Cannabis Edibles Common Questions Answered
Here are some the questions we hear most often about cannabis edibles questions our customers ask our team:
How long do cannabis edibles take to take effect?
Cannabis edibles generally take between 45 minutes and 2 hours to begin working. The time to onset depends on individual body chemistry, food intake, and prior cannabis use. We strongly recommend waiting a full hour or more before taking additional product.
How much do cannabis edibles typically run at Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreational?
Prices vary depending on the type of product, brand, and potency. Starter options like small-dose items are frequently available from $5–$10, while higher-end boxes, artisan products, or multi-serving packages sometimes go between $20 and $60. Staff at our location will walk you through current pricing.
What is the difference between THC edibles and CBD edibles?
THC edibles are infused with THC, which is responsible for the euphoric, intoxicating effects. CBD edibles are made with CBD and generally do not produce a noticeable euphoric experience.

Our staff consistently advises beginning with the lowest available dose and giving the edible adequate time before deciding whether to consume more. Our knowledgeable budtenders can always guide new consumers to the best starting option.
How long do the effects of cannabis edibles typically continue?
The effects of cannabis edibles typically last anywhere from four to ten hours, with the most pronounced effects arriving somewhere between one and four hours after eating.
