You have to say the activation words: "Man, these edibles ain't shit".
Then you buckle up because the stoner gods will hear that shit and punish/reward you accordingly

You forgot the most important part. You have to utter those words while standing up from the couch.
No the most important part is saying they ain’t shit as you eat another one
Luckily, I was pretty cautious the first times trying them as I'm pretty new to all this, and I just sat on them for for a few hours. After the first hour or so I was indeed saying "these ain't shit!". Later I was indeed rewarded for the wait. lol
I wonder what effect it would have, to chew the edible for a long time rather than swallowing it? Like, would it not absorb the cannabinoids sublingually much quicker than going through the stomach?
I do this with shrooms and it always seems to bring the effects on quicker for me than my friends who just swallow it.
I definitely notice the oral absorption with edibles with just normal eating (not sure if everyone gets that? I have a pretty low tolerance), I've never thought to keep it in my mouth on purpose though. I'll be testing that out next time I have some.
I was planning to go on a trip later today so I'll be trying that trick with shrooms, thanks for the tip.
Edit - I'm mostly back to earth now; I really liked it. normally I feel kinda weird and tingly for the ~hour it takes for shrooms to kick in and sometimes that can put me in a bad headspace, but there was a nice and very noticeable immediate effect with chewing them for ages that helped me get into the right mood to appreciate the 'main event' more. I really needed it :)
No worries, happy tripping :)
Weird that it says 30 to 60 minutes, 2 hours is the correct time. It's quicker for some people so maybe that's where it comes from but to be clear 2 hours is correct. Personally, it takes about an hour and a half, but most people I know are at 2 hours
Whew, ok, good to know my innards aren't too abnormal. ;) Thanks!
Are you waiting on them right now?
Exactly 2 hours had passed when I felt chatty and made this post! :P
Hey yeah, enjoy!
I've found for me that it varies depending on what I ate. Did I take the edibles on an empty stomach then eat something with fat in it? I'll be feeling it in 30 minutes.
Did I take them after eating a carb rich meal? Well I just wasted those edibles. I have no clue when, or if, they'll kick in.
In general however, it's about an hour for me.
If I want to get high quick I just drink half a can of like 25mg soda
Shit kicks in in like 20 minutes for me
A friend introduced me to these and I'm so confused. Why do the drinks hit so quick but gummies take so long?
Hey, I know this is a bit old, but to clarify the reason is bioavailability. Your body absorbs liquids lot quicker than solids or semi-liquids. Also, the way these drinks keep the thc in solution tends to be a fatty substance like MCT which is both more bioavailable and spreads out the thc, allowing it to be absorbed easier and quicker. This is especially needed in the legal side where equal dosage must be kept over the entire liquid
Completely makes sense when you put it that way. I had a shower thought earlier today about this lol maybe our universes aligned for a second.
Truth is they NEVER hit! I guess I didn’t take enough… Oh! Wait a minute…
Rookie mistake
Yeah, that's normal. For me gummies do start having a bit of an effect around an hour, and really settle in around 90 minutes-2 hours. My state limits the THC content to 10mg apiece so I just pop two.
You really want to find live hash rosin gummies, preferably solventless. Most gummies just extract the THC and you don't get as much of an effect. But the live hash rosin ones also extract the CBB and terpenes as well, which makes it more bioavailable to your body. The reason why different strains have different effects on people are the CBD and terpene content, so they're important. Hits harder and a little bit earlier.
I did see a dispensary nearby selling some gummies that claimed they found a new way of extracting everything, so they're supposed to hit much faster at like 15-20 minutes. But they were $70 for just a few gummies, so I declined.
To celebrate one year surviving open heart surgery, I bought a pack of 10 gummies. Was told they were 5mg each and to start by taking one.
Took 1, felt nothing, waited 30 minutes, took 2 more. Felt nothing. Took 3 more, felt nothing, waited an hour, took the last 4.
Still felt nothing. By then it was bed time so I just went to sleep. Nothing, nada. At all.
I found out later that this is a thing...
I have this issue as well
Thc is fat soluable, so eating a higher fat meal before or right after can help the timer speed up some.
I'm too scared to try edibles, because if I'm high and I see gummie candy I'm always going to eat them
The gummie edibles that I've tried aren't tasty enough to go in based on flavor alone... but that post-edible haribo better watch out.
Oh man the gummies I've used are straight delicious and i have to actively make sure i don't have more than i want for the high
I only do tinctures and mints now. Nothing that I could ever find yummy. Too many “surely one little bite of that rice crispy treat won’t get me high” or “another piece of that chocolate won’t get me too high “.
It can vary a lot depending on the type of concentrate you’re consuming and the method that was used. We have nanotech drinks that start hitting in 15 minutes. For cheap distillate edibles I find that they tend to kick in quicker too usually around 45-1 hour for me.
This. Nano emulsion edibles hit me fast . Effects around the 15 minute mark .
I've never had edibles hit within 30min. It's always 1-2 hours.
You believe the internet?!?
You must be high.
It takes an hour or two for me before they hit. Early on circa 2013-14 when I was discovering edibles trying to feel the high, I hate the whole chocolate bar! What an awesome experience.
My wife is like this too. Edibles hit me in well under an hour usually, but for her it'll take at least 2 hours to hit. Everyone is a little different.
I think it’s actually faster when I eat food with it (gummy)
2 hours for me. Unfortunately I gave up at about 1.5 hours and ate another one then left the planet for a few hours
I start feeling it around a hour usually, and then about 2 before it's really kicked in.
Try taking them on an empty stomach, right before you eat a big meal.
I more or less plan on 90 minutes.
You start to feel the effects 30-45 minutes in. But the effect peaks out at around 3 hours in.
The only form I’ve consumed that hits faster is seltzer (30-45min). Which is kinda a fun thing to try, so I recommend it as a sleepy time beverage.
Sublingual tincture hits in 30 to 60 seconds. Fastest non-inhalation method I'm aware of.
Ohhhhhhhh yes, I will need me some of them those.
I did some searching and it looks like it actually might take 15 minutes. Still faster than any edible.
I guess I could be ok with 15 minutes haha. Still crazy good!
If you do try it let me know how fast it hits you. I do CBD tincture so it's a lot harder to tell when it actually onsets. It seems like it starts within a minute but the effect is subtle so it's hard to tell.
