What Do We Mean by Cannabis Edibles?
Cannabis edibles are ingestible cannabis products that have been infused with cannabis-derived compounds. Edibles are available in an wide range of formats — such as caramels, cookies, and infused beverages. What sets them apart between edibles and other consumption routes is how the body processes the cannabinoids.
When you consume an edible, the cannabinoids pass through your stomach and liver before entering your circulation. Your liver converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, which interacts with your endocannabinoid system more effectively than vaped compounds. That transformation is why edibles generate effects that are stronger and longer-lasting compared to other methods.
Knowing when effects begin is key with edibles. In contrast to inhalation, which works within seconds to minutes, cannabis edibles typically require anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to produce noticeable effects. The lag time is one of the most key facts beginners must remember before consuming.
