What is an Edible High?
An edible high refers to the psychoactive effects experienced after consuming cannabis-infused foods or drinks. Unlike smoking or vaping, the onset of an edible high is slower, typically taking 30 minutes to an hour to kick in.
Factors Affecting Duration
Body Composition: Individuals with a higher body fat percentage may experience a longer-lasting high due to the way THC is metabolized.
Metabolism Rate: Those with a faster metabolism may notice the effects wearing off quicker.
Edible Strength: Higher doses of THC in edibles will lead to a more potent and longer-lasting high.
Duration of Effects
On average, the effects of an edible high can last between 4 to 12 hours. However, this duration can vary significantly from person to person.
Monitoring Your Experience
It's important to start with a low dose and wait for the effects to kick in before consuming more. This helps avoid an unintended intense high.
