    Weird that it says 30 to 60 minutes, 2 hours is the correct time. It’s quicker for some people so maybe that’s where it comes from but to be clear 2 hours is correct. Personally, it takes about an hour and a half, but most people I know are at 2 hours

      I’ve found for me that it varies depending on what I ate. Did I take the edibles on an empty stomach then eat something with fat in it? I’ll be feeling it in 30 minutes.
      Did I take them after eating a carb rich meal? Well I just wasted those edibles. I have no clue when, or if, they’ll kick in.
      In general however, it’s about an hour for me.

        A friend introduced me to these and I’m so confused. Why do the drinks hit so quick but gummies take so long?

          Hey, I know this is a bit old, but to clarify the reason is bioavailability. Your body absorbs liquids lot quicker than solids or semi-liquids. Also, the way these drinks keep the thc in solution tends to be a fatty substance like MCT which is both more bioavailable and spreads out the thc, allowing it to be absorbed easier and quicker. This is especially needed in the legal side where equal dosage must be kept over the entire liquid

            Completely makes sense when you put it that way. I had a shower thought earlier today about this lol maybe our universes aligned for a second.
