Cannabis-infused edibles have grown in popularity and you can see them popping at gourmet dinner, weddings, reality TV shows, and yoga classes. Cannabis smoking or vaping is still popular but according to a survey it is reported that there is an increase in consumers who choose to eat weeds.

In the majority of states, not just medical but recreational marijuana is getting legalized. It means people who steered clear from marijuana as it was illegal are now considering  THC gummies or CBD candy bars or other edibles. They are curious to experience the therapeutic effect of the CBD and THC.

Consuming cannabis-infused food is tricky. The key reason is to determine its precise dosage. The way cannabis-infused cookie or a special brownie works in your body makes it hard to control the dosage. Adults must understand how CBD edibles work in their body and choose a dosage smartly.

How cannabis-infused foods work in your body?

People get the same feelings or health benefits from eating or smoking cannabis. The difference lies in how THC gets processed in your body. THC is a compound that induces the euphoric high. How the edibles get processed affects the kicking time and intensity of the high.

• If you are vaping or smoking, the THC gets absorbed along with other cannabinoids via lungs. All the compounds enter your bloodstream, so the effects are experienced in not more than 10 minutes.

• In case you had an edible, it has to encounter a digestion process. The first stomach absorbs some compounds, and then it goes through the small intestine, where the liver breaks down THC and it enters the blood. The digestion process can take a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 120 minutes to experience the total impact.

• The impact of cannabis-infused edibles will depend on the person’s weight, metabolism, prior experience, tolerance level, and has an empty stomach.

• Even the kind of edible used makes a difference. THC molecules in beverages get broken down more quickly than cannabis-infused heavy baked goods. Besides, some THC gets absorbed in the mouth when cannabis candy is sucked or infused beverages are enjoyed.

• The liver converts THC into 10X more psychoactive molecules than absorbed by your lungs via smoking. As THC dosage is the key factor to consider of high a user gets than remember eating edibles makes the high very intense.

• The potent high lasts for a long time because edibles bind to body fat and do not wear away entirely for 8 to 10 hours.

The motto for THC edible newbies …..Start Low and Go Slow!
