Marijuana Smoking Vs Edibles
When smoking, the psychoactive compound THC is gratitude Delta 9 THC which binds to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. This will cause constant stimulation of neurons quite like a pinball machine. During smoking, THC is rapidly absorbed from the lungs into the blood circulation; from there, it crosses the blood-brain barrier.
Smoking gives a faster high because of this; however, it has a shorter duration when compared with edibles. THC is dissolved into fats such as butter when making edibles, aka space cakes, due to its lipophilic properties. The THC is once again converted to Delta 9 THC due to the heat applied when cooking, achieving the high when taking edibles, usually taking much longer from anywhere between thirty minutes to two hours. This is because the drug is absorbed by the gut and then processed by the liver in the liver.
The Delta 9 THC is converted to 11 o H THC; this chemical is highly potent and has a higher affinity for the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, therefore giving a stronger and longer high when consuming edibles. Many other factors affect a person’s high, such as the strain of cannabis use, the quantity, and the person’s history, such as mental health and previous drug experiences. However, it is often a lot harder to predict how high you will get when on edibles due to the change in the potency of the THC chemical.
Luckily enough, marijuana is not toxic, so there won’t be any long-term side effects or chances of an overdose—just the potential of going on a bad trip if you’re not careful. If you find this blog post about “Marijuana Smoking Vs Edibles” please share
