There are many different types of hemp products that you can use or try out such as hemp extract tinctures, edibles, and distillates. Although hemp-extract products are quite popular in the market today, there are some people who are still hesitant in trying out those products. 

In today’s blog, we’re going to discuss about one of the hemp products, called hemp-extract edibles. With the help of this guide, you will find out what hemp-extract edibles are, how they’re made, what their effects feel like and how long they last, how much you can consume, as well as find out how you can purchase the best hemp-extract edibles. So without further ado, let’s get started!

What Are They & How Are They Made?

Hemp-extract edibles are produced from hemp seed oil, extracted by cold-pressing hemp seeds which come from the hemp plant. These edibles can’t make you feel high because when hemp seed oil is extracted from hemp seeds, it doesn’t contain any cannabinoids such as THC, HHC, Delta 8, etc. Due to this hemp-extract edibles aren’t able to create psychoactive or intoxicating effects unless THC is added to the product by the manufacturers. 

Although hemp-extract edibles might not contain any cannabinoids that make you feel high, they do contain many vitamins such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. They also contain essential fatty acids and minerals straight from the hemp plant.  

When Do Their Effects Kick In & How Long Do They Last For?

Out of all of the hemp products, hemp-extract edibles take the longest time for their effects to kick in after consumption. When you consume a hemp-extract edible, you can’t expect to experience its effects immediately like you do when vape hemp distillates, this is because the edible needs to be digested first. Once it digests in your stomach, it will enter your bloodstream and travel into your brain, and then you will finally experience the effects of the edible. 

The amount of time it takes for the effects to kick in after consumption can be anywhere from 30-45 minutes, to even an hour, and the effects can last for 2-4 hours depending on how much you consume. However, there are some hemp-extract edibles such as lollipops, and gums that don’t take too much time for the effects to kick in unlike other hemp-extract edibles such as gummies, or brownies.

This happens because lollipops and gums can dissolve on your tongue when kept in your mouth without needing to be digested in your stomach which takes too much time. This way you can experience the effects of the edible quickly. This process is also referred to as sublingual absorption. 

Hemp-extract edibles can also kick in faster if you’re someone who has a fast metabolism, which means that when you consume a hemp-extract edible, you digest it much faster than someone who has a slow metabolism, allowing you to experience the effects quicker. 

The onset time of hemp-extract edibles can also change, depending on other factors in your body. They include:

• Diet
• Weight
• Tolerance levels
