The Internet tells me it takes 30 to 60 minutes for edibles to take effect, but I don't feel the full effects until almost 2 hours later! - eviltoast

Anyone else have this?

    You have to say the activation words: “Man, these edibles ain’t shit”.

    Then you buckle up because the stoner gods will hear that shit and punish/reward you accordingly

      You forgot the most important part. You have to utter those words while standing up from the couch.

      Luckily, I was pretty cautious the first times trying them as I’m pretty new to all this, and I just sat on them for for a few hours. After the first hour or so I was indeed saying “these ain’t shit!”. Later I was indeed rewarded for the wait. lol

      I wonder what effect it would have, to chew the edible for a long time rather than swallowing it? Like, would it not absorb the cannabinoids sublingually much quicker than going through the stomach?

      I do this with shrooms and it always seems to bring the effects on quicker for me than my friends who just swallow it.

        I definitely notice the oral absorption with edibles with just normal eating (not sure if everyone gets that? I have a pretty low tolerance), I’ve never thought to keep it in my mouth on purpose though. I’ll be testing that out next time I have some.

        I was planning to go on a trip later today so I’ll be trying that trick with shrooms, thanks for the tip.

        Edit - I’m mostly back to earth now; I really liked it. normally I feel kinda weird and tingly for the ~hour it takes for shrooms to kick in and sometimes that can put me in a bad headspace, but there was a nice and very noticeable immediate effect with chewing them for ages that helped me get into the right mood to appreciate the ‘main event’ more. I really needed it :)
