I have some weird digestion issues, where food doesn't move through me quite as quickly as it should, and I take gummies - wait, wait...nothing.
4 hours later, it hits me like a sack of bricks. It's wild.

Edibles have a huge variance due to how they mix with what's already in your stomach. Empty stomach I barely get high. Full stomach of fatty foods, I get blasted to the moon
Man, I would assume it works the other way? Not arguing. I genuinely donβt know shit.
Maybe THC is fat soluble?
Yes
I would have thought so too. Maybe the acid in your stomache can brake down thc in some way? We need to make a big study and i volunteer to partake.
Also, some people have enzymes that can break down the THC, so some people are wayyy more sensitive to edibles
You have to find an edible brand with consistent dosage. I used to feel the same way until I found a brand of gummies where I know that if I take two Iβll be at a perfect high!
Yep, I can eat a 100mg edible and feel nothing, 200 mg maybe a little. 300mg I'll probably be passed out.
Once I bought a 1g tincture of "pure" THC (no other cannabinoids or terpenes) and I could take like 300 mg of it and feel a slight high, kinda like a bit of "brain fog" but nothing near like what smoking or doing edibles does to me. It must have something to do with decarboxylating the weed and the "entourage effect".
Smoking puts thc directly into your bloodstream via the lungs in a pathway similar to oxygen.
Eating it filters it through your digestive system first, breaking it down and trying to store it in your fat as it slowly deffuses into your body.
That alone makes a huge change in thcs effect on you, by shifting where it hits you and how much at once is capable of hitting you
But that doesn't explain eating edibles made from weed vs a pure THC tincture, they both go through the digestive system.
Solids digest and enter the blood stream at different speeds than liquids do.
I hear some people are "immune" to THC edibles. Consuming them with something fatty, like peanut butter, might help. I personally like live rosin edibles. Got all those cannabinoids working together. π
I am one of those people, unfortunately. I've eaten hundred of MGs of stuff bought at legit sellers from Colorado and California, and nothing works. The only time it ever worked kind of was when they were home made brownies using the cannabutter method using an absolute ton of leftover flower to get it strong enough. I've been told it's an enzyme thing most likely.
I'm definitely not immune to edibles, I just need a few hundred mgs since I smoke a ton (taking a break for like a month).
suppose you do edibles 2 times a day, everyday
that would take you 39.000 years to do them 29547436 times
you sir are either a demi-god, a pure blood chihuahua, or you're lying
Like all chemicals you ingest - for max effect take them on an empty stomach and then eat at least a moderately sized meal afterwards.
If you take them on a full stomach then your body needs to process all the food first, and your body will process the edible slowly.
If you take them on an empty stomach and never eat, your body might not metabolize it quickly either.
Idk about other chemicals, but THC can be absorbed through the stomach lining and mouth, there it would bypass βprocessingβ.
But it also doesnβt need to process all the food first, it would dissipate and essentially be evenly distributed through the food as it gets absorbed and processed.
I preferred the seltzer waters like lagunitas hi-fi
I tried an infused seltzer after a 2 month t-break and was sober enough to pilot a submarine.
haha its like beer, add some lime and drink a few
I looked it up. I live in Georgia, USA sadly.
