    How would it be absorbed straight through the bloodstream from an edible?

    Not an argument question, just a curious one from a place of ignorance. I always thought the edible had to be digested first, and if it was eaten after food that would slow the digestion of the edible.

      They said it’s absorbed by the stomach lining so it doesn’t have to be digested.

      It’s the same concept as 10% of the alcohol you drink being absorbed by your mouth.

      Through the stomach lining and a little in the mouth. Not all chemicals are able to cross this barrier which is why the original commenter is straight up wrong.

      If you take the edible on a time delay capsule so it bypasses stomach absorption yeah. Different methods have different bioavailability, whether it’s straight decarbed cannabis, suspended in oil, or milk fats. All 3 off those options can be made into brownies or taken as is.

      The person above you seems to be trying to argue for the efficacy of an oil-based thc tincture, which is absorbed sublingually through the mucous membrane beneath the tongue. Because otherwise I guess they’re suggesting that the “edible” be consuming pure thc/oil compound, which would be weed oil or weed butter, and no one should be drinking those.

        The bioavailability of THC depends on the method and vehicle of consumption. Wheter it’s straight decarbed cannabis, suspended in oil, or milk fat. Would all produce different affects when put into the same brownie recipe.

        There is some methods that are better for sublingually dosing than others, but this was about edibles, which still also get absorbed through the mouth and stomach linings.

        Not all chemicals are able to be absorbed this way either, so…

          Bruh I know all this, as should’ve been indicated by my reply. You’re giving off the vibe of someone who wants to fell other people stuff just to seem smart, and not like somebody having a conversion.

            Your reply with assumptions that aren’t even correct themselves?

            Yeah people “drink” oil, you’ve never heard of someone melting butter in tea or even fire crackers?

            I’m open for a conversation, but sometimes you gotta correct people, lmfao.
