Understanding the Basics of Edibles
Edibles are a popular and convenient way to consume cannabis. They are made by infusing cannabis into food or drink products like brownies, gummies, chocolates, and more. Edibles have gained massive popularity among cannabis enthusiasts because of their potency and prolonged effects.
How Edibles Work
Edibles work differently from smoking or vaping cannabis. When you smoke or vape cannabis, the THC enters your bloodstream rapidly, leading to quick onset effects but shorter duration. In contrast, edibles need to pass through your digestive system before the THC can enter your bloodstream. This method takes longer to take effect, but the effects last longer.
The Potency of Edibles
Edibles are more potent than smoking or vaping cannabis. To feel the same level of highness from edibles as smoking, you need to consume a smaller amount of THC. The effects of edibles can take longer to kick in, leading many beginners to consume more edibles in a shorter amount of time, which can lead to overdosing.
Yes, edibles can be detected through security measures like airport scanners, but it can be challenging to distinguish them from regular food products. Airport security measures are more focused on liquids and gels, which are easier to identify. However, if you are carrying a large amount of edibles or infused products, they may show up on the scanner.
Concealing Edibles
If you are traveling with edibles, it’s best to pack them in your checked luggage. Place them in a container that is not transparent or marked as cannabis-infused products. It’s also essential to know your state’s laws regarding cannabis-infused products. Some states have strict regulations regarding the transportation of cannabis products.
Tips for Concealing Edibles
- Pack edibles in a container that doesn’t look like a cannabis-infused product.
- Don’t transport edibles in your carry-on luggage.
- Know the laws of the state you are traveling to or from.
Conclusion
Edibles are a popular way to consume cannabis, but they can be challenging to transport. It’s essential to understand the laws of the state you are traveling to or from before packing edibles in your luggage. While edibles can be detected through security measures, they are less likely to be identified than liquids or gels. Remember to pack edibles in a non-transparent container that doesn’t indicate cannabis-infused products.
