The creation of confectioneries infused with cannabis, specifically a formulation for solid, flavored sweets, allows for an alternative method of consumption. This process involves incorporating a cannabis extract, such as cannabutter or a tincture, into a traditional hard candy base typically composed of sugar, corn syrup, water, and flavoring agents. The result is a discreet and palatable edible product.
These types of infused edibles offer advantages over inhalation methods, including a delayed onset of effects, longer duration, and avoidance of respiratory irritation. Furthermore, they provide a precise dosage option, which can be particularly beneficial for medicinal users seeking controlled relief. Historically, the use of cannabis in edible forms has been documented across various cultures, with modern applications reflecting advancements in extraction techniques and culinary practices.
