Weed candy edibles & THC mints

Despite the super-sealed, frustratingly strong packaging; yes, weed candy will expire. In general, edible candies will last up to six months. After that, THC begins to degrade and the candy will lose its potency. Check out the package for storage tips or ask your budtender. 

Also, hard weed candy can also melt into package shaped gooey puddles - still edible btw. 

First, weed needs to be legal in your state, province, or territory. Where legal, THC infused candy has to be delivered or picked up from a dispensary near you. Use Leafly to find your favorite flavor, strain type, or strain the candy is made from.

1:1 weed candy means the candy contains an equal amount of THC and CBD. However, the ratio of THC to CBD can vary depending on the intended use. For example, 1:1 weed mints may be preferred as a sleep aid due to the added CBD compared to THC only mints.

Cannabis candy is confection infused with cannabis extract, covering most of the sweets aisle other than gummies. The category includes hard candy and lollipops, caramels and taffy, chews and toffees, mints and lozenges, brittle, and infused chocolate bark. Some pieces are chewed and swallowed, and some, like hard candy and lozenges, are meant to dissolve slowly in your mouth. That distinction matters, because a candy you hold in your mouth lets part of the cannabinoid content absorb through oral tissue, which can bring effects on sooner. Anything swallowed has to be digested first, so onset is slower and effects last longer. Every package is labeled with its cannabinoid content and how many pieces it holds, in whatever format your state requires.

Hard candy is sugar syrup cooked to a high temperature, then cooled and shaped. Cannabinoids do not hold up well under prolonged heat, so makers usually blend the extract in late, once the syrup has come down from its hottest point, and then work fast. Caramels and chews are cooked cooler and stay soft, which makes even distribution easier. Coatings and individual wrappers do real work too, keeping pieces from fusing together and blocking the light that degrades cannabinoids.
