Timeline of a cannabis high

The timeline of a cannabis high can vary depending on several factors, including the method of consumption, the strain of cannabis, and individual tolerance levels. However, here's a general timeline for the effects of cannabis:

**Immediate Effects (Minutes 0-10):**

- After inhaling cannabis (smoking or vaping), you may begin to feel the effects within minutes.

- With edibles, it can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel the initial effects because the cannabinoids must be metabolized in the digestive system.

**Initial Euphoria (Minutes 10-30):**

- You may experience a sense of euphoria and heightened mood.

- Creativity and sociability might increase.

- Some people may feel more relaxed or sedated.

**Peak Effects (Minutes 30-60):**

- The high typically reaches its peak within the first hour after inhalation or 2-3 hours after consuming edibles.

- Sensory perception may be enhanced, and time might seem to slow down.

- Appetite may increase ("the munchies").

- Some individuals may experience increased laughter and giggles.

**Plateau (Minutes 60-120):**

- The high stabilizes, and you maintain the peak effects.

- Depending on the strain, you may feel more focused and alert or more relaxed and sedated.

**Decline (Hours 2-4+):**

- The intensity of the high gradually decreases.

- Depending on the dose and method of consumption, effects can last for several hours.

- Some residual effects, such as mild relaxation or altered perception, may persist.

**Afterglow and Residual Effects (Hours 4+):**

- After the high has worn off, you might feel an afterglow or residual effects.

- Some individuals report increased creativity or improved mood even after the main effects have faded.

It's important to note that individual experiences can vary significantly. Factors such as the potency of the cannabis, your tolerance, and your mental state at the time of consumption can all influence the duration and intensity of the high. Additionally, some strains may produce different effects, with some being more energizing and others more sedating.

Always consume cannabis responsibly and be aware of the laws and regulations in your area. If you're new to cannabis or have concerns about its effects, start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed while monitoring your response.
