Why do THC edibles deliver a more potent, potentially halogenic experience than smoking weed? Its not because the dose is more concentrated or more efficient its due to a THC metabolite called 11-hydroxy-THC.
Eating THC sends the compound to the liver where it is converted to the 2-3 times more potent metabolite, 11-hydroxy. While the compound performs the same mechanism to get users high, it is more effective at binding with our cannabinoid receptors.
11-hydroxy also takes longer for the effects to be realized, leading to users taking a dose they can’t handle
