Edibles vs Smoking

There are many differences between smoking and eating, or ingesting cannabinoids. The appeal of cannabis infused edibles may lie behind the unlimited, tastier options compared to traditional smoking. It is arguable that edibles are a far healthier alternative to smoking cannabis, due to the negative health effects associated with smoke inhalation. Edibles are absorbed through the digestive system and may take anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours to fully kick in, compared to the almost instantaneous absorption of cannabinoids through the bloodstream when smoking. The effects associated with ingesting cannabis are drastically different and longer lasting compared to the effects of smoking cannabis. Edibles are associated with a body-focused, sedating couch-lock type of high.
