Edible the: indica or sativa?

in #budtender7 years ago

I wanted to make an educational post to address a question that I, as a budtender, am asked way to often. Is this edible made with sativa or indica? The answer is quite simple.

It doesn't matter.

Regardless of what one of weed goes into your edible treat, when digested by the stomach thc is transformed, by the liver, into a chemical called 11-hydroxy thc, which will always make you lazy/lethargic. The only way to get around this reaction is to use edibles such as hard candy or tincture, which can remain in the mouth and enter the bloodstream through the sub-lingual vein(the giant vein under your tongue). So in short when purchasing edible marijuana, don't worry about the strain, worry about the method of ingestion, as this will determine the high.
