Have you ever eaten an edible and found yourself waiting… and waiting… and waiting for it to kick in? If so, you’re not alone! Many people have experienced the frustration of wondering just how long it takes for edibles to start working.
So, how long do edibles take to kick in? The answer is that it can vary widely depending on a number of factors. Here are a few things that can affect the length of time it takes for edibles to start working:
Your metabolism: Just like with any other type of food, your metabolism can play a role in how quickly your body processes edibles. If you have a faster metabolism, you may find that edibles take effect more quickly. On the other hand, if you have a slower metabolism, it may take longer for you to feel the effects of an edible.
The type of edible: Different types of edibles can be absorbed by the body at different rates. For example, edibles that are made with fat (such as brownies or cookies) may be absorbed more slowly than edibles that are made with water (such as gummies or hard candies).
The dosage: The strength of the edible will also play a role in how long it takes to kick in. A higher dosage may take longer to start working, while a lower dosage may take effect more quickly.
Your surroundings: If you’re in a relaxed environment, you may find that edibles take effect more quickly. On the other hand, if you’re in a stressful or busy environment, it may take longer for the effects to be noticeable.
So, as you can see, there are a number of factors that can affect how long it takes for edibles to start working. In general, it’s a good idea to start with a low dosage and give it plenty of time (at least an hour or two) before deciding to take more. And remember, it’s always important to be mindful of your surroundings and make sure you’re in a safe and comfortable place before consuming edibles. Happy munching!
