Education! Education! Education!

Before we talk about the broad types and methods of consuming cannabis edibles we must mention safety precautions. Everyone will have different experiences with cannabis. The saying throughout the cannabis industry is 'Go low and slow' referring to dosing and titration.

Suggesting to the consumer to go with the lowest possible serving with the lowest possible amount of cannabinoids or THC. They should wait and see how they react. Suggest making a journal detailing their experiences with each strain and product. If needed, recommend adjusting the dosage at that point and forward. This will make the client aware of what works best for them and at what dosages. Educate your dispensary staff and the client.

Many innovative cannabis edible products are available to meet the needs of your patrons.  They might be looking for something a bit different. They might be looking for education about how to incorporate cannabis into their meal preparations. You should be prepared to educate your consumers about their options.

Product, Product, Product!

What kind of edibles is being offered to the medical and adult-use recreational cannabis markets in the US? Were you aware that edibles have evolved into a wide array of products? Beyond brownies, candy, mints, and gummies, edibles can now be almost any food type. Edibles can come pre-made and prepackaged or customers can use the cannabis flower they buy from you, to infuse their food at home. There seems to be no limit to what can be infused with cannabis.

The current market is answering the call from consumers who are looking for diversity and scope within their cannabis experience. Cannabis edibles can be discreet in small packages for travel. Not having an odor or the stigma attached that smoking or vaping has in public makes edibles a healthier, attractive product line. Edibles pack a powerful punch of cannabinoids and/ or THC and reactions last longer than smoking whole cannabis.

Awesome new cannabis edibles available at some dispensaries include infused soup mixes, pretzels, cannabutter, honey, ranch dip, crackers, even pizza, and much much more. Distillate can be purchased for consumers to add to desserts, baking preparations, or any meal plan without the taste or smell typically associated with cannabis.

Most people are curious by nature. The rise in the popularity of cannabis edibles is substantially greater since the pandemic started. Add in the benefit of being able to eat delicious cannabis-infused foods with purported health benefits and no respiratory issues. It simply makes sense that people would gravitate towards edibles.

2) Build trust with client's
