Ep. 102 (Ep. 084 Replay) CBD vs THC What Every Consumer Should Understand w/Cannabis Educators & Medical Experts, Fri, Oct 9, 2026
So as we begin wrapping up today's conversation, I wanna leave you with a few quick takeaways and answer some of the questions I get asked most often about CBD, THC, and cannabinoid products.
Why do cannabis products affect people differently? Because cannabinoid experiences are highly individualized.
Factors like body chemistry, dosage, metabolism, product formulation, tolerance, and delivery method, consumption method.
If you inhale as opposed to ingest, the inhalation goes through the lungs directly to the bloodstream.
When you consume through digestion, something you eat, an edible, it's gotta go through your digestive system, and it can take longer for the onset.
All of the different factors influence how a product feels from one person to another.
It hits people differently depending on body chemistry, dosage, metabolism, the product formulation, your tolerance level, and how you take it.
So this leads us right into why do edibles feel different than smoking or vaping? Well, edibles move through the digestive system first, which means they often take longer to kick in and can sometimes feel stronger or last longer than an inhaled product.
That's why the experts recommend starting with low doses and waiting before consuming more.
If you keep piling it on higher and deeper, oh, boy, when it hits, you're not gonna be able to back out of it, and the onset does take a little bit longer.
Um, what should consumers look for when shopping for cannabinoid products? Well, consumers, you, me, all of us should look for third-party lab testing, transparent ingredients on the labels, cannabinoid potency information.
I never buy flower unless it tells me exactly the percentage of THC in the flower or CBD in the flower and is backed by a third-party lab test.
And you wanna look for reputable brands operating with regul- within regulated systems whenever possible.
