Medical Marijuana: reTHINK CANNABIS

Are you curious about cannabis edibles and how they work? Let's dive into the fascinating world of medical marijuana to uncover the mystery behind edibles.

Edibles are a popular way to consume marijuana. When you ingest cannabis-infused edibles, they pass through your digestive system before entering the bloodstream. The active compounds in cannabis, such as THC and CBD, are metabolized by the liver, leading to a delayed onset of effects compared to smoking or vaping.

But how long does it take for edibles to kick in? The onset of effects can vary depending on factors like your metabolism, the dosage, and whether you've eaten recently. Generally, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for edibles to take effect. So, be patient and wait for the magic to happen!

Once edibles start working, how long do they last? The duration of the effects can also vary, but typically they can last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. This prolonged effect makes edibles a preferred choice for those seeking long-lasting relief from symptoms.

Remember, the potency of the edible also plays a role. A higher dosage means a stronger effect, which may take longer to peak. It's always a good idea to start with a low dose and gradually increase to find what works best for you.

So, the next time you indulge in cannabis edibles, remember that patience is key, and the effects can last longer than you might expect. Embrace the magic of medical marijuana in a delicious and enjoyable form!

Dr Shaw is amazing. I went for my appointment and left my tumbler there. She sent it back to me in the mail along with recipes of teas I wanted to learn more about. Thank you Dr. Shaw for your package and attention to detail.
