What is High Food? An overview of THC in food

Imagine biting into a delicious piece chocolate or a freshly baked cookie and suddenly - bam, you feel the fun slowly and gently come over you. That's exactly what high food is. Simply put, they are foods that are enriched with THC, the substance that gives you the "high" when you consume it.

Basically, it works similarly to a regular snack - except that the cookie or chocolate now contains a secret recipe: a small portion of cannabis. But here's the big difference: unlike smoking or vaping weed smoking or vaping, it takes quite a while for these foods to help you realize what's going on. Why? Well, the THC has to pass through your digestive tract before it enters the blood and takes effect. Not a quick high, but a slow, but all the more intense journey.

Think of the effect of eating high like a leisurely walk that slowly unfolds. You won't rush through the door right away, but once you're there, you're all in. 😌

So the next time you bite into a cookie and ask yourself, "When will it happen?", be patient. The effect simply takes time. And what happens then? It's simple: you will feel your condition change. You become more relaxed, maybe a little happier and laughter suddenly becomes much easier. But don't worry - unlike the fast puffs of smoking, the high lasts much longer.

So, eating high is not only a nice way to enjoy cannabis, but also a pretty relaxed way to venture into the world of THC. And don't worry, you won't suddenly be catapulted into another dimension - it's all well dosed. Just stay calm and enjoy the whole thing. 😄

The next time you bite into a cookie, remember: you're now dealing with a real-life superhero of the culinary cannabis universe! 🌿🍪

Can you really get high from eating weed?

Oh yes, absolutely! But before you put a batch of brownies in the oven right now, let's understand the whole thing first. Eating weed works a bit differently than the smoking or vaping. When you smoke cannabis, the THC immediately enters the blood through your lungs and you notice the effects within a few minutes. When eating THC-containing foods, things look a little more leisurely - and that's actually quite cool if you do it right. 😊

Imagine you've just enjoyed a piece of cannabis chocolate. You're waiting... and wait... and suddenly you realize: Aha, now it's getting exciting! Because unlike the quick kick of smoking, you have to be a little more patient when eating weed. Your body must first process the THC through the digestive tract, which can usually take 30 to 90 minutes. During this time, the THC is converted into a stronger form that acts more slowly but lasts longer. A small change in tempo, but the effect is all the more intense for it. 🌱

It's a bit like a leisurely walk where you don't feel much at first, but at some point you realize: "Oops, there's something going on here!" You become more relaxed, suddenly feel creative or maybe just in an incredibly good mood. And the best part? You don't have to keep topping up because the high lasts much longer - sometimes several hours.
