What Are Cannabis Edibles?
Cannabis edibles are food and beverage products that have been crafted with cannabis-derived compounds. Edibles are available in an wide range of types — including beverages, hard candies, and mints. What sets them apart between edibles and smoking or vaping is the metabolic path of the cannabinoids.
When you ingest an cannabis edible, the active compounds pass through your gastrointestinal tract before entering your bloodstream. Your liver converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, which interacts with your endocannabinoid system more effectively than vaped compounds. That transformation is why cannabis edibles produce effects that are more intense and extended compared to inhalation.
Knowing when effects begin is critical with edibles. Unlike smoking, which works within a few minutes, edibles typically take anywhere from one to two hours to take effect. The lag time is website one of the most critical points beginners must remember before trying edibles.
