If you’ve ever thought about trying marijuana but don’t want to smoke the product, an option would be to use an edible. These are often similar to gummy candies, but there are a few things to keep in mind about edibles that are a bit different than the marijuana that you inhale.
Longer-Lasting
In most circumstances, Colorado edibles tend to have an effect that will last longer than if you were to inhale the product. Your body typically won’t absorb the THC in the edibles as fast as it would if it was inhaled, which means that the THC is in your body longer. Most of the time, the effects of edibles can last about 12 hours compared to a few hours if you inhale marijuana.
Intensity
You could find that edibles deliver an intense high compared to what you would experience if you were to inhale marijuana. This is due to the liver digesting the THC and turning it into a stronger form of the drug, which can have an intense impact on your senses. You might notice smells a bit stronger, and your sense of sight could be altered a bit more as well.
Timing
While the effects of Colorado edibles can be a bit more intense, you might not notice them for a while longer. The THC does take some time to get into your system. Don’t think that you need to consume more edibles because you aren’t feeling anything as this could result in a stronger experience.
