Injested Cannabis Vs. Smoked Cannabis

[notbakedenough]

Now like any stoner I know that eaten cannabis produces a different effect compared to smoked. But what I would like to see is a site that outlines the medical benefits of both and what each is better for. Could anyone link me to a good site? I know I can just google it, but I haven't found too much info.

Thanks in advance GC.

Think of ingested vs. smoked/tincture kinda like the long-acting vs. short-acting opiates. Smoked and tincture forms of cannabis behave more immediately and last for shorter amounts of time. Edibles take longer to start, but last longer.

Edibles are especially good for nighttime, for trouble with sleep.
Though, you can dose your edibles so that they work short term merely by eating smaller amounts at varying intervals.
Edibles seem to give one more widespread coverage for pain. Whereas smoked and tinctures are good for breakthrough pain (pain which occurs when the longer acting med is waning in strength).

Like with anything, inhaling a substance causes more immediate effect.
If you really wanna catch a caffeine kick, inhale the smoke from a coffee bean roaster! LOL

just thought i'd add that when thc is eaten it turns from delta 9 thc to delta 11 thc which is almost 5 times as psychoactive as delta 9 thc

in my experience, which is pretty vast in edibles and very vast in smoking, ive noticed that almost every time i bake anything, i'm out like a light in under ten hours, no matter how early i take it (first thing in the morning, sunrise, before a day of light skiing/non powder day, etc.)

if you're lookin for a nice knockout, i'd cook up some stuff with some heavy afgan/indica stuff and make sure you dont ahve any forklifts to operate inthe next twelve hours, lol.
