Why Are Edibles So Inconsistent?

And the third category is full spectrum. That means everything that was in the cannabis strain makes it into that edible product, all the cannabinoids, all the terpenes are in there.

It's really how those compounds work together that produce the different experiences or highs from consuming an edible. And that's called the Entourage Effect. It's the way, the synergistic way, those compounds work together to produce a very specific effect or experience when you consume an edible.

And so the third one is, let's say an edible IS infused with full spectrum infusion method. Well what compounds are in there is actually really important to predict what high or what effects you're going to experience. So when it comes to terpenes and the cannabinoids, it's nice to look for an edible that has those on the label.

So that way you can see what effects you experience when trying that profile of cannabinoids and terpenes, and how they work together.

We do put those on our label, so we show what terpene profile's in there, what cannabinoids, and also what strain we use, as all of our caramels are strain-specific. We try to show as much information as possible, so you can really predict or estimate how our different edible types, or caramel types, will make you feel.

And the fourth thing that's really important to consider is that everybody's body is different. So here at Periodic edibles, our cannabis caramels are full spectrum. We make canna-butter, which gets all of the compounds, the cannabinoids and terpenes, into the butter, which we use to make our caramels. We put as much as that information on the label as we can, but everybody's body is a little bit different. So for most people from what we understand, this - you know, our Relax caramel or Active caramel, will apply for most people, but you could be different.

So you really have to experiment and try the different edible products, see what works for you, and really get your THC dose right. And then try that edible and see how it makes you feel, what experience do you have? And then if you like it or it works for you, figure out what's in that edible, how it's infused, what cannabinoids what terpenes are in there.

Once you know that, what the formula is and how it makes you feel, then when you go back out to buy an edible the next time, you can look for similar things in a different edible, or buy that same edible. One thing about our caramels is we consistently make the same formula over and over again. So if you try one of our products and it does work, you can feel really confident that it'll have the same effects the second, the third, the fourth time that you consume that product as well.

So just to recap really quick, first thing that's really important to make sure your edibles predictable and consistent is that edible is lab tested and there's no variance in the potency of that product.

The second thing is how is that edible infused? Is it infused with an isolate, a distillate, or a full spectrum edible?

The third thing is if it is full spectrum, what compounds are in there? What cannabinoids, what terpenes, look for those things on the label, that can tell you a lot about the effects you can expect when consuming the edible.

And the fourth thing is, everybody's body is different. It really takes a little experimentation, trying a couple different products that are infused with different methods, finding out what works for you. Once you find out what works and you find similar products or that same product made with that same formula, you can start to feel confident that it will be consistent and predictable the next time you consume an edible.
