How Drinking Cannabis Hits Different 

Cannabis comes in all forms. You can smoke it, vape it, eat it, and now you can even drink it. Cannabis infused drinks introduce a fairly new way to ingest cannabis. Even with its similarities to consuming alcohol, you may be wondering how will drinking cannabis differ from smoking or eating it? We got you. 

Drinks vs. edibles

While they may seem like similar forms of cannabis, drinks and edibles are actually quite different. When you eat an edible, your body needs to break down the gummy, brownie, or cookie before the cannabinoids can start to enter your bloodstream. Because of this, it may take longer to feel the effects, typically anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. And since edible cannabis needs to go through your digestive system, the effects from this form factor can last up to 12 hours. 

Drinks on the other hand deliver THC and other cannabinoids directly into your bloodstream, so you can feel the effects much more quickly - within 10-15 minutes. Because it’s not going through your digestive system and nothing needs to be broken down, it also leaves your system more quickly. This makes for a more controlled experience, one where you’re not waiting to suddenly feel the edible kick in or feeling trapped if the effects aren’t feeling right for you.

Drinks vs. smokeables

Drinking and smoking or vaping actually have very similar onset effects. Smoking and vaping will come on a little faster, feeling effects minutes or even seconds after inhaling. But with inhaling or drinking, you’ll be feeling something fairly immediately. With smokeables and drinking, you’ll also be coming down from your high more quickly than an edible. 

Drinking and inhaling have their similarities, but where they differ is how THC is delivered. With smoking, THC and other cannabinoids are delivered by burning the cannabis. When you vape, the cannabis is simply heated up. Either of these methods can be difficult for people with lung issues like asthma or cystic fibrosis. Just like smoking tobacco, smoking cannabis can be more harmful.
