What Do We Mean by Cannabis Edibles?
Edibles are food and beverage products that have been crafted with cannabinoids. They are available in an impressive range of forms — including beverages, hard candies, and mints. The key difference between cannabis edibles and inhalation methods is the metabolic path of the cannabinoids.
When you consume an cannabis edible, the cannabinoids pass through your stomach and liver before entering your bloodstream. Your liver converts THC into a more potent metabolite, which crosses the blood-brain barrier more intensely than inhaled THC. This process is why edibles deliver effects that are deeper and more sustained compared to other methods.
Knowing when effects begin is key with edibles. Different from vaping, which delivers effects within a few minutes, edibles typically require anywhere from one to two hours to kick in. That waiting period is one of the most key facts first-time consumers should understand before trying edibles.
