Luckily, I was pretty cautious the first times trying them as I'm pretty new to all this, and I just sat on them for for a few hours. After the first hour or so I was indeed saying "these ain't shit!". Later I was indeed rewarded for the wait. lol
I wonder what effect it would have, to chew the edible for a long time rather than swallowing it? Like, would it not absorb the cannabinoids sublingually much quicker than going through the stomach?
I do this with shrooms and it always seems to bring the effects on quicker for me than my friends who just swallow it.
I definitely notice the oral absorption with edibles with just normal eating (not sure if everyone gets that? I have a pretty low tolerance), I've never thought to keep it in my mouth on purpose though. I'll be testing that out next time I have some.
I was planning to go on a trip later today so I'll be trying that trick with shrooms, thanks for the tip.
Edit - I'm mostly back to earth now; I really liked it. normally I feel kinda weird and tingly for the ~hour it takes for shrooms to kick in and sometimes that can put me in a bad headspace, but there was a nice and very noticeable immediate effect with chewing them for ages that helped me get into the right mood to appreciate the 'main event' more. I really needed it :)
Weird that it says 30 to 60 minutes, 2 hours is the correct time. It's quicker for some people so maybe that's where it comes from but to be clear 2 hours is correct. Personally, it takes about an hour and a half, but most people I know are at 2 hours
I've found for me that it varies depending on what I ate. Did I take the edibles on an empty stomach then eat something with fat in it? I'll be feeling it in 30 minutes.
Did I take them after eating a carb rich meal? Well I just wasted those edibles. I have no clue when, or if, they'll kick in.
In general however, it's about an hour for me.
Yeah, that's normal. For me gummies do start having a bit of an effect around an hour, and really settle in around 90 minutes-2 hours. My state limits the THC content to 10mg apiece so I just pop two.
You really want to find live hash rosin gummies, preferably solventless. Most gummies just extract the THC and you don't get as much of an effect. But the live hash rosin ones also extract the CBB and terpenes as well, which makes it more bioavailable to your body. The reason why different strains have different effects on people are the CBD and terpene content, so they're important. Hits harder and a little bit earlier.
I did see a dispensary nearby selling some gummies that claimed they found a new way of extracting everything, so they're supposed to hit much faster at like 15-20 minutes. But they were $70 for just a few gummies, so I declined.
It can vary a lot depending on the type of concentrate you’re consuming and the method that was used. We have nanotech drinks that start hitting in 15 minutes. For cheap distillate edibles I find that they tend to kick in quicker too usually around 45-1 hour for me.
My wife is like this too. Edibles hit me in well under an hour usually, but for her it'll take at least 2 hours to hit. Everyone is a little different.
It takes an hour or two for me before they hit. Early on circa 2013-14 when I was discovering edibles trying to feel the high, I hate the whole chocolate bar! What an awesome experience.
