What do cannabis edibles do to your body?
Cannabis edibles contain THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. It’s a psychoactive compound in cannabis plants that interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to create euphoric effects. The THC in edibles is actually processed in the liver, where it’s converted to a more potent form called 11-hydroxy-THC. It creates stronger effects that last longer, but the process of digestion means effects can take longer to kick in—up to two hours in some cases. Remember to start with a low dose and be patient for the best experience.
