What are referred to as “consumables” in the cannabis industry?

In the cannabis industry, "consumables" specifically refer to products that can be ingested or consumed. This includes a range of items such as edibles, which are food products infused with cannabis; tinctures, which are alcohol-based extracts of cannabis; and beverages, which can be drinks infused with cannabinoids. These products are designed to be consumed by the user for their psychoactive properties or therapeutic effects.

The term "consumables" is distinct from other categories of cannabis-related products, which may have different uses. For example, scented candles and oils may involve cannabis aromatic compounds but are typically not intended for ingestion. Topicals, while they may utilize cannabis, are applied to the skin rather than consumed. Seeds and growing supplies are focused on cultivation and do not fall into the category of items that are consumed by users. Hence, the focus on products that can be ingested is what defines consumables in this context.
