At Passion Farms Cannabis Company, cannabis edibles have become the preferred method of consumption for a number of consumers. Convenient, smoke-free, flavorful, long-lasting cannabis experience. Our selection of THC Gummies, and other premium cannabis edibles, are becoming more popular for both wellness and recreational use across the country. 

So, what is it that makes edibles feel so different from the feeling from smoking or vaping? The difference can be traced to the body’s normal digestion and metabolic activity. Knowing the science can help you consume edibles properly and productively. 

Why Edibles Feel Different

With inhaled cannabis, THC enters the bloodstream, within seconds, and acts quickly.  But, with cannabis edibles, the process of THC being absorbed in the body takes place through the gastro-intestinal tract and through metabolism in the liver, before being metabolized and becoming psychoactive.

First-Pass Metabolism

When THC is consumed through edibles, it is then processed in the liver and as it is metabolized, the molecule of THC makes a compound that is called 11-hydroxy-THC.  The metabolite 11-hydroxy-THC is considered to be more potent and, in addition to being more potent, 11-hydroxy-THC crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than inhaled THC.  

THC (oral)→Liver→ 11-hydroxy-THC

This is why THC Gummies can sometimes feel stronger and even feel to have a longer duration, even at understanding administered or consumed at a lower dose.

Onset and Duration: What to expect

One thing people often do is take too much too soon. Edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours (or more) to take effect, depending on a few things:

Metabolism: Someone that has a faster metabolism will feel the effects of the cannabis edibles sooner.

Stomach contents: If you eat edibles on an empty stomach, they may take effect sooner.

Edible type: Liquids may take effect faster than baked goods.

Cannabinoid profile: Full-spectrum edibles may have a wider effect profile.

Once active, the effects can last anywhere from 4 – 8 hours, with a peak in feeling around 2-4 hours in.

Dosing Tips: Start Low, Go Slow

To avoid overwhelming experiences, especially as a beginner, these edible best practices might help you:

• If you are new to cannabis, start with 2.5-5 mg of THC
• Wait at least 2 hours to consider eating more.
• Increase your usual dose in future sessions by no more than 2.5 mg.
• Always read the labels to know what dosage of THC each serving has.

Our quality cannabis edibles make things easy for responsible dosing by clearly marking the amount of edible and per serving.
