According to IDPH: These are products such as foods (or "edibles") and tinctures that are infused with concentrated marijuana oils. Edibles are the most popular form of cannabis-infused products, and are also the most likely to result in over-consumption. Types of medical cannabis-infused products may include, but not limited to:
• edibles such as baked goods, candy or lozenges;
• teas and sodas;
• tinctures, tonics, and oils which are added to food, medicines, and liquids, or consumed directly in small drops or by placing drops under the tongue;
• topicals, which are applied directly onto the skin in the form of oils, balms, salves, lotions, sprays or ointments.
