Mr Sameer Wankhede explained, “A cannabis edible or Edible Weed Pot Brownie is a food product (either homemade or produced commercially) that contains cannabis extract as an active ingredient. Edible Weed Pots are a way to consume cannabis. Cannabis edibles may affect people for a longer period of time than smoked cannabis. The important base to all food edibles is that it has fat that has been infused with THC. In other words, any food that contains butter, oil, milk, or any fatty substance can be turned into an edible. Examples of cannabis-infused foods include baked goods, candy, potato chips, and more. One may not be able to distinguish between regular baked goods and those containing cannabinoids which tend to have a slightly green tinge and often emit a faint cannabis smell.”
