
