The most delicious cannabis experience

Fun, flexible & flavorful

Cannabis-infused foods and beverages, aka edibles, have come a long way from the days of “magic” brownies. Today, you can find a range of delicious options with precise dosing and tailored effects for any occasion.

Edibles are reliable, doseable, and portable, and come in a variety of delicious formats to suit every taste, like artisanal chocolates, mints, chews, and gummies. For new cannabis users, edibles can be a great way to get started and familiar with this plant and its effects.

Why choose edibles?

Familiar & accessible

Food is an easy, familiar consumption option that is accessible (and appealing) to everyone.

Longer, sustained effects

Edibles result in a more gradual and longer-lasting psychoactive effect than inhalation.

Alternative to smoking

Edibles allow you to enjoy cannabis without the negative side effects of smoking.

Discreet & portable

With no obvious smell or annoying accessories, edibles can be ingested openly and transported discreetly.

Reliable & doseable

Kiva’s precisely-dosed products allow you to choose and control your desired experience.

Complementary to inhalation

Edibles can serve as a supplement to inhalables as a way to extend and enhance your cannabis experience.

What to expect from edibles

Edibles produce a more sustained effect than other methods of consumption. This is because, when eaten, the cannabinoids (like THC, CBD + CBN) are metabolized and converted by the liver, which is not the case with smoking or vaping. The result is a whole-body effect that stays in the bloodstream for a longer period of time.

Dosing

Always start small with 2.5MG THC or less and wait 2 hours for the full effects before consuming more. Kiva’s precisely-dosed products make it especially easy to find the dose that delivers your desired experience.

Onset

It will take 15 minutes - 2 hours to feel the effects from your edible. Your exact wait time depends on your metabolism, height, weight, prior cannabis experience, and how much food is already in your stomach.

Duration

Effects will last roughly 4-6 hours, though unusually high doses can last for more than 24 hours. Be mindful of your tolerance and increase your dose in small increments to avoid an overwhelming experience.

Edibles for every occasion

Social

Edibles can enhance every communal experience - from a delectable meal to a dazzling concert - by reducing your angst, boosting your mood, and pleasantly amplifying sights and sounds.

Sleep

Edibles create a naturally long-lasting calming effect that can help ease tensions and help you drift off to sleep.

Relaxation

Edibles help you relax on your own terms by offering a natural way to let your worries go, enjoy the present moment, and manage the stress of daily life.

Exercise

A low dose helps many users stay focused and energized while elevating the enjoyment of physical exercise.

Romance

Go with the flow without your mind getting in the way. Edibles’ ability to provide sustained sensory enhancement is ideal for amorous and adventurous couples.

Pain Relief

Edibles have helped many people dealing with chronic pain and illnesses. Talk to your doctor to discover how cannabis might help you manage your condition.

The microdosing movement

The low dose lowdown

Consuming cannabis in small, subtle doses is called microdosing. This approach empowers you to tailor your dose with remarkable precision and accuracy, instilling confidence in your edibles experience.

Microdoses help many users feel the mood-balancing benefits of cannabis with minimal psychoactive effects. This means less impact on your focus and energy levels, and more opportunities to integrate cannabis into your daily life.

Tips for enjoying edibles

Safety

Always avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or other risky activities when under the influence of cannabis.

Sharing

Never give cannabis to someone without their knowledge (besides, why waste your edibles on someone who may not appreciate them?).

Storage

When storing, keep your edibles cool, safe and sealed. Always keep your edibles out of reach of children and pets.

Mixing

Consuming a large amount of alcohol and cannabis can result in nausea, vomiting, anxiety, or paranoia, so be sure to use in moderation if combining.

Eating

The effects of edibles can be especially intense when consumed on an empty stomach. Avoid an overwhelming experience by having a non-infused meal or snack before your edible.

Overconsumption

If you happen to over-ingest cannabis, keep hydrated and stay calm until the effects begin to dissipate, usually within six hours of consumption.
