the conscious rise of cannabis edibles
THC-infused edibles have become one of the most refined and popular ways to consume cannabis. Their discretion, long-lasting effects, and culinary versatility make them appealing—but also the method that requires the most education.
With products offering 100 mg of THC per package, understanding dosage, metabolism, and extract type is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience.
🍪 What are edibles and how do they differ from other methods?
Edibles are foods or drinks infused with THC and consumed orally, not inhaled.
Consumption method comparison
| Method | Onset | Duration | Experience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smoking | 2–10 min | 2–4 hrs | Immediate |
| Vaping | 5–10 min | 2–4 hrs | Controlled |
| Edibles | 45–120 min | 6–8+ hrs | Deep & physical |
| Tinctures | 15–45 min | 4–6 hrs | Balanced |
When consuming edibles, THC is metabolized by the liver into 11-hydroxy-THC, a compound that is more potent and longer-lasting than inhaled THC.
That’s why edibles:
- Feel stronger
- Last longer
- Require patience and proper dosing

🌿 THC vs derived cannabinoids in edibles
- Traditional Delta-9 THC produces strong body effects when eaten
- Derived cannabinoids may feel different depending on chemistry
- Dosage alone does not define the experience—metabolism matters
🧪 Solventless vs solvent-based extracts
| Factor | Solventless | Solvent-based |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor | Cleaner | Neutral |
| Terpenes | Better preserved | Variable |
| Potency | Balanced | More direct |
| Experience | Craft | Industrial |
