How Long a Weed High Lasts?

Many new cannabis users wonder how long they will be high after consuming weed. Some regular users also wonder how to shorten or extend the weed high they experience. To answer these questions, first, you should know how weed kicks in your body, how it metabolizes, and finally, how the effects fade away. 

On average, the high lasts between 2-10 hours. However, this number can increase or decrease considering some factors. It is also worth noting that one may experience some mild effects even a day after consuming.

The type and strength the high one experiences after consuming cannabis depends on several factors, such as type of weed, type of consumption, the THC amount, body metabolism, past weed consuming experiences, the food or rest one has gotten, etc. Almost everyone experiences weed effects differently. 

What Affects the Duration of the high?

1. Weed : 

Of course, the primary factor causing different effects is consuming different strains of cannabis. Fresh weed can cause a stronger and more pleasant high. Good weed usually has more trichomes and includes more THC; As a result, THC reaches your blood sooner and lasts longer. 

2. Type of Consuming:

One of the most specific factors affecting the duration of a high is the consumption method. Nowadays, various cannabis products can provide you with desirable effects. For instance, edibles provide longer-lasting results than flowers. However, if you wish to get instant results, flowers are a better option. So based on the cannabis products you choose, the duration of the high can vary.

3. Body Metabolism:

Everybody metabolizes weed differently. When one smokes weed, it directly enters the blood circulation through the lungs, and when one digests weed, the THC is absorbed by the liver. So, depending on metabolism and blood circulation, the duration of high feeling varies.

4. Tolerance:

New cannabis users usually experience longer effects compared to regular users. According to studies duration of a weed, high can depend on past experience, especially in the most recent month. If one hasn’t consumed weed in the past month, he or she is likely to experience longer and more intense effects. 

5. Eating and Resting:

Whether you have eaten any food before consuming cannabis or the amount of rest you had before consuming it can change the duration of your high. According to regular users’ experiences, the high feeling of a weed can last longer if it is consumed after activity. Moreover, eating may decrease the duration of a weed high.

Take a Nap:
