How did you come up with the name Pink Fox?
what seems like forever ago, we started this company in KEO’s kitchen. and back when we were experimenting with recipes, we got some ziploc bags from the discounted dollar section at Target. Those bags just happen to have a cartoon pink fox on them. the rest is - as they say - history.

We’re the original edible maker in DC. We use the best ingredients we can get, keep our products consistent and tested, and skip all the fake cannabis science. We’re proud to be part of this community, and everything we make comes from that place of pride.
-
DO i need a medical card to buy pink fox products?
yes.
-
IS there any risk to getting a medical card in dc?
In DC, getting a medical cannabis card doesn’t put you on any public list—your information is private and protected under HIPAA. The main consideration is that cannabis is still illegal under federal law, so federal employers or certain security clearance holders may face restrictions. But there is no risk at all. get your card today!
no information collected by abca is shared with any federal agency.
-
are your edibles lab tested?
yes. all pink fox edibles are tested by a independent abca licensed laboratory. results for any/all products can be made available upon request.
-
what does the best by date on your package mean?
The ‘Best By’ date marks when your edible is at its peak freshness, flavor, and potency. It’s not an expiration date. After that date, your product remains safe to consume but may slowly lose some quality over time.
-
Should i eat my edible on a empty stomach?
For most people, edibles actually tend to hit harder and last longer if taken with food, especially something fatty, because THC is fat-soluble and your body absorbs it more efficiently when digested alongside fats.
On an empty stomach, you might feel effects sooner because there’s less in your stomach to slow absorption, but the absorption can be less efficient, leading to a shorter and sometimes less intense overall experience.
-
How do i mimic a uplifted feeling? or know what to take before bed?
Forget “indica” vs. “sativa”—focus on dosage and timing. For winding down, start low and slow in the evening with a smaller dose to avoid grogginess. For staying productive during the day, keep your dose low and choose something balanced or CBD-forward to avoid feeling too zoned out. Know your tolerance, track how you feel, and adjust from there.
recommended products include 5mg gummies, red rox, fox rox, and cheese rox.
-
is this edible working? how long should i wait before having another eidble?
yes, the edible is working. Edibles take time—usually 30 minutes to 2 hours (in extreme cases)—to kick in fully. Don’t rush to eat more too soon; wait at least two hours before deciding if you need more. Start with a low dose and give it time, so you avoid going too hard.
Unless that is where you want to go…

oh no...I think I had too much.
Not a question, but no sweat. You will be ok!
Take it easy—it’s not dangerous, just uncomfortable. Find a calm, quiet place to relax, drink water, and maybe have a light snack. Remember, the effects will wear off in a few hours. If you’re feeling really anxious, try deep breathing or distraction like watching a show. something familiar is best - in my experience anyway.
If anything feels seriously wrong, don’t hesitate to get medical help.

do you make "indica" or "sativa" edibles?
“Indica” vs. “sativa” in edibles is marketing. Once you eat them, your body turns THC into a stronger form that wipes out any subtle strain differences.
When you consume cannabis as an edible, your body processes THC differently than it does inhaled. The cannabinoids are metabolized by your liver into a compound called 11-hydroxy-THC, which can produce stronger and longer-lasting effects than when smoked. This process tends to override the subtle differences you’d get from “indica” or “sativa” strains.
It’s all about dose and your tolerance—not some outdated plant category.
Here’s what the science says:
1. Terpenes and ingestion
Volatility & degradation: Terpenes are highly volatile (that’s why you can smell them so easily). Many of them are destroyed or evaporate during baking or candy-making, unless carefully preserved.
Digestion & metabolism: Even if terpenes survive processing, they’re not absorbed the same way as when inhaled. The gut and liver metabolize them differently, and their bioavailability (how much actually enters your bloodstream) is far lower orally.
Effect on high: Because of this, most researchers think terpenes contribute very little — if anything — to the psychoactive effects of edibles.
2. What does matter in edibles
THC metabolism: When you eat THC, it passes through the liver and gets converted to 11-hydroxy-THC, which is more potent and longer-lasting than smoked THC. This is why edibles often feel “heavier” and last much longer.
Cannabinoid ratios: CBD, CBG, THCV, etc., still interact with THC when eaten and can shape the experience (e.g., CBD moderates THC intensity).
Fat content & absorption: Since cannabinoids are fat-soluble, edibles made with butter, oils, or emulsions tend to improve absorption and effect consistency.
3. Flavor vs. effect
Terpenes in edibles still matter for taste and aroma — for example, a limonene-heavy oil may carry citrus notes into a gummy or chocolate.
But when it comes to the high, edibles are overwhelmingly shaped by dose, metabolism, and cannabinoids, not terpenes.
