Unlike inhalation, where the effects are felt almost immediately, ingesting cannabis is a slower but more potent process. This is due to the way the body metabolises THC, transforming it into a more active form that has a prolonged impact on the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, <\/span><b>ingested cannabis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> stands out for its <\/span><b>intense psychoactive properties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and its therapeutic potential. Many people use it to relieve chronic pain, reduce anxiety or improve sleep quality. However, because of its delayed absorption, it is essential to understand how to dose it correctly to avoid unwanted effects. That way, you can make the most of its benefits without unnecessary risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this article, we will explore in detail <\/span><b>how ingested cannabis acts in the body<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, what effects it produces and what its main advantages are over other forms of consumption.

Unlike inhalation, where the effects are felt almost immediately, <\/span><b>ingested cannabis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has to go through the digestive process before being absorbed into the bloodstream. This creates a completely different experience, as the transformation of <\/span><b>THC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the body enhances its <\/span><b>psychoactive properties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, making the effects <\/span><b>more intense and longer-lasting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El_proceso_de_metabolizacion_del_THC\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The THC metabolisation process<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When <\/span><b>cannabis is ingested<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, its main active ingredient, <\/span><b>delta-9-THC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, has to pass through the <\/span><b>liver<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> before reaching the brain.
