Like today’s political climate in the United States, the weed-loving world stands divided on a number of issues. But unlike the corrupted world of US politics, those in support of marijuana still find some common ground. They unite behind their love for Mary Jane. Even so, what may make one person high and happy may make another paranoid and uncomfortable. So what actually divides them is how they get their weed high. Do they prefer the harsh hit of smoke or the thick thud of a high that hits thirty minutes after eating a space cake? Certainly, other methods of getting high off of marijuana are available, but these two reign supreme. And it’s up to the individual how they prefer to dance with Mary Jane. But what sets these two ways of getting stoned apart?
Let’s break down the differences between these sure-fire ways of getting high. When it deciding between edibles vs smoking, what will be the best option for you?
1. The Potency of the High
Of course, it’s obvious what matters most to some people when choosing between edibles vs smoking. Generally, you want to know “how high will this get me?” And while some mighty tokers and cannabis connoisseurs may enjoy reaching the utmost limits of their high, some want more control. And when it comes to the showdown of smoking vs edibles, the clear winner of what gets you more stoned remains clear. Edibles are stronger than smoking, or at least they may make your body feel that way. When you ingest your weed, half of the THC gets converted into 11-hydroxy-THC. This version of THC serves as a more powerful version and has an easier time getting to the brain.
