Edibles are incredible. They satisfy your sweet tooth while getting you high in a discreet, convenient way.

Fast-acting edibles can take your experience to the next level by lowering the onset time of the psychoactive effects of cannabis.

Let’s take a look at the science behind fast-acting gummies and other cannabis edibles.

What Are Cannabis Edibles?

Edibles are yummy cannabis products that come in the form of classic snacks and desserts.

Traditional edibles are candies, baked goods, and other treats that are infused with cannabinoids like Delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).

These cannabinoids are chemical compounds naturally found in the cannabis plant that give cannabis products like edibles their effects.

How Edibles Work

THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis, the one that cannabis consumers know and love for the high it produces. Without THC, edibles won’t get you high.

When you eat typical edibles, it takes time for the THC molecules to break down and do their work — often between 30 minutes and an hour and a half.

Factors like your body weight, metabolism, and the amount of time since you last ate can increase or decrease the onset time for an edible.

Nanoemulsion: What Makes Fast-Acting Edibles Work

Fast-acting gummies and other rapid-onset edibles work so quickly thanks to a process called nanoemulsion. Here’s how it works:

  • Bioavailability measures how easily your body can break down a substance and absorb it. Nanoemulsion increases the bioavailability of THC by breaking molecules down into tiny, submolecular particles.

  • This process happens when cannabis oil is processed to attach to microscopic particles of water, which are much easier for your body to process.

  • These particles can reach your body’s endocannabinoid system faster than THC molecules, which means a quicker onset of the effects of the edible.

  • While it can take 30, 60, or even 90 minutes for your body to process a typical edible, the onset of effects for a fast-acting gummy can be less than 15 minutes after ingestion.

  • The faster onset rate makes these gummies more consistent and predictable than some traditional edibles, adding to their appeal even more.

Are Fast-Acting Edibles Right for Me?

Edibles are fun, discreet, and tasty, and they make cannabis use simpler than ever. While smoking and vaping can be relaxing and invigorating, gummies and otheredibles are a new level of low maintenance.

Fast-acting gummies are even more convenient and easy to use since you barely have to wait to feel the effects. All you need to do is pop a gummy, chill for a few minutes, then let the wave wash over you.

Overall, fast-acting gummies are our top recommendation for you if you want to feel the effects of edibles as quickly as possible and get a consistent high.

Where To Get Fast-Acting Gummies

The Farm Bill transformed the cannabis industry by changing the way that cannabis products are regulated. Under this bill, any products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight are classified as hemp, while anything above this level is labeled marijuana.

Thanks to the Farm Bill, you can get fast-acting gummies and other hemp products at a dispensary near you or order them online from most states — as long as they contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.

All of the products in the Mood Shop, including our gummies, meet the Farm Bill’s standards for hemp products and are carefully tested for quality, potency, and consistency. You can count on Mood for an incredible high every time, no matter how you choose to enjoy your cannabis.

FAQs About Fast-Acting Gummies

Q: Can I make my own gummies at home?

A: While you can make cannabis gummies in your own kitchen, you won’t have access to the state-of-the-art technology used to create fast-acting edibles. Plus, homemade gummies can sometimes be inconsistent in their cannabinoid content, leading to a less predictable high.

For these reasons, we always recommend grabbing your edibles from a trusted source like the Mood Shop.

Q: Are fast-acting edibles high-potency?

A: Edibles can range in their cannabinoid and terpene content — some only contain a microdose of THC, while others are infused with powerful cannabis concentrates.

When you order edibles from the Mood Shop, check for our helpful potency rating, which classifies all of our products as either mild, medium, or high. This guideline will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

Q: What about other edibles?

A: You have plenty of options for edibles, and you don’t need to stick with just the gummies. While you can expect a faster onset from certain gummies than traditional edibles, that doesn’t make gummies the reigning champ. Other candies, baked goods, tinctures, gel caps, and more are all fantastic options as well. However, these products usually won’t have the same rapid-onset effects.
