Traditional edibles (like gummies or chocolate bars) are typically higher dose – ranging from 5mg to 30mg to even 100mg THC per edible – and can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two-plus hours to kick in. Why so long? Traditional edibles are typically oil-based, meaning the cannabinoids are absorbed directly into your bloodstream.
Cannabis-infused beverages are typically infused with a water-soluble formulation, meaning the cannabinoids are absorbed through your mouth then your tongue then the digestive tract. The immediate absorption in your mouth means you can feel the effects 10 to 15 minutes later. So while Cann is a low-dose beverage (2mg THC), consumers new to cannabis might feel effects more immediately or intensely.
The perk of a faster onset? You’ll quickly know how you feel so you’re in control of your buzz. Take a few sips, wait 10-15 minutes, and adjust. We aim to allow all consumers – new or experienced – the ability to control their buzz. Plus, our 8oz Cann includes 4mg CBD to help balance the psychoactive effects of cannabis (so you’re not out in space).
