More cannabis is sold today in edible food format than as a smokable product due to consumer preferences for convenience, discretion, and health. However, old-fashioned cannabis edibles were unpredictable, full of sugar, and often took one to two slow hours to take effect. Newly patented absorption technology from Lexaria Bioscience can be licensed to manufactures around the world to create the best tasting, fast acting and most satisfying edibles the world has ever seen.
