Can THC edibles be taken before or after a meal?
You can take THC edibles, which are made with tetrahydrocannabinol, before or after a meal as it suits you, but it can change the experience. Eating an edible on an empty stomach means the cannabinoids are absorbed a little faster, which can mean detectable effects are noticeable sooner. If you take THC edibles after a meal, especially one with healthy fat sources, the food in your stomach slows down the absorption process. That means effects come on much more slowly for a more manageable, gradual experience.
