Most people who smoke cannabis and its cannabinoids get red eyes as a side effect, because of this so many people assume that most cannabinoid products such as edibles can cause red eyes as a side effect when they’re consumed. However, do we know for sure that edibles can cause red eyes when consumed?

In today’s blog, we will talk about edibles, and help answer all of your questions. With the help of our blog, you can find out how edibles work, and if they can cause red eyes as a side effect or not. You can also find out different tips to follow when buying edibles.

What Are Edibles?

Some of the most common types of cannabinoid products are edibles. Edibles refer to as food products that are infused with or contain different types of cannabinoids, such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THC-O, CBD, and HHC. Edibles are super easy to consume and they come in different types of flavors that you can find available in retail and online stores.

When you consume edibles, the effects usually kick in after about 45 minutes to an hour. The reason they take this much time is that the edible gets digested in your stomach and then the cannabinoid present in the edible enters your bloodstream and then activates its effects after traveling to your brain. The effects then last for around 6-8 hours depending on the number of edibles you consume.

There are different types of food products that come under edibles. They include:

• Lollipops
• Gummies
• Brownies
• Lozenges
• Cookies
• Chocolates
• Candies
• Other baked goods

There are 2 types of edibles that you can find in the market, which are chewable edibles, and edibles that are sublingually absorbed. Chewable edibles include food products such as gummies, brownies, chocolates, and other baked goods. These edibles have to be digested in your stomach first before their effects kick in.

Edibles that are sublingually absorbed, on the other hand, are food products such as lollipops, lozenges, and gums. These edibles are consumed through the process of sublingual absorption, which allows the mucous membranes in your tongue to absorb the juices and flavors of the edibles and allows the cannabinoid present in them to enter your bloodstream immediately without having to go through the process of digestion. Edibles that are sublingually absorbed take a shorter amount of time for the effects to kick in than chewable edibles.

Do Edibles Give You Red Eyes?

The short answer is no. The most common side effect of consuming edibles is an overly relaxed feeling that can sometimes be accompanied by drowsiness. Red eyes are not usually associated with edibles since this side effect comes from the smoke inhalation from smoking marijuana, which does not happen with edibles.

However, red eyes may still occur depending on the strain and dose of cannabis used in the edible product. It’s important to understand your body’s reactions when trying new edibles and note how it makes you feel.

How To Store Your Edibles?

It’s important that you store your edibles properly because their shelf life depends on it. If you manage to store your edibles in the right place with the right temperatures, then their shelf life can be preserved, but if you don’t store them properly, then their shelf life can decrease. When it comes to storing your edibles, you have to make sure that you store them in dark, cool, and dry places, such as cabinets, drawers, cupboards, etc.

These places can help protect your edibles from getting exposed to heat and light which can cause them to expire quickly. It’s also best to store them inside air-tight containers. They can help prevent germs and bacteria from sneaking in and spoiling the edible.

Frequently Asked Questions 

• How Long Do Delta 8 Edibles Stay In Your System?

Delta 8 edibles will usually stay in your system for up to three days after ingestion. This depends on several factors including body composition and metabolism rate. It is important to note that Delta 8 edibles stay in your system significantly longer than smoking or vaping cannabis because they are metabolized differently. The amount of time that Delta 8 edibles stay in your system also depends on the number of edibles that you consume and how often you consume them.

• What Is The Shelf Life Of Edibles?

The shelf life of THC-o edibles typically ranges from 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of edible and storage conditions. Most unopened edibles are safe to consume until the expiration date printed on the label has passed. However, edibles that have been opened should be consumed within the first 6 months because they start to degrade after that.  

• Can You Store Edibles In The Fridge?

Yes, you can store THC-o edibles in the fridge if necessary but this may affect their shelf life and taste. Refrigeration helps slow down the spoilage of ingredients like oils, fats, and sugars found in many types of edible products such as baked goods and candies. If stored properly in a refrigerator at 40°F or below, most THC-o edibles should remain safe for consumption up to six months beyond the expiration date printed on the label. 

• What Is The Cost Of THC-O Edibles?

The cost of THC-o edibles varies widely depending on product type and strength. Generally speaking, a single serving of an edible containing 10mg of THC should cost between $7-$15 USD depending on where you purchase it from. Prices may be higher or lower based on product quality, brand reputation, and other factors such as local taxes or discounts offered by retailers.

Final Words – Things To Keep In Mind When Consuming Edibles

When buying edibles, it’s important to pay attention to dosage information and look for lab testing results so you know exactly what is in your edible product. Additionally, it’s important to remember that edibles take longer than other forms of marijuana consumption to take effect and some users may accidentally overconsume if they don’t wait long enough before taking more.

Lastly, always start with a low dose when trying new products and increase slowly until you find the desired effects for your body type and tolerance level. With all these tips in mind, you should have no problem finding an enjoyable edible experience without any unexpected side effects like red eyes!
