Medical Cannabis…
Like THC, CBD also has a more pharmacologically active “hydroxy” metabolite when ingested. So while smoking cannabis delivers fast acting, more bioavailable cannabinoids. Ingesting cannabis packs a longer lasting, more potent punch that offsets lower bioavailability.

One cool thing I learned this week is one of the main metabolites of THC is up to 4 times more potent than THC. Hydroxy-THC is a psychoactive, first pass metabolite that is made when the liver breaks down THC. But in order for the liver to break it down it must be ingested.
Edibles are sneaky!
