The Science Behind Cannabis and Chocolate

Without getting too deep into the science, endocannabinoids are molecules produced by your body. One of the most well-known is called anandamide, also referred to as the “bliss molecule.” This endocannabinoid is synthesized in areas of the brain that relate to memory, motivation, and happiness.

Interestingly, anandamide is also present in cocoa. When consumed in the form of chocolate, anandamide interacts with the same endocannabinoid receptors as THC. 

It turns out there’s a good reason that chocolate is a comfort food for many people, and a reason cannabis consumers on Cape Cod love this combination. Edibles are great after a meal at your favorite seaside restaurant or sharing with friends at the beach.

Benefits of Chocolate Edibles

Aside from being delicious, chocolate edibles are discrete and convenient. They’re easily dosed according to individual THC tolerance. What about Cape Cod cannabis users who don’t care for the smell or taste of marijuana? Much like gummies, chocolate does a good job of covering up the more pungent flavors.

Some brands do such a great job of making delicious treats, you might forget there’s cannabis in your chocolate! 

Note that cannabis edibles are slower to enter the bloodstream than other forms of intake, such as flower. So, even if you don’t feel the effects as soon as anticipated, it’s not recommended to consume more than your normal tolerance.
