So, How Long Does It Take for Edibles to Kick In?

When you eat cannabis, it has to go through your digestive system before it enters your bloodstream. This process takes longer than smoking or vaping, which is why the effects of edibles can take up to two hours to be felt. However, the effects will also last longer than smoking or vaping, typically lasting four to six hours.

Several factors affect how long it will take for edibles to kick in. Let’s explore them below:

Dosage

Dosage is one of the most significant factors in how long it takes for edibles to kick in. A low dose will take longer to be felt than a higher dose. If you're new to cannabis or trying edibles for the first time, start with a low dose and see how you feel before increasing your dosage.

Metabolism

Another factor that affects how long it takes for edibles to kick in is metabolism. If you have a fast metabolism, the effects of the edible will kick in faster than someone with a slow metabolism.

Age

Age also plays a role in how quickly you will feel the effects of an edible. Older people tend to have a slower metabolism, meaning

it will take longer to feel the effects of cannabis.

Type of Edible

The type of edible you consume will also affect how quickly the effects are felt. Cannabis-infused gummies or candy will take longer to kick in than cannabis-infused chocolate because they have to be digested before they are absorbed into the bloodstream. Check out High Profile Cannabis for a variety of different types of edibles.

Tolerance

If you’re a high-profile cannabis user, you may have built up a tolerance to THC. This means that it will take a higher dose of THC to feel the effects. It will also take longer for the effects to be felt because your body is used to processing THC.

The effects of edibles can vary from person to person. It’s important to start with a low dose and see how you feel before increasing your dosage. Be sure to keep track of how much you have consumed so that you don’t overdo it.

What To Expect When Edibles Kick In

Once the edible kicks in, most users have reported feelings of happiness and relaxation once the edible has kicked in.. You may also experience a sense of euphoria, increased appetite, and reduced anxiety. The effects of an edible can last for several hours, so it's important to be aware of how you're feeling before consuming more. This way, you won't end up feeling paranoid or anxious.

How Do You Make Edibles Kick in Faster?

You can do a few things to make the effects of edibles kick in faster.

  • Empty Stomach - One of the best ways to make edibles kick in faster is to consume them on an empty stomach. This will help the edible to be absorbed into your bloodstream quicker. This is because when you have food in your stomach, it slows down the absorption process.
  • Exercise - Another way to make edibles kick in faster is to exercise after consuming them. Exercise helps to increase your heart rate and blood flow, which will help the edible to be absorbed into your bloodstream quicker.
  • Fatty Foods - Another way to make edibles kick in faster is to consume them with fatty foods. Fatty foods help to break down the THC so that it can be absorbed into your bloodstream quicker.
  • Sublinguals - Sublinguals are a type of edible that is absorbed under the tongue. This allows the THC to be absorbed into the bloodstream quicker because it bypasses the digestive system.
