Medical marijuana is also consumed orally, especially by long-term medical users with acute chronic conditions. In that method, as with oral pharmaceutical preparations, medical effectiveness depends on digestion and the individual's relative ability to absorb the medicinal compounds through the stomach lining. In general, marijuana that is eaten takes several hours for full effectiveness, but once absorbed, cannabis compounds may remain active in the body for an entire day or night. Eating marijuana can be even more medically effective than smoking or vaporizing, but usually requires the use of much greater amounts. For some patients, the slightly different effects of eating marijuana can be too overwhelming. For others, oral ingestion may be less effective in symptomatic relief than inhalation.
