Medical Marijuana Edibles for the Sweet Tooth

The P.R. Collective in San Pedro has a menu of medical marijuana products and derivatives that includes sativa, indica, and hybrid marijuana strains, clones, drinks, concentrates, and edibles. But of all the menu items, the edibles may be one of the more common and, perhaps, important products our member-patients use to medicate.

Edibles are an important part of the overall menu for any medical marijuana dispensary. Counter to some popular beliefs, there are a great percentage of patients who prefer to use edible marijuana products (versus inhaled smoke) to soothe the ravages of their ailments. Diseases and maladies such as Alzheimer’s, HIV/AIDS, Arthritis, Cancer, Crohn’s Disease, Glaucoma, Multiple Sclerosis, and other select disabilities respond equally as well to the cannabinoids and terpenophenolic compounds in edibles as in inhaled smoke. Therefore, like with traditional medical marijuana products which are smoked, marijuana edibles provide immediate and, in some cases, lasting relief from the effects of these terrible medical conditions.

Marijuana edibles have been long-recognized as an efficient medication against common disease side effects such as nausea, weakness, pain, spasticity, appetite loss, and wasting. Therefore, the P.R. Collective in San Pedro offers an extensive menu of marijuana-based edibles to meet every partiality and appetite. But of the many marijuana edibles items on the menu, nothing beats those that favor the sweet tooth.

Sweets are considered a sometimes treat in our everyday lives. Sweets are a comfort food, so it’s no surprise that edible sweets are a popular part of the medical marijuana edibles selection on the menu. When you’re feeling down, comfort hits the spot. Potbelly has a great selection of chocolate cookies, caramel crunch cookies, and cakes. Their pumpkin loaf is a favorite request item around the autumn season. The Venice Cookie Co. has chocolate bars, honey sticks, and candies – all infused with derivatives of medical marijuana. Kiva also has a great chocolate bar, by the way. The kind folks at Sensi Roots & Taste Bud Heaven offer a big (500mg) peanut butter cup that comes in either milk chocolate or white chocolate. They also have a great lollipop too. And if you’re perusing the edibles menu at our San Pedro location, ask us about the lemon squares! We get those from time to time. Of course, if you’re partial to sweets but tend to lay off the candy and chocolate varieties, the edibles menu has a great selection of Chronic Tonic drinks that come in delicious flavors such as Orange Orbit, Galaxy Grape, Paradise Punch, Lazy Lemon, and Blueberry. Each 16-ounce bottle contains 3.35g dry cannabis and 34mg THC.

One important note: edible medical marijuana products and drinks offer a much more potent THC effect than you would experience through a traditional smoke, so please begin with no more than a half portion of any edible product.

Chronic Tonic Medicinal Marijuana Drinks Now Available

Have you seen the P.R. Collective menu lately and checked out the complete line of consumable medicinals available to our member-patients?

Edible and consumable medical marijuana comes in a variety of forms. Most of our patient-members who use edibles to medicate are familiar with sweet breads, brownies, cookies, lemon squares, and pretzels. And although the P.R. Collective menu is always filled with an amazing array of medical marijuana edibles and consumables of all types, there are still some patient-members who are surprised to see that there are also a number of medical marijuana drinks available to them. And of the number of medical marijuana drinks available on the market, our member-patients have given rave reviews to the fruit-flavored Chronic Tonic line.Chronic Tonic Drinks

The P.R. Collective in San Pedro is currently serving the Chronic Tonic line of medicinal marijuana drinks from our S. Gaffey St. location. Each bottle of Chronic Tonic is compliant with California Health & Safety Code 11362.5 and SB 420. The Chronic Tonic line is available in a number of delicious fruit flavors. Member-patients are encouraged to check our Drinks Menu for current medical marijuana drinks offerings.

These types of consumables are fast-acting and convenient for medicating against periods of nausea, pain, appetite loss, and other symptoms of various disabilities and afflictions. Each bottle contains sixteen ounces of drink. One of the greatest benefits from medicating with marijuana drinks such as Chronic Tonic is the fact that the bottled doses offer ingredient and strength consistency that is sometimes hard to find in other edibles and consumables.

At present, Chronic Tonic brand drinks come in an assortment of delicious flavors such as Orange Orbit, Galaxy Grape, Paradise Punch, Lazy Lemon, and Blueberry. Each 16-ounce bottle contains 3.35g dry cannabis and 34mg THC in a glycerin carrier (enough for two strong doses). Given that each bottle of Chronic Tonic contains two doses of medical marijuana, it is a menu item perfect for tolerances low and high. Obviously, Chronic Tonic drinks, as with many marijuana medicinals, may cause drowsiness and other effects. It is strongly advised that you do not operate motor vehicles, heavy or dangerous machinery while medicating with Chronic Tonic. Do not mix this product with alcohol.

Medicating with Edibles

Between the two major plant types of medical marijuana, Sativa and Indica, there are a number of health benefits for those with debilitating diseases and other weakening maladies. Some strain types stimulate the appetite and reduce nausea and alleviate other associated pains and discomforts associated with Alzheimer’s Disease, HIV/AIDS, Arthritis, Cancer, Crohn’s Disease, Glaucoma, Multiple Sclerosis, and other afflictions. In other cases, medical marijuana is used to remedy migraine headaches, reduce stress or lack of focus, relieve painful tissue inflammation, and ease tension.

In these cases, for thousands of medical marijuana patients across the country, the typical dispensary menu offers many premium edibles made from Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains. The edibles work to bring a great deal of relief to those patients suffering from disabilities or afflictions – but who would rather not smoke.

Edibles come in many forms and are made to suit all tastes. Many who are familiar with the menu items in a full-range medical marijuana dispensary (such as the P. R. Collective in San Pedro) have grown accustomed to seeing brownies, banana breads, cookies, flavored bars, and the like.

What some medical marijuana patients may not know is that the edibles product line also may include many non-traditional edible marijuana offerings such as pretzels, chocolate bars, chai milk, cinnamon streusel, lemon squares, flavored drinks, olive oil, green tea, caramels, and lollipops.

Note: If you are intending to medicate by consuming a medical marijuana or cannabis edible, it is to be stated that many of these edibles offer a much more potent THC effect than experienced through a traditional smoke inhalation. Additionally, the effect typically lasts longer. It is also strongly encouraged for those new to the edibles medication process to begin with little more than a half portion of any given edible product. In time, after you’ve grown to understand the potency of edibles and their lasting effect, you can work your way up to a full portion.

 
In the end, medical marijuana edibles provide an excellent alternative to smoke inhalation during medication. The medical marijuana edibles products at your dispensary or co-op are hand-crafted by those who have a solid understanding of the THC and cannabinoid content and strength, as well as what makes an enjoyable edible product that is easily consumed by those who have been negatively impacted by any number of debilitating diseases or maladies.
