5 Fast Facts About Edibles

Fact #1: Edibles Provide A Long Lasting High

Marijuana edibles are metabolized slowly by the stomach, which turns THC into another form of marijuana known as 11-hydroxy-THC. This marijuana metabolite enters the bloodstream through blood vessels in the stomach and eventually makes its way to the brain, where it produces a stronger high than if marijuana were smoked or vaporized.

Edibles provide a more intense physical high that lasts for several hours. Ingested marijuana is absorbed more slowly by the body, creating a stronger but delayed high. Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to have an effect. However, the marijuana effects persist for 4-8 hours or longer, compared with 1-4 hours of alcohol effects on drinkers who consume a similar amount.

Fact #2: Serving Size Matters

If you're going to try marijuana edibles for the first time, it's important that you do so in a safe and controlled environment. Edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to fully kick in—so eating more isn't always better.

Portion control is key with marijuana edibles since everyone has different tolerance levels for THC the chemical compound present in marijuana. For example, if you consume too much at once you could end up feeling significantly higher than your friend who ate half as much. Don't let this discourage you from trying marijuana edibles though because the marijuana edible high is often considered to be stronger and lasts longer than smoking marijuana!

To help make sure that the first marijuana edible experience goes well, marijuana edible companies usually provide an exact dosage and the recommended serving size is usually 1-2 doses. This way you can regulate your marijuana edible high so it doesn't get too intense.

Fact #3: Edibles Come In Many Different Forms

Marijuana edibles can come in many different forms. For example, some marijuana edibles are actually smoking devices that use marijuana as their base material to be burned and turned into smoke. Marijuana edibles can also be used as a marijuana ingredient for baking as well as marijuana-infused drinks such as coffee or tea.

In addition to those creative uses, marijuana edibles have been around for quite some time now and have evolved from simple brownies and other snacks to more creative products such as pecan pie, milk chocolate bars with a peanut butter filling, gingersnaps, maple syrup infused with cannabis oil and so on. You name it – there's really no limit to the number of marijuana edible creations available on the marijuana dispensary market today.

Fact #4: Edibles Are Not All The Same

In marijuana production, the term "edible" is often associated with marijuana brownies or cannabis butter on a baked good such as a cookie, but edibles can include any marijuana product that is ingested orally- which includes marijuana drinks and marijuana cooked items. When referring to marijuana edibles it's important to note that some manufacturers have more of a tendency to put an accurate amount of THC into their products than others do.

Marijuana edibles are an incredibly interesting product. There is a staggering variety of marijuana edibles that can come in all shapes and sizes. If you have never tried marijuana edibles before, then you might find smoking marijuana to be very different from eating marijuana-infused foods. With potentially so many options available, it's important to know what kind of marijuana edible you are looking for before you buy them.

Fact #5: Quality Is Not Guaranteed

Even if marijuana is of high-grade quality it will surely fail if marijuana growers do not store their marijuana in ideal conditions. Temperature fluctuations are one of the most common problems for growers who are attempting to make tidy profits on marijuana sales.

Although some processing may be able to fix marijuana edibles that have had temperature fluctuations through storage, this cannot always be done in every case because excessive heat exposure damages marijuana plants at the cellular level which then leads to an overall decreased marijuana potency and marijuana edibles efficacy.

Edible marijuana products should only be purchased from licensed dispensaries because you do not know what goes into making homemade marijuana edibles at home since there are no guidelines on how much weed should be used when it comes to edibles recipes.

Although the effects may vary for different people, too much THC can produce uncomfortable side effects such as anxiety, vomiting, or even psychosis so it is important to use marijuana edibles responsibly and carefully.

If you’re looking for a long-lasting high, edibles are the way to go. Just be sure to pay attention to the serving size, as too much can have negative consequences. Edibles come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important to do your research before purchasing. Not all edibles are created equal – make sure you only buy from reputable sources. Have questions?
