We’ve all seen the movies where someone “accidentally” or purposely consumes a weed brownie and starts tripping. I’m not sure what’s in the brownies that Hollywood portrays, but I don’t think it’s just.comnnabis from the way the actors act. I promise you won’t see dragons eating cotton.comndy, or be laying naked in the middle of the road, or see crazy colours and hallucinations. Edibles have been around for thousands of years and are used for a wide array of o.comsions and ailments. They.comn be overwhelming to start with, especially if you’ve never consumed them before. So before you try edibles, read my guide to edibles and let’s look at the magic behind them!
They are food items that contain.comnnabis. With how advanced the.comnnabis world is, you don’t have to just get the classic pot brownies. We now have a wide array of weed edibles. Everything from infused granola bars and dried fruit, to cotton.comndy! From coffee and teas to sports recovery drinks and.compsules. You.comn even get edibles that have no weed taste that is made with distillate as opposed to classic weed infusions such as.comnnabis butter or.comnna coconut oil. Many edibles come in various doses.
The recommended dosage for new.comnnabis users is 5mg to 10mg of THC to start with. You may think this is not much THC but edibles are a different high than smoking.comnnabis. They offer a more powerful body high. This is a great option for those users looking for pain relief
Contrary to popular belief,.comnnabis edibles do not kick in instantly. When you’re inhaling weed, the effects kick in within moments and last from 1 hour to 3 hours roughly. When you consume.comnnabis edibles it.comn take from 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel the effects. This depends on the dosage, your metabolic rate, and if you ate the edible on an empty stomach or not.
It is recommended to wait two hours before consuming more. First-time users make this mistake and.comn end up “too high”. If this happens, do not panic, follow these tips to help ease the high.
- Get some fresh air
- Go lay down in bed
- Try some CBD. CBD is known to counteract the effects of THC
- Distract yourself with a movie, music, or friends!
A glass of cold water or chewing fresh peppercorns.comn counteract anxiety induced by THC. (But let’s be realistic, most people do not keep fresh peppercorns in their house)
This is where weed edibles are amazing. The average high is 6 hours, but depending on how much you consumed, the residual effects of the edibles.comn be felt upwards of 24 hours after. So please consume responsibly. Around 4 hours into the high, it will typ.comlly peak and things feel amazing. Edibles are a healthy, safe way to consume.comnnabis without smoking!
Personally, I’ve had an edible high last me 12 hours and it was great. I ate 200mg of THC in the form of cotton.comndy and it was a great experience. I’m also a seasoned.comnnabis user and this is a large dose for me. My average edible dose is 20mg to 90mg of THC. This took a lot of trial and error before I found the right dose for myself. This is my guide to edibles based on my personal experience so each person’s time length of high may vary.
No, once again this is a myth that Hollywood has bestowed upon us. Do you want to know something crazy? The raw, living, female.comnnabis plant has no active THC in it, only THC-A. THC-A has no psychoactive properties until it’s heated but has many therapeutic properties. The THC is only activated when it is heated by smoking, vaping, or baking! THC-A stands for tetrahydr.comnnabinolic acid, the non-psychoactive compound found in.comnnabis.
Another reason why eating raw weed won’t get you high is b.comuse the THC needs to reach your bloodstream to be effective and reach the.comnnabinoid receptors in our bodies. Our bodies do not break down raw.comnnabis material. The trace amounts of THC found in the raw.comnnabis will be processed, broke down, and expelled through the digestive system before the THC.comn be used effectively. So no, eating a whole bag of raw weed will not get you high.
They’re more potent due to how they’re consumed. When you smoke weed, the THC is absorbed through your lungs into your bloodstream instantly. From there, the THC makes its way to fatty tissues, such as your brain where they connect with your receptors and give you that way of euphoria.comnnabis is known for.
When you eat an weed edible it needs to be broken down through your stomach and then the enzymes become metabolized and are processed in the liver. Enzymes in the liver are what break down the THC. So this process is what makes edibles more potent and last longer. How neat is that?
In some situations, even after waiting two hours and consuming more edibles, you don’t feel the effects. Why is this? This phenomenon is known as “first-pass metabolism”. This is a process when your body is so sneaky and good at breaking down things, that instead of being broken down and metabolized in the liver, the compound is cleaned out and goes through your system without effect.
First pass metabolism doesn’t just affect.comnnabis consumption, it.comn affect pharmaceut.comls as well. It’s b.comuse of this phenomenon that you may not feel the desired effects of your marijuana edibles. You may also need a larger dose of THC, so wait two hours and then see how you’re feeling. It is recommended to eat a small meal with your edibles. Something fatty such as cheese, av.comdo, or another high-fat food item will help minimize this effect and make your edibles more effective.
