You\u2019re not imagining it. Cannabis edibles really do feel different from smoking or vaping. Not only do they take substantially longer to kick in, but they tend to produce a more intense experience than flower does \u2013 you may have heard it described as a \u201cbody high.\u201d They also last a long time, anywhere from 4-6 hours for most people, which means taking one can be kind of an all-day affair.<\/p>\n

Now, don\u2019t get us wrong. There\u2019s a lot to love about edibles. They\u2019re discreet, portable, lung-friendly, and (when made correctly) delicious. But not everybody enjoys that heavy \u201cbody high\u201d sensation. Or, even if they do, sometimes they don\u2019t have the time to commit to it for a full six hours.<\/p>\n

Wana Brands<\/a>, North America\u2019s #1 creator of infused products, has developed a new line of gummies that combines all the benefits of an edible with the convenience and effects of smoking a joint. They\u2019re called\u00a0Wana Quick Fast-Acting Gummies<\/a><\/u>. In order to explain how they work, we will answer a few key questions:<\/p>\n

1) Why Do Edibles and Smoking Feel so Different?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Science is involved, but it\u2019s not as complicated as you might think. When you inhale cannabis, you\u2019re pulling what\u2019s known as\u00a0Delta-9-THC\u00a0into your lungs. From there it passes directly into your bloodstream. This happens very quickly, so you feel effects almost immediately. What\u2019s more, the effects of Delta-9 THC tend to be relatively light and cerebral (some people call it a \u201chead high\u201d) and last only 2-4 hours.<\/p>\n

When you ingest edibles, on the other hand, they have to travel through your liver before you can feel them working. This takes time \u2013 usually between 45 and 90 minutes. But just as importantly, it means they undergo a process called \u201cfirst pass metabolism,\u201d which converts those Delta-9-THC molecules into 11-Hydroxy-THC.<\/strong>\u00a011-Hydroxy is believed to be much better than Delta-9 at crossing the blood-brain barrier (the layer of blood vessels that keeps harmful substances from reaching your brain). This explains why the effects you feel from edibles can be so much stronger and more body focused. Edibles are in fact two to three times more potent than a Delta-9 inhalation high.<\/p>\n

2) So Then\u2026 How is it Possible an Edible Could Feel Like Smoking?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It all comes down to a pretty simple concept. Let\u2019s call it \u201cthe oil and water problem.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

You may not know that cannabinoids like THC and CBD are actually lipids, otherwise known as fats. Your body is made of approximately 70% water. Fats (like oil) and water don\u2019t mix well. So, when you ingest cannabinoids, your body has to work really hard to absorb and metabolize them.<\/p>\n

In the case of Wana Quick Gummies, Wana tackled this problem by harnessing an innovative new technology known as TiME (Thermodynamic individual Molecular Encapsulation). TiME encapsulates each tiny THC molecule in a water-soluble layer. Think of this layer as a kind of disguise that tricks your water-based body into absorbing the fatty THC molecules.<\/p>\n

This watery subterfuge means the THC in Wana Quick Gummies can enter your bloodstream\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0it undergoes first pass metabolism in your liver. This means it hits much faster than traditional edibles \u2013 typically between 5 and 15 minutes. It also means that the Delta-9-THC is never converted into those more intense, body-focused 11-Hydroxy molecules.<\/p>\n

The result? A fast-acting edible that actually feels like smoking!<\/p>\n

3) But What if I Like Traditional Edibles?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s pretty clear why Wana Quick Gummies are a great option for people who don\u2019t like regular edibles: They provide the desired inhalation-like effects without harming your lungs or drawing unwanted attention with smoke and smells. But if you\u2019re actually a big fan of the traditional edibles experience, Wana Quick still offers many benefits:\u00a0<\/p>\n
