You’ve gotten your cannabis delivery in Los Angeles and enjoyed your cannabis in the comfort of your own home when you feel the munchies start kicking in. For many weed smokers, this may sound all too familiar. Fortunately, if you’re in or around Silver Lake, there’s no shortage of delicious things to eat. The city has an eclectic variety of stellar eateries that are sure to satisfy your tastebuds, especially when you’re stoned and have a deeper appreciation for tasty food. In this article, our staff at CCA Silver Lake highlights some of our favorite places to eat in Silverlake when we’re stoned. 

1. Boo’s Philly Cheesesteaks 

We’ll say it loudly and unapologetically—Boo’s Philly Cheesesteaks has the best cheesesteaks in Los Angeles (and maybe even California)! For $10.95, you get a massive sandwich topped with loads of sliced steak, grilled onions, and your choice of cheese on an amoroso roll. Order for pick-up, delivery, or dine-in—they’re conveniently located at the corner of Virgil and Fountain.

2. Tacos Delta

There is no doubt that Tacos Delta is a Silver Lake essential, and has been for a long time. Open from 7 AM to 9 PM on most days, this delicious eatery has been serving top-notch Mexican food to the community since 1981. Some of our favorites include the breakfast burrito, the grilled shrimp burrito, and the crispy potato tacos. Make sure to load up on their salsa that is made fresh from scratch every day. Lastly, if you’re able to, sit down and enjoy your food on their beautifully decorated patio.

3. Millie’s Cafe

Breakfast food is always good, but it tastes even better after you’ve enjoyed some top-quality marijuana. Millie’s Cafe has been cooking up scrambles, benedicts, omelets, pancakes, and more since 1926. Our go-to’s are the pork belly benedict and the monkey banana pancakes (available regular or gluten-free). Fair warning—there is typically a long line.

4. El Cochinito

Although Silver Lake locals have known about this spot since it opened in 1988, it became popular across Los Angeles after it was recognized as having the best traditional Cuban sandwich in the world at the 2018 International Cuban Sandwich Festival. As obvious, ordering the Cuban sandwich is a must, as are the mouthwatering ham croquetas. If you have room for dessert, the tropical tres leches cake is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

5. The Fix Burger

The Fix Burger is a family-owned restaurant that offers a variety of gourmet burgers for both meat-lovers and vegans. With a menu that caters to all tastes, The Fix Burger is a must-try for burger enthusiasts in the Silver Lake area.

From baked goods to candies, gummies, chocolates, beverages, and much more, there is a wide range of cannabis-infused edibles that have grown increasingly popular in recent years. Each day, more and more people are becoming interested in trying edibles. Furthermore, it’s often the case that these people have some questions about the basics of edibles that they want answers to before experimenting. Questions such as “How long do edibles last in the bloodstream?” and “How long do edibles stay in your system?” are quite common, and as a result, our team at CCA is here to answer them once and for all. 

Below, our cannabis experts give a brief background about edibles before jumping into the questions themselves. In an effort to give our readers the most accurate information, we’ve made sure to get all of the information we cover from trusted, reputable sources. Let’s jump in!

The Basics of Cannabis Edibles

Edibles are food products that have been infused with marijuana or cannabis. There are many different reasons why people have become interested in edibles. For some who don’t enjoy smoking cannabis, for example, edibles are a perfect alternative. Others, however, prefer edibles because of the two-in-one punch, a tasty treat that also gives you the relaxing sensation of cannabis. Edibles are also a lot more discreet than other methods, making them appealing for that reason as well. 

The legalization of cannabis in many states across the U.S. in recent years has significantly increased the variety of cannabis edibles. As mentioned earlier, a wide range of edibles exists, including: 

• Baked goods such as cannabis brownies
• Cannabis gummies and chews
• Cannabis mints
• Chocolate bars
• Beverages

If you’re looking for edibles in Los Angeles, CCA Silver Lake is proud to offer one of the largest selections in the city, featuring brands such as Kanha Treats, Kiva Confections, and Wyld, among many others. 

How Long Does It Take For Edibles to Kick In?

When cannabis is smoked, it enters the bloodstream quite quickly, allowing the effects of cannabis to be felt right away. When ingested through edibles, however, it takes substantially longer to enter the bloodstream and for the effects to be felt. This is because the edibles have to pass through the digestive system before it is absorbed into the bloodstream. The effects of edibles can be felt as quickly as 30 minutes after consumption, or contrarily, as much as three hours after eating the edible. 

How long it takes to feel effects depends on numerous different factors, with the two primary considerations being the amount of THC in the edible and a person’s cannabis tolerance. The amount of THC included in an edible is clearly labeled on the package. For the average person, a 5 mg edible is a great place to start because it can help manage stress and pain, as well as spark creativity, without being overbearing. 

How Long Do Weed Edibles Stay In The System?

In most cases, a 5 mg edible will produce a high in the body that typically lasts two to three hours, but this ultimately depends on the person. It goes without saying that the more you consume, the longer you will feel the effects. 

While the sensation of cannabis edibles tends to disappear within a few hours, the drug itself can remain in the body for several weeks. Long after the edible is ingested and its effect dissipated, it can still be detected on a drug or blood test. The length of time it takes for weed to be broken down in the body and eliminated depends on several factors. Traces of cannabis from edibles can stay in the system for up to several weeks.
