How Long Do Edibles Last?

The hype around weed edibles comes from their ability to offer precise dosing, smoke-free consumption, and high potency. The infamous potency of these products may cause first-time or inexperienced consumers to wonder, “how long do edibles last?” The answer will vary from person to person, but there are a few key things to understand about the effects of edibles before finding out. 

Why Are Edibles More Potent Than Flower?

The first thing to understand when asking “how long do edibles last?” is that these products are more potent than the same amount of cannabis when smoked in flower form. According to Leafly, eating cannabis causes THC and CBD to pass through the liver before being metabolized by enzymes and entering the bloodstream. The result is psychoactive effects that are about five times more potent than the same amount of THC ingested through smoking. 

How Long Does it Take to Feel the Effects?

After ingesting an edible, it takes some time for the body to process the cannabis. Whereas smoking or vaping can leave you feeling high almost instantly, edibles take anywhere from 30 minutes to around 2 hours to kick in; however, it could potentially take longer. The processing time will vary from person to person. The time it takes depends on things like body weight, tolerance, and how much food and water you’ve had that day.

How Long Do THC Edibles Last?

Always check the information on your edible products to see how much THC you are ingesting. The intensity and length of effects are dependent on the amount of THC you consume. The high from edibles lasts longer than the high from smoking. Users may feel the effects for around 4 hours and all the way up to 12 hours. Residual effects may still be felt up to 24 hours later. Although, again, this may vary person to person.

Conclusion 

The question “how long do edibles last?” is going to have a different answer for each person who asks it. For first-time consumers, it is important to start slowly and get a feel for your limits before taking more. Surrounding yourself with the right people and a comfortable environment is the best way to try these popular cannabis products.
