100 MG Edible Cannabis Edible Variables

Type of Cannabinoids in Edible

Tolerance

Smoking marijuana and ingesting marijuana can be very different acts. Some people might be able to smoke all day but when they eat a 5 MG edible, be out for a weed nap. Some people might be able to smoke joints all day but can’t handle 10MG. It all depends on your personal tolerance. As well as how long and how frequently you personally eat edibles.

Absorption

Getting the cannabinoids into your bloodstream might affect your high when eating a 100 MG edible. If you ate earlier in the day or if you have ingested anything with terpenes in it, your high might be different.

Metabolism

Everyone single person’s cannabinoid metabolisms are different! There is a special enzyme called CYP3A4. This enzyme controls the body’s ability to absorb these cannabinoids. This is why some people can take very little cannabis edibles and feel really high, while some can eat a whole 100 MG edible and feel very little.

Age

Consuming cannabis may vary based on your age. Whether young or old can effect your high. A recent study found that cannabinoids may be more potent in the elderly.

Carrier Oil

Marijuana can be processed in many different ways. Understanding what is inside your edibles can help you gauge how many MG you should ingest for optimal medicating. This will have a big effect on your question, how strong is a 100MG Edible is.

Is the oil in the edible RSO, BHO, Distillate, CO2, Hash, or Rosin?
Are these processed oils (decarbed completely, extracted correctly)
What are the MG of the cannabinoids that is in it, THC, CBD, CBN, CBC, CBG
What are the terpene concentrations? Terpenes help the cannabinoids pass the blood-brain barrier which cares the medicine straight to the brain, which helps it work better.

Altitude

This doesn’t seem like something you would have to worry about in Michigan but if you eat your edible somewhere else, how “high” you are can be affected by how high you are!

What is Comparable to a Cannabis Edible?

Adam Damon on Facebook said:

“I try to compare it to alcohol since most people have drank way too much at one point. Even though being way to drunk and way too high are different experiences, I feel it can be relatable in terms of having control over your body.”

Bowl = couple beers.

Dab = couple jack and cokes.

A high dose edible for a newbie = whatever amount of shots that would make you say, I never want to do that many shots again lol.”

How Long Do Edibles Last?

Cannabis edibles have very different effects compared to smoking. The time they take to activate can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Then the effects might last for as long as 4 hours to 10 hours depending on how much you have taken.
