From fast-acting inhalables to long-lasting edibles, there’s something for everyone — it’s just about knowing where to start.
Inhalable Formats (Fast-Acting, Short Duration)
These include pre-rolls, flower, and vape cartridges. They take effect quickly (usually within minutes) and are ideal for those looking for immediate results or a more controlled experience.
- Pre-rolls: Ready to light and enjoy — simple and shareable.
- Vape cartridges: Discreet, portable, and less aromatic than smoking.
- Flower: Classic and versatile for personal use or group settings.

Edibles & Gummies (Longer-Lasting, Slower Onset)
Edibles typically take 30–90 minutes to kick in but can last for several hours. They’re great for people who want longer, more body-focused effects without inhaling anything.
- Ideal for evening routines, travel, or discreet use
- Available in low-dose and balanced THC:CBD formats
- Pro tip: Start low (2.5mg–5mg) and wait before re-dosing
You can read a helpful dosing guide from Healthline if you’re new to edibles.
Tinctures, Capsules, and Sublinguals
These offer precise dosing and are great for people who want more control over their experience. Many are formulated with specific cannabinoid ratios to support balance, focus, or calm.
- Tinctures are placed under the tongue for quicker absorption
- Capsules offer familiar, no-fuss formats
- Ideal for wellness-minded shoppers and consistent routines
