Why should I consider choosing a cannabis-infused edible?

People choose to consume edible cannabis over smoking or vaping for many different reasons.

  1. Eating an edible is a healthier way to consume cannabis. Some evidence suggests that smoking and vaping may be harmful to your health. 
  2. Edibles last longer. The effects of a cannabis edible last ~6-8 hours while the effects of cannabis after smoking only last ~2-4 hours. This is especially great for people using edibles to help them fall asleep and stay asleep. 
  3. Edibles are discrete. Despite cannabis being legalized, there is still some stigma that exists. Some people prefer edibles because they don’t smell and can be consumed discretely.
  4. Edibles produce more of a ‘body high’. Some people experience a different kind of ‘high’ with cannabis edibles. People often describe edibles as having more of a ‘body high’ and less of a ‘head high’ especially in lower dosages. Why? Cannabinoids and terpenes are metabolized differently depending on how you consume them.

What is THC and what does it do?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the cannabinoid that makes you feel ‘high’. It is one of the most prominent cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant. THC interacts with your endocannabinoid system which is made up of 2 receptors; cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). 

When THC interacts with your cannabinoid receptors it can do all sorts of things like;  mediate inflammatory responses, induce feelings of euphoria and relieve pain. 

For most users, the right dose of THC makes them feel euphoric and relaxed. In the body, THC can help reduce pain and has anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming THC may also make you feel hungry, or give you the “munchies”.

Please consult a physician before you consider using cannabis and/or THC products.

What is CBD and what does it do?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. This means that CBD will not make you feel high. 

CBD has a wide range of potential health benefits and there’s emerging evidence that suggests it can:

  • Help reduce anxiety
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Dampen the effects of THC 
  • Stop epileptic seizures
  • Help treat Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease in some cases
  • Help to treat some forms of cancer (anti-tumour effects)
  • Help treat mood disorders
  • Help people feel calm and relaxed in stressful situations
  • Help treat acne

If you’re a recreational user, CBD can help counteract the potential negative side effects of THC (like anxiety and paranoia). CBD can also be consumed on its own to relieve stress, relax and unwind.

Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it’s also often used as a recovery aid for athletes and has even been known to help some people treat acne. 

If you’re new to CBD, we recommend starting with a 10 mg CBD dose (1/8 of a CBD Jelly Bomb). If you’re not sure where to buy Twisted Extracts products, check out our list of our vendors

Product Information

What products do you offer?

Check out our Products page for more information about each of our different products including Jelly Bombs, Twisted Singles, Cara-Melt, Oil Drops and more. 

 

How do I know which product is best for me?

Finding the perfect product and dose for you can be a journey. We have a reputation for producing consistent and reliable edibles, which means you can have more control over your cannabis experience, every time.

We encourage you to use our product finder tool to find the best cannabis product for your needs. 

 

Start with CBD 

If you’re new to cannabis, you might consider starting with just CBD. CBD is often used to help with anxiety, pain and inflammation. It’s ‘non-intoxicating’ which means it won’t make you feel high.  

New to cannabis? How much should you take?

Tolerance levels for THC vary from person to person. Some people feel the effects of cannabis edibles in as low of a dose as 2.5 mg THC. We always recommend starting with a low dose (5 – 10 mg THC) and gradually working up until you find a ‘high’ that is comfortable for you. Our Jelly Bombs are designed to make it easy to section off an accurate dose depending on your tolerance level.

We also recommend trying our 1:1 Jelly Bombs (40 mg THC + 40 mg CBD) if you’re new to edibles. The CBD in our 1:1 gummies helps combat feelings of anxiety and paranoia that can sometimes be felt if you consume too much THC.

Indica or Sativa strains: Which is right for you?

Every individual responds to the effects of different strains of cannabis differently. Most people find Sativa strains to be uplifting, energizing and focusing. Some people even find it can help spark creativity. Indica is most often described as being relaxing, sedative and appetite-inducing. In general, we recommend that if you want to consume cannabis during the day time, stick to our Sativa products, and if you’re looking for something to help you wind down in the evenings, try our Indica products.

Still not sure? Use our Product Finder tool, or send us an email with any questions you have about us or our products to hello@twistedextracts.me.

How much do I take? How do I figure out a proper dose for myself without getting too high?

Everyone reacts and responds differently to cannabis-infused edibles. The #1 rule is to start low and go slow.

We recommend you start by consuming 5 – 10 mg THC (or 1/16 – 1/8 of a 80 mg THC Jelly Bomb). Please refer to our cannabis edible safety guide for more information.

 

What type of oil (extraction process) do you use?

We extract all of our cannabis oil in-house. We use a proprietary full spectrum cannabis oil to create our oil for all of our different product types.

For more information about our extraction and infusion process, please email hello@twistedextracts.me. 

 

What strains do you use in your product?

At this time, the strains we use in our Indica and Sativa products are proprietary as this is what determines our products’ unique and consistent ‘high’.

We use a naturally high CBD strain called Halley’s Comet in our 1:1 Halley’s Comet Jelly Bombs.

Do you offer CBD products?

Yes. We produce CBD Jelly Bombs in 3 flavours: Strawberry, Pineapple and Peach. Our Cara-Melts are available in a CBD-only option, and we also produce 3 CBD-only options of Oil Drops.

Our Watermelon and Grape flavoured Halley’s Comet 1:1 Jelly Bombs are made with a cannabis extract derived from the Halley’s Comet cannabis strain. It’s naturally high in CBD (ie. full spectrum CBD). 

Quick Tip: Try melting a CBD Cara-Melt in your morning coffee.

 

Will I fail a drug test if I use your CBD products?

Our CBD-only products do not contain any THC. We make these products with a CBD isolate specifically designed for people with this concern. You will not fail a drug test if you consume our CBD-only products. 

Disclaimer: All Twisted Extracts products are made in a facility that manufactures THC-infused products. While we have extensive quality control procedures in place, we do not accept liability.

 

What ingredients do you use in your products? Are they Vegan?

Some of our products contain common food dyes. If you are allergic to FD&C Yellow #5, stay away from our Green Apple Jelly Bomb and our Mango Jelly Bombs.

Our Oil Drops only contain: Avocado oil, CBD (and/or cannabis extract) and pure orange oil. They’re vegan and sugar free.
