First, I want to say thanks for all those who participate in this forum. This is my first post, and I'm sure I'll find some much need knowledge here.
I have been using medical cannabis for years. I normally use either the flower, via a bong, or a vape pen. (The O-Pen set up type).
Yesterday, I decided to try an edible for the first time. I've always been leery of the dosing, and the time of on-set. I went ahead and ate one of those small round brownies, which I have been told contains roughly 45 mg of THC. The onset began within about 50 minutes and lasted around two hours, before I noticed a decline. I was so impressed with the entire experience, that I went out and purchased some edible hard candy, 10 mg each piece.
My Question:
I have come to understand that with the hard candy, the THC is actually absorbed by way of "oral uptake," vs. "
"gastrointestinal uptake." In-other-words, the hard candy is absorbed into the blood stream by absorption through some glands rather than being metabolized during the digestive process.
I understand that the hard candy will be absorbed within about 20 minutes vs. 1-2 hours with the other forms of edibles, such as brownies.
Can anybody share their time frame on how soon they felt the effects and how long the effects lasted before they began to wear off, compared to a brownies type of edible?
Thanks again for your time.
Regards, b1rd
