What Exactly Are Cannabis Edibles?

Edibles are ingestible cannabis products that have been made with cannabinoids. These products come in an enormous range of types — from gummies, chocolates, and baked goods. The key difference between cannabis edibles and other consumption routes is how the body processes the cannabinoids.
