What Are Nano THC Products?
Nano-infused THC products are
fast-acting edibles that use a
technology known as nano emulsification to create smaller, more bioavailable THC molecules. Smaller particles mean you'll
feel the effects within 15 to 20 minutes instead of the usual 60-plus minutes it takes traditional edibles to kick in.
THC is naturally fat-soluble, making it challenging to incorporate into drinks and other products with a water base. But thanks to its tiny molecular structure, nano THC becomes much more water-soluble. This is part of why it is easily absorbed by the body, but it also makes nano THC better for incorporating into drops, drinks, and drink powders.
How Do Fast-Acting Edibles Work?
Typically, THC is too large to be quickly or readily absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Instead, it must pass through the digestive system, where it's eventually broken down and metabolized by the liver before entering the bloodstream. This process is known as first-pass metabolism and is why traditional edibles take longer to produce effects, and the effects can be quite variable depending on a person's metabolism.
Fast-acting edibles, also known as nano THC edibles, contain much smaller active ingredient particles, allowing them to take effect quickly.
This smaller size means they can penetrate the lining of your mouth and stomach to enter the bloodstream almost as soon as they come into contact with it. Instead of 60 minutes, it's 15 minutes before the effects start, all because the nanoemulsion isn't hung up on your metabolism, breaking apart the molecules for further processing.
Effects of Nano THC Edibles
Just like regular THC edibles, nano THC edibles offer a range of pleasant effects, including euphoria, heightened sensory awareness, and altered perception.
But there are two key differences to consider before you dive in:
- Higher Bioavailability: Nanoemulsified THC products have a higher bioavailability because the smaller particles are absorbed directly through the lining of your mouth and stomach, bypassing much of the body's metabolism process. You may need a smaller serving size than you usually would to achieve the same effects.
- Faster Onset, Shorter Duration: With fast-acting edibles, you'll likely feel the effects within 15 minutes, compared to the hour or more it can take with traditional edibles. But because the effects come on faster, they also tend to fade sooner, typically lasting around four hours, though this can vary from person to person.
What Kind of Nano THC Products Are There?
