When taking edibles, you can expect to experience the effects of the active ingredient, THC, in a slower and more intense way than when smoking or vaping cannabis. The onset of the effects can take up to 2 hours, and the duration can last up to 8 hours or more. The effects can vary depending on the dosage, individual tolerance, and the specific edible product consumed. It’s important to start with a low dosage and be patient to avoid overconsumption and potential negative side effects.
