How does the potency of THC Gummies compare to smoking cannabis?
Because they’re ingested, THC gummies are metabolized differently in the body than smoked cannabis. Onset of effects is much slower, but those effects can be more intense because ingested THC is converted into 11-OH-THC in the liver. It’s a more potent psychoactive compound that lasts longer in the blood than THC, which goes directly from the lungs to the blood to the brain for more rapid effects.
