Your Guide to THC & CBD Edibles
Cannabis edibles offer one of the most popular and discreet ways to consume THC and CBD. Whether you’re new to edibles or a seasoned connoisseur, there’s a wide variety of products available to suit your preferences—from THC gummies to CBD chocolates, fast-acting mints, and even edibles that may help promote restful sleep.
This guide explores the major types of cannabis edibles, how they work, dosage guidelines, effects, and what to expect when shopping for edibles at Sunnyside.
Types of Cannabis Edibles
Cannabis edibles come in many forms, and they vary in onset time, potency, and effect. Below are the primary categories you’ll find in Sunnyside’s dispensaries and online menu:
THC Gummies
Among the most popular types of edibles, THC gummies are available in various strengths, strains (indica, sativa, hybrid), and flavor profiles. These are great for recreational/medical use, microdosing, and discreet consumption.
Popular brands: Mindy’s Edibles, FloraCal Live Rosin Gummies, Wonder (Laugh, Love, Relax, Recover, Focus), Camino Gummies, Lost Farm Edibles, Good News Gummies, Ozone Gummies
CBD & CBN Edibles
These options are ideal for those seeking a more balanced or wellness-focused experience. CBD gummies may help promote relaxation without strong psychoactive effects. CBN edibles are often formulated to potentially help support restful sleep.
Chocolates & Cookies
Cannabis chocolates and weed cookies offer a delicious and potent alternative to gummies. These products are often higher in dosage and made with either THC, CBD, or a combination of cannabinoids.
Candy & Mints
Quick, discreet, and sometimes fast-acting, cannabis mints and THC-infused candies are growing in popularity. They’re often low-dose and ideal for daytime or first-time users.

How Cannabis Edibles Work
When you consume edibles, cannabinoids are absorbed through your digestive system. This process results in:
– Delayed onset compared to inhalation (30-90 minutes)
– Longer duration (4-8 hours)
– More potent effects due to conversion of THC to 11-hydroxy-THC in the liver
Compared to vaping or smoking, edibles offer a more gradual and sustained experience. Some newer edibles offer fast-acting effects due to nano-emulsion technology, like Good News Fast-Acting Gummies. If you’re looking for this type of experience, check the packaging label for the term ‘fast-acting’.
