Methods of Consumption

The method in which cannabis is consumed can significantly impact how quickly it begins to work. When inhaled (smoked or vaped), the effects are usually felt within minutes. Edibles, on the other hand, may take longer, from 30 minutes to an hour, to take effect as they are metabolized by the liver.
