Even if you have plenty of experience vaporizing cannabis in your PAX Plus, edibles can be a new and surprising adventure. Your body processes cannabis differently when you eat it instead of inhaling it, so edibles create all sorts of enjoyable effects. Keep reading to learn about the different types of edibles and see which ones are right for you.
Edible cannabis is a processed product that lets you experience cannabis by ingesting it. How are edibles different from plain cannabis flowers? Though you can theoretically eat raw cannabis, this doesn't have a noticeable effect. To actually absorb the psychoactive THC in cannabis, you need to first expose it to heat. Once cannabis has been heated to extract THC and mixed into a food, oil, or drink, it's an edible.
There's a huge amount of variety in this type of cannabis product. First of all, it comes in many forms. You can choose from baked goods, like edible brownies, or cannabis-infused gummies. There are also edible drops you can place on your tongue and edible beverages you can drink.
Some edible manufacturers make their products by baking directly with cannabis. Other manufacturers make plain, normal products and then infuse them with THC extracts. Data even suggests that the ingredients used in edibles make a difference. Certain types of fat, like sunflower oil and cocoa butter, may make it easier for the body to absorb THC.
Whether you regularly vaporize cannabis or not, you'll find there are many reasons to take edibles. Some people eat edibles because they enjoy the flavor or prefer not to inhale smoke and vapor. Others like edibles because they can be a little more precise. It's hard to judge just how much "one puff" is, but it's easy to tell exactly how much cannabis you'll consume with 5-milligram cannabis gummies.
The other big benefit of edibles is that they feel a little different. Due to the difference in how your body absorbs it, ingested cannabis feels stronger and has much longer-lasting effects. Many find this is an enjoyable and novel way to experience cannabis.
What do edibles do to you? Here's what you need to know.
This greatly depends on how your body metabolizes food and whether you take the edible alongside any other food. Most people notice the effects within one hour of taking an edible. However, some people find it can take 30 to 90 minutes.
Once you begin feeling the effects of edibles, you'll notice that edibles feel somewhat like traditional cannabis. Many people take edibles when they want to relax, and others report that edibles enhance tasty meals or conversations with friends. Every person experiences edibles slightly differently, so you may notice a whole range of different feelings.
Once you take an edible, you usually notice that the effects peak within two to three hours and then gradually fade over the next few hours. On average, people feel normal about six hours after taking an edible. However, the length is heavily dependent on your metabolism and the dose you take. With extremely high doses of strong edibles, some people report noticing sensations for up to 24 hours.
Compared to smoking or vaporizing cannabis, edible cannabinoids are typically more intense. They feel a lot stronger, and even a slight increase in the amount you consume can feel overwhelming. The other big difference between smoking and edibles is the timeline. When you vape or smoke, you feel the effects rapidly, and they last around an hour. When you take an edible, it will take around an hour for effects to happen, and it lasts around six hours.
Here are some tips for designing your ideal edible experience.
There's a lot of variation in people's reactions to edibles, but on average, most people report that a 5-milligram dose feels moderate, a 10-milligram dose feels reasonably strong, and a 30-milligram dose feels intense. If you've never tried edibles before, start low, no matter how high your tolerance is while smoking or vaping. The average dose recommended for a cannabis novice is 2.5 milligrams, and someone who's never tried edibles before should take no more than 5 milligrams. That might mean taking only half or a quarter of your edible. Check the serving size on your package and adjust accordingly.
Many people find it easier to pick THC gummies with individual serving sizes instead of edible brownies that you have to break up into multiple pieces. Another thing to consider is how the type of edible affects its absorption. Edibles with a higher portion of non-THC content, such as edible drinks and baked goods, often take a little longer for you to start feeling them compared to edible candy.
There are a few other things you might want to know about edibles.
When you eat THC, your stomach and liver break down the product and absorb it into your bloodstream. It then travels to your brain, and you start to feel the effects.
Store your edibles in an airtight container away from heat or light. Some people like to place their edibles in the fridge for maximum freshness. Keep in mind that all edibles must be stored where children and pets cannot reach them.
