Some confectioners are experimenting with THC syrups that can be added to beverages. Others are trying nanotechnology to make edibles with highs that are more consistent.

As the wheels of the cannabis industry turn ever faster, new technologies continue to move from labs to dispensary shelves. For Arizonans, two new edible options are available that utilize a nano-emulsification process.
A quick science lesson: nano-emulsions are described in the National Center for Biotechnology Information as an advanced mode of drug delivery in which two liquids are combined by an emulsifying agent in the cannabis world, this includes THC or CBD oil.
And while this process can result in improved stability and consistency of the product, cannabis users may be most interested in a nano-emulsion s increased bioavailability: the proportion of a drug that is able to have an active effect on the user.
