Cannabis edibles are one of the most popular product categories at Illinois dispensaries — and one of the most misunderstood. Get the basics right and you will have a great experience.
How Edibles Work Differently
When you smoke cannabis, THC enters your bloodstream through your lungs within minutes. Edibles are metabolized by your liver, which converts THC into a more potent compound. This takes time and hits harder and longer.
How Long Do Edibles Take to Kick In?
Edibles take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your metabolism and whether you have eaten recently. The most common mistake: not waiting long enough and taking more. Wait at least 2 hours before considering more.
