Oral ingestion of cannabis has three particularly promising avenues through oil, gel capsules and mouth sprays. All three allow the user to dose themselves with a high degree of accuracy with essentially no reported adverse effects. Another method that is gaining popularity is edibles, however, this method presents concerns with regards to dosing. Depending on how the cannabinoids are infused, there can be uneven distribution of active ingredients leading to unpredictable results. Another method that faces issues is infused teas as the temperature of the water is not sufficient to decarboxylate the acidic forms of the cannabinoids. This severely limits the effectiveness of the teas as a dosing method. The onset of orally ingesting cannabis is 60-180 minutes due to having to pass through the GI tact and then through the liver. This longer route to the blood-brain barriers means the effects take longer to set in, and some CBD can degrade while passing through the digestive tract, which means you would need to take much higher doses than you would through smoking or va**ng, but the duration of effects is longer usually lasting 6-8 hours. It has less odor, more convenient and discrete and is suitable for treating chronic disease and symptoms.
