Methods of Cannabis Consumption
Inhaling vs Ingesting Cannabinoids
Whether you consume cannabis by inhalation (smoking or vaping) or ingestion (tinctures, oils, and edibles) affects how your body metabolizes the cannabinoids and how quickly you feel the effects.
When you inhale cannabinoids you get faster absorption, shorter duration of effects, and an enhanced entourage effect. Smoking or vaping cannabinoids causes them to enter the bloodstream very quickly through the lungs. Effects are usually felt within minutes, making it ideal for users looking for immediate relief. These effects peak quickly and typically last 2-4 hours, depending on the person and the dose.
When you ingest cannabinoids you get slower absorption, longer-lasting effects, and precise dosing. When cannabinoids are ingested (through tinctures, oils, or edibles), they are metabolized through the digestive system and liver, which can delay effects by anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Although it takes a bit longer to start feeling them, ingested cannabinoids have longer-lasting effects, typically around 4-12 hours. This makes ingestion ideal for prolonged relief, such as for chronic pain or sleep support. With our tinctures and FECO you get precise and consistent dosing, which is helpful for those needing steady, long-lasting relief.
