Why Self-Controlled Edibles? - Do It Yourself Edibles Kits

Medicinal Edibles?

We all know there is a green revolution underway and that once prohibition is over, drug research will reveal the tragedy that it always was. Doctors the world over are already prescribing cannabis for a multitude of symptoms. But in many places where cannabis is legal for medicinal purposes, green buds are the only option for doctors to prescribe. Often this means smoking, which doctors are averse to recommending, for obvious reasons. A person can learn, with dedication, how to make his or her own cannabis infused edibles at home, but this is no simple feat.

In Canada, premade edibles are not legal and will not be legalized at our 2018 summer legalization event.

Edible products that are infused with cannabinoids hold the power to help an incredible number of people with the different symptoms that ail them. They have a stronger effect and last longer. But there are pitfalls. In most legalized states the maximum dose is 5mg or 10mg. Because a person builds a tolerance to THC quickly, these starter doses lose effectiveness for them, and due to the high price of low-dose edibles, ‘just buying more’ can be a barrier. In Canada, edibles are not legal and will not be legalized at our 2018 summer legalization event. So where do these people get their edibles? From the black market. The black market has been providing people with edibles for decades without a ton of incidents, but our main concern with them is twofold.

Concerns with black market edibles

1. Safety

When it comes to black market edibles, there is no way to know that they were made in a safe, sanitary kitchen. This doesn’t just imply that a bacterial situation could exist within the final product, but cross-contamination from other drugs is also a possibility. In the midst of the opioid crisis, is it safe to eat edibles from unknown sources?

2. Dosing

Dosing is never going to be 100% as our bodies react differently to cannabinoids, and what we ate or drank can influence how it affects us. But the weird way in which cannabis edible ‘portions’ have evolved on the black market makes it easy to screw up. Explain an edible that is one large gummy bear and says that there are eight doses within.

Under Canada’s current cannabis for medical purposes system, the Government permits only dried and fresh cannabis and cannabis oils. Although other cannabis products may not be sold, the regulations allow individuals to make edible products, such as baked goods, for their own consumption.
