🍪 The Origins of Edibles: A World Tour of History
Anika kicked off with the global history of cannabis-infused treats, debunking the myth that edibles are a new trend. Did you know that the edible tradition stretches back thousands of years? Here are some highlights:
-India: Edibles date back to 1000 BC, with a spiritual drink called *bhang*, crafted from cannabis leaves and buds mixed with milk, sugar, and spices.
– North Africa: The Berber tribe’s *majoun*, a mix of fruits, nuts, spices, and hash or kief, was both a delicious treat and a meditative aid.
– Cambodia & Jamaica: In Cambodia, cannabis still spices up “happy soup,” and the Rastafarian “ital” diet includes cannabis as part of its cultural practices.
And, of course, we saw how the iconic “pot brownie” gained fame in the 1960s thanks to Alice Toklas’s famous cookbook. Edibles have truly been a beloved tradition worldwide!
🔬 Science of Edibles: How They Work and What to Expect
Heather then guided us through the science behind edibles, explaining how they differ from smoking or vaping cannabis:
– Digestion Matters: Edibles take longer to kick in because they are absorbed through the digestive system, which transforms THC into the more potent 11-hydroxy-THC, delivering longer-lasting effects.
– Stronger and Longer Effects: Though it may seem counterintuitive, edibles actually introduce fewer cannabinoids into the bloodstream than smoking, but their effects can feel stronger and last longer.
Pro Tip: Start low and go slow! Edibles can pack a punch, especially for new users.
