Welcome back to the Anarchy Vape Blog!
Today, we're revisiting the intriguing topic of how edibles and smoking weed offer different experiences. And to spice things up, I'll be sharing a personal, and quite humorous, story that perfectly illustrates these differences.
Onset Time: A Waiting Game vs. Instant Gratification
The most noticeable difference between edibles and smoking is the onset time. When you smoke weed, the effects are almost immediate, as THC enters your bloodstream quickly through your lungs. Edibles, on the other hand, are a slow burn, taking anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, or more, to kick in.
The Tale of Overestimation
One night, I was hanging out with a good buddy of mine, enjoying the classic ritual of smoking a blunt. As the evening unfolded, he revealed that he also had some edibles. Now, these weren't your standard 100 mg edibles; these were a whopping 500 mg!
Being in a state of high bliss from the blunt and accustomed to lower-dose edibles, I, without much thought, started devouring these potent treats. It wasn't until I had almost polished off the entire bag that a realization hit me like a freight train: I had consumed nearly 500 mg of THC!
Edibles vs Smoking Weed: A Comparison of Duration and Intensity
Smoking typically results in a high that lasts for a few hours, whereas edibles can leave you feeling effects for much longer, sometimes up to 8 hours or more. The intensity of the high from edibles can also be much stronger due to the conversion of THC into a more potent compound in the liver.
The Intensity of Edibles: A Cautionary Tale
This incident showcases the delayed, but intense, impact of edibles compared to smoking, a key factor in the 'Edibles vs Smoking Weed' discussion. If I had been a rookie, I probably would have been rushing to the hospital, but luckily, my experience with THC reassured me that it was just a powerful dose of good ol' edibles. This stark contrast in my experience highlights why understanding the difference between edibles and smoking weed is crucial, especially for those new to cannabis or those who are more familiar with one method over the other.
Dosage and Control: Precision vs. Predictability
When smoking, it's easier to control your dosage. With edibles, however, due to the delayed onset, it's easy to consume too much before the effects fully kick in. Always start with a low dose and be patient.
Lessons Learned
This funny (and slightly alarming) experience taught me a valuable lesson about respecting the potency of edibles and the importance of being mindful of dosages. It's a clear example of how edibles can produce a much more intense and longer-lasting high compared to the quick-hit nature of smoking.
Conclusion: Respect the Edible
Whether you're a seasoned cannabis enthusiast or a curious newcomer, my story serves as a reminder to approach edibles with caution and respect. Always start low, go slow, and remember that edibles can pack a much stronger punch than your average smoke session.
