Marijuana Edibles

Most people tend to smoke medical marijuana, but those who can't stand the smoke can opt for marijuana edibles. These cannabis-infused foods are ideal for individuals who are suffering from nausea, lack of appetite, or pain. However, smoking and eating cannabis are two very different experiences. Luckily, Toker Friendly has answers to some common questions about ingesting cannabis.

4 Answers to Questions on Marijuana Edibles

1. How Long Before it Takes Effect?

How quickly the body absorbs cannabis depends on the delivery system. Users can feel the herb's effects almost immediately when they smoke marijuana. It's different when it's ingested as the body still has to digest and metabolize edibles. Those with faster metabolism can start feeling

the effects in 30 minutes to an hour while those with slower metabolisms might have to wait for two or more hours.

2. How Long Does the Effect Last?

Marijuana edibles are usually made from concentrated cannabis, like infused oil, hash oil, or cannabis-infused butter. This means that the medicated buzz you get often lasts longer, usually an hour and a half. However, the high THC levels and time it takes for the effects to kick in makes it easy to overindulge. It's best to just eat a portion of the edible and wait before indulging some more.

3. Do Marijuana Edibles Come With an Expiration Date?

Treat edibles like the food they are. The shelf life of a cannabis-laced brownie is the same as that of your favorite brownie. More importantly, edibles don't lose their potency over time so you can refrigerate or freeze them.

4. Can I Fly With Them?

No. While some TSA agents might look the other way if they find you with cannabis edibles, they are few and far between. It is still illegal to fly with marijuana, even in states where retail marijuana is legal. Bear in mind that flying is still under federal jurisdiction and marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance, a classification that allows for criminal prosecution.
