All About Edibles
Deliciously effective
Cannabis-infused foods and beverages, aka edibles, have come a long way from the days of “magic” brownies. Today, you can find a range of delicious options with precise dosing and tailored effects for any occasion.
Edibles are reliable, dosable, and portable, and come in a variety of crave-worthy formats to suit every taste. For new cannabis users, edibles can be an excellent way to get started and familiar with this plant and its effects.
Why choose edibles?
Familiar & Accessible
Food is an easy, familiar consumption option that is accessible (and appealing) to everyone.
Sustained Effects
Edibles result in a more gradual and longer-lasting psychoactive effect than inhalation.
Healthier Alternative
Edibles allow you to enjoy cannabis without the negative side effects of smoking.
Discreet
With no obvious smell or annoying accessories, edibles can be ingested openly and transported discreetly.
Reliable
Kiva's precisely-dosed products allow you to choose and control your desired experience.
Complementary
Edibles can serve as a supplement to inhalables as a way to extend and enhance your experience.
What to Expect with Edibles
Edibles produce a more sustained effect than other methods of consumption. This is because, when eaten, the cannabinoids (like THC, CBD + CBN) are metabolized and converted by the liver, which is not the case with smoking or vaping. The result is a whole-body effect that stays in the bloodstream for a longer period of time.
Dosing
Always start small with 5MG of THC or less and wait 2 hours for the full effects before consuming more. Kiva’s precise products make it especially easy to find the dose that delivers your desired experience.
Onset
It will take 15 minutes - 2 hours to feel the effects from your edible. Your exact wait time depends on your metabolism, height, weight, prior cannabis experience, and how much food is already in your stomach.
Duration
Effects will last roughly 4-6 hours, though unusually high doses can last for more than 24 hours. Be mindful of your tolerance and increase your dose in small increments to avoid an overwhelming experience.
Edibles for Every Occasion
Sleep
Edibles create a naturally long-lasting calming effect that can help ease tensions and help you drift off to sleep.
Social
Edibles can enhance every communal experience - from a delectable meal to a dazzling concert - by reducing your angst, boosting your mood, and pleasantly amplifying sights and sounds.
Relaxation
Edibles help you relax on your own terms by offering a natural way to let your worries go, enjoy the present moment, and manage the stress of daily life.
Exercise
A low dose helps many users stay focused and energized while elevating the enjoyment of physical exercise.
Recovery
Talk to your doctor to discover how cannabis might help you manage your condition.
Romance
Go with the flow without your mind getting in the way. Edibles’ ability to provide sustained sensory enhancement is ideal for amorous and adventurous couples.
The Low Dose Lowdown
Consuming cannabis in small, subtle amounts is called microdosing. This approach empowers you to tailor your dose with remarkable precision and accuracy, instilling confidence in your edibles experience.
Microdoses help many users feel the mood-balancing benefits of cannabis with minimal psychoactive effects. This means less impact on your focus and energy levels, and more opportunities to integrate cannabis into your daily life.
