A marijuana edible is infused with a concentrated version of marijuana delivery. Various concentrated forms include hashes, waxes, oils, and kief, which are all produced by extracting THC from the flowers and buds of the marijuana plant. Choosing to smoke marijuana delivery involves using the flower or bud directly, but you will should know the differences in strength and duration before you use these edibles to achieve the state of mind you desire.
Strength
The intensity of your “high” is different while smoking instead of while consuming marijuana edibles. To compare, when you smoke a flower or bud, the strength is similar to the buzz you would receive after drinking a light beer. However, edibles contain a concentrated amount of THC, making it more potent. This effect gives it the strength of hard liquor, prior to mixing it into a recipe. Many users report a feeling of euphoria while using an edible amount, while others report no reaction at all. When using a concentrated amount, make sure to use only small doses until you learn your endurance and reaction to the edible version.
Duration
Another aspect of consuming marijuana edibles is the amount of time it takes your body to process the dosage. Smoking marijuana delivery usually only takes seconds to affect your body, taking about 10-15 minutes to reach the peak of your high. Smoking takes the marijuana delivery through your lungs, whereas edibles process through your liver. Effects sometimes take one or two hours to fully set in, making it important to pace yourself.
Control
Marijuana edibles lack the same control of smoking marijuana flowers, but you also need less to achieve the effect. While consuming marijuana products, you must estimate the dosage you have taken while you eat. Many long-term users that need to use marijuana delivery medicinally prefer consumption with edibles, since the effect lasts longer. If you produce your own edibles, measure out the amount of THC required for the right dose to control it easier.
Be Safe
When you enjoy marijuana food products, you should determine the dose of THC that is best for you. New patients or infrequent smokers usually only need about 3 – 5 milligrams to affect them; however, smokers who partake in marijuana usually need up to 20 milligrams of THC for the same result. Marijuana is a non-toxic substance, but too much of the drug can lead to unpleasant side effects such as heart rate, dryness of the mouth, and/or feelings of paranoia or anxiety. If this occurs while consuming edibles, take a moment to relax as the effect should wear off within about two hours.
