Edibles High & Side Effects

 

Read on for some edible effects, and everything else you could ever need to know about this awesome way to get high.

Edibles side effects

It sounds awesome, but be mindful of the fact that there are side effects. It is much easier to “go overboard” with edibles compared to smoking marijuana.

Granted, you can’t overdose on marijuana, as you know, no one has ever died from marijuana before. But if you do over consume, don’t say we didn’t warn you, because you will feel like you’re dying as it can be very intense.

Are edibles bad for you?

Short answer to this is no. Marijuana edibles are just that, they have marijuana in them. You will get high off of them, but that doesn’t make them bad for you. However, if you consume gummy or sugary baked edibles all the time, those ingredients won’t be a great addition to your diet and that could be considered bad. 

Do edibles make your eyes red?

This is all dependent on how your body reacts to marijuana and cannabis. A good indication to tell if you’ll get red eyes is based on how your eyes change when you smoke. If you smoke weed and your eyes get red, you can bet that your eyes will be bloodshot red a couple hours after eating an edible.

However, that doesn’t mean you want to be carefree with your edible consumption. If you take too much it can result in extreme disorientation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, an upset stomach, or extreme anxiety. Naturally, you don’t want that.

The solution is to be smart with your dosing and give edibles the respect they demand.

How long do edibles take to kick in?

Edibles are absorbed through your liver, and intestinal, digestive tract. It typically takes anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes for the edible to kick in. However, it’s important to note, the time it takes to kick in ranges on a number of things, including the potency, the food item, your weight, how much you’ve eaten that day, and the dosage taken.

At the fastest, edibles can be felt within thirty minutes and after two hours you should definitely be feeling the effects. Because of how long do edibles take to hit you it is dependent on those factors, make sure you remain in a controlled environment after taking an edible.

With that said, here is another warning. Don’t eat more if you’re not feeling the effect within an hour. For some people it can take a long time for the edible to kick in and the last thing you want to do is consume too much and go overboard.

If you’re wondering how to make edibles kick in faster, there are a couple of options. However, most of them aren’t advisable. Many enthusiasts swear by drinking orange or mango juice because the fruit molecules combine with the THC/CBD molecules providing an intensified longer lasting effect.

Or if you’re really up to it, you could just eat an edible with a higher dose but we warned you and don’t really recommend it.

What does an edible high feel like?

Edibles highs are different for every person based on your tolerance, cannabinoid intake and type of edible you consume. However, the feeling can be described as an intense body high with steady euphoric experiences. They are known for producing a couch potato, sedative effect, even on experienced users.

This is because marijuana edibles are metabolized by the liver allowing the THC go throughout your body compared to smoking and having the THC enter your bloodstream. 

If you’re looking for one of the stereotypical cinematic stoner experiences where you sit on your couch with slanted eyes and laugh at nothing in particular, edibles might be the way to go.

Watch this video of an older couple consuming an edible with 110 mg of THC. They seem to be having a good ole time.

After consuming one, it can even be difficult to figure out how to know if your high off edibles because it can take so long to kick in. For many people though, the experience of getting high with edibles happens very gradually over hours at a time.

Look for gradual changes in perception. If you find yourself staring out into space for extended periods of time, that’s a common sign that the edible is starting to kick in. Of course, before too long it will become pretty clear that the THC and CBD are working their magic.
