How Long Does a Weed High Last?
Whenever you consume cannabis, it is important to know what to expect about how long a high will last. Depending on your preferences, you may want to experience a longer high, or you might just want a shorter one to help you chill out. The length of a marijuana high depends on several factors, from consumption method to strength and even your individual body chemistry. Superior Dispensary is here today to help you learn how long the effects of cannabis can last and help you find the best products for the goals you have in mind!
What Affects How Long the High Lasts?
Weed Consumption Method
One factor contributing to the duration of the effects of cannabis is the consumption method. Many customers at Super Dispensary are fans of pre-rolls, vapes, edibles and our cannabis concentrates.
In general, pre-rolls, vapes or cannabis concentrates can take around 5 to 10 minutes to kick in because the THC in the cannabis is able to get to the bloodstream quickly through the lungs.
Cannabis concentrates usually have the fastest response times, are more potent, and give kick stronger effects.
Edibles are a popular option for those wishing to experience the benefits of cannabis discretely, much like vapes. Edibles take longer to kick in because they are not absorbed directly into the bloodstream by way of the lungs and instead are processed through the stomach to be metabolized before they can become absorbed. Generally, edibles take 30 minutes to an hour for the effects to appear, sometimes longer.
If you’re new to cannabis, Superior always recommends starting slow and working your way up from there.
Average Duration Time
Your consumption method doesn’t just determine when your high will kick in. It also determines how long it will last.
The effects from pre-rolls or vaping typically last around 1 to 3 hours and peak around 10 minutes in.
For cannabis concentrates, depending on various factors, the benefits you experience could last as long as a full day.
Effects from edibles last much longer, peaking around 2 to 4 hours and lasting up to 12 hours. Similar to cannabis concentrates, the effects could still be felt for an entire day.
