What Are Cannabis Edibles?
Edibles are food and beverage products that have been made with THC, CBD, or other cannabinoids. These products are available in an wide range of forms — including beverages, hard candies, and mints. The key difference between edibles and inhalation methods is the metabolic path of the cannabinoids.
When you ingest an cannabis edible, the cannabinoids pass through your stomach and liver before entering your system. Hepatic metabolism converts THC into a stronger compound, which interacts with your endocannabinoid system more readily than inhaled THC. This process is why edibles produce effects that are deeper and extended compared to smoking.
Grasping the timing is essential with edibles. Different from vaping, which produces results within seconds to minutes, cannabis edibles typically need anywhere from one to two hours to produce noticeable effects. That waiting period is one of the most important things beginners need to know before trying edibles.
