What are cannabis edibles?
Edibles offer a discreet and enjoyable way to consume cannabis. They are a great departure from traditional consumption methods, skipping the smoke and prep in favor of a simple, familiar treat. From candies to beverages, edibles come in a variety of forms to suit different tastes and preferences.
Why do edibles take longer to kick in – and why do they feel stronger?
Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles are ingested and metabolized through our digestive system, resulting in a slower onset of effects that also lasts longer than when you inhale from a joint or a vape.
When we consume edibles, they pass through our stomach and intestines before entering the bloodstream, where the cannabinoids are then transported to the liver for processing. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on factors like your metabolism, your tolerance, and what else you’ve eaten that day. Once metabolized in the liver, the cannabinoids are converted to a more potent form that crosses the blood-brain barrier, resulting in the onset of effects.
It’s important to note that edibles’ potency can vary widely, so proper dosing should always be considered. Always start slow and wait for the effects to kick in before consuming more.
