Edibles, despite the fact that they deliver a potent and often long-lasting stone, are a main entry point to cannabis for many newcomers who might be more adverse to smoking or vaporizing. For comedian, television personality and best-selling author Chelsea Handler, cannabis edibles were a way to promote a healthy sleep pattern. Speaking at marijuana business event Hall of Flowers on Tuesday, Handler also addressed how her cannabis use has helped her cut back on alcohol.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s cut my drinking in half, which, for me, is a sentence I never thought I\u2019d say,\u201d\u00a0Handler<\/a>\u00a0said to a laugh from the audience. \u201cI really want to show people the way. This is healthy, it\u2019s growing from the ground. Let\u2019s all get on board with this, you know, the more the merrier.\u201d<\/p>\n Handler, who is launching her own line of vape pens with\u00a0NorCal Cannabis Company<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cat least one edible brand,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0spoke about her personal experiences with cannabis and her business desire to promote a line products that she could recommend to female friends. Interviewed by\u00a0Dr. Dina<\/a>, Handler also spoke candidly about her relationship to cannabis edibles. \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, I\u2019ll always try drugs if they\u2019re in front of me\u2026 because I want to be polite,\u201d she said when asked about her experimentation with edibles. \u201cI\u2019m not one of those people who goes crazy, but I\u2019ve been around a lot of those people that do. Usually if I\u2019m too stoned and I can\u2019t handle it, I know to lie down and just go somewhere, you know? I\u2019m not out and about doing that, at least I try not to be.\u201d<\/p>\n Handler said she got started with\u00a0Kiva blueberries<\/a>\u00a0and moved on to\u00a0gummies<\/a> before her interest in cannabis drove her to meet with different companies and growers and recognizing, \u201cOh, this is really just the beginning of an industry.\u201d<\/p>\n From there, Handler said she started getting more educated on the subject matter and sharing that information with others.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve enabled so many friends, my sisters, who never take cannabis, my niece who had anxiety,\u201d Handler said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen the impact it\u2019s had on people that I care about and I know from experience that when you can impact a small group of people in your life you can impact the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Handler said it was important to normalize the use of cannabis as something that helps people cope with whatever it is they hope to address.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d much prefer to take an edible before I go to bed than a Xanax or a sleeping pill,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s something that I did. I used to take sleeping pills all the time. I don\u2019t do that anymore, you know? I take an edible before I go to bed and once you do that for long enough, you don\u2019t even need an edible to go to bed, you just needed something to get you back to normal life.\u201d<\/p>\n While the\u00a0Hall of Flowers<\/a>\u00a0had an array of edibles on display, below are a few that are crafted with different forms of cannabis to infuse into food: distillate, canna-butter and rosin.<\/p>\n Distillate<\/strong><\/p>\n OLO<\/a><\/p>\n This new sublingual is fast-acting, as it is easily absorbed under the tongue. It\u2019s created with\u00a0distillate<\/a>, which is cannabis stripped from all waxes and other compounds, and comes in 5 mg THC servings designated by the effects it hopes to stimulate, such as \u201csocial\u201d and \u201cfocus.\u201d This product is essentially a Listerine breath strip with weed because it has the ability to keep your breath fresh and lighten the mood. Its low dose makes it a great starter edible for newbies.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Canna-Butter<\/strong><\/p>\n Big Pete\u2019s Treats<\/a><\/p>\n Canna-butter<\/a> is the OG of the edibles world and cookies are one of the first ways most people consume cannabis. Big Pete\u2019s Treats is a longtime favorite in the cannabis cookies space. Not only to their 10 mg THC offerings get you adequately buzzed, but as a cookie, they also taste moist and delicious. Big Pete\u2019s now also offers a CBD line, which is still a novelty in the cannabis edibles world. Big Pete\u2019s is also making big moves in the cookies space through a collaborative edible with Berner, the mogul behind the Cookies clothing line. <\/p>\n Rosin<\/strong><\/p>\n Atlas<\/a><\/p>\n These granola clusters are created with rosin, which is made by extractors capturing trichomes using heat and pressure. They come in 10 mg THC servings and include a blend of both indica and sativa flowers, as well as terpenes sourced from other food items. Owner and restaurateur Jeremy Weiss says it\u2019s this combination of full-spectrum\u00a0rosin<\/a>\u00a0blended with the food terpenes that sets these edibles apart. Full-spectrum means that the rosin used in Atlas\u2019s bites still contains the full cannabinoid and terpene profiles.<\/p>\n TELL US,<\/strong>\u00a0what kind of cannabis edibles do you like the best?<\/p>\n The post Chelsea Handler Uses Edibles to Sleep<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
