THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical found in cannabis plants that is responsible for its psychological effects. This means that it is responsible for the mind-altering effects, or the “high” of cannabis. It can be used as THC gummies and other cannabis edible products.
THC affects the endocannabinoid system (ECS) of the body. The ECS is composed of cannabinoid receptors, and THC acts similar to cannabinoid chemicals naturally found in the body. THC binds itself to the cell’s receptors and activates them. These receptors are abundant in the brain, and this is the reason why THC alters thoughts, memory, pleasure, coordination, and the sensory and time perception of a person.
THC stimulates the brain to release dopamine, and this creates euphoria. It also interferes with the memory-processing function of the hippocampus. These can all induce hallucinations and changes in thoughts and mood. Despite these short-term side effects, THC brags about several medicinal benefits. It can be used for pain relief and for calming anxiety. THC can also fight tumors and can treat or manage different ailments such as ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, autism, Parkinson’s disease, chronic and neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and many more.
What Are THC Gummies?
THC gummies are a kind of cannabis edible. Edibles are food products infused with cannabinoids of the cannabis plant. They are a popular method of consuming cannabis as they are a safe and discreet way to take THC. The THC in edibles is processed differently than smoked cannabinoids. When edibles are ingested, they enter the bloodstream, then get processed by the liver. They then go back to the bloodstream. The whole process may take a while; the active ingredients may only enter the brain and induce an effect within 30 minutes. But while the onset of the impact is slower as compared to the smoking method, the effects of edibles are longer-lasting, ranging from four to six hours.
THC gummies are sweet, colorful, and flavorful edibles. They are easy to eat, and they never leave a mess behind. They come with a sugary kick to mask the earthy taste of cannabis. They are shaped in various fun forms, from the classic gummy bears to Lego bricks; there’s a huge assortment of shapes, flavors, and colors for you to choose from.
How long does the effects of THC gummies last, if you ask? This gummy’s effects depend on the person’s metabolism and tolerance. Generally, an average dose can last for 6 hours or more, with the peak kicking in at 3 hours after ingestion. Again, this varies depending on the person’s metabolism. People with fast metabolism may get the onset of the effects earlier, but the effects won’t last for someone with a slower metabolism.
Individual tolerance also plays a huge part in how long THC gummies effects last. Those who are newbies to cannabis products may feel the effects longer and much more intense because their body takes time in processing THC in their system.
Smoking is not for everyone. So if you are looking for ways to consume cannabis with zero drawbacks, grab a bag of THC gummies. They are an excellent way to get less lung irritation.
