Let’s Talk: THC Drinks vs. Edibles

What to Expect, How Long It Lasts, and Where to Find Them

The world of cannabis edibles is evolving fast — and whether you’re new to infused treats or just curious about the rise of THC drinks, understanding how these products affect your body is key. In this guide, we’ll break down the difference between THC drinks vs. edibles, how long they take to kick in, how long they last in your system, and what to know before searching for edibles nearby.

What’s the Difference: THC Drinks vs. Edibles?

THC drinks are cannabis-infused beverages — like seltzers, teas, or sodas — typically made using nanoemulsified THC for faster onset. Edibles, on the other hand, refer to solid, ingestible products like gummies, chocolate bars, and baked goods.

 THC DrinksTraditional Edibles
Onset Time~15–30 minutes~30–90 minutes
Duration2–4 hours4–8 hours or longer
AbsorptionThrough stomach lining and liverMostly through digestion/liver
EffectsOften milder, more controllableMore gradual, sometimes more intense

Many consumers choose THC drinks for their faster onset and social feel, while others prefer the longer-lasting body effects that traditional edibles provide.

How Long Do Edibles Take to Peak?

On average, edibles peak 1 to 3 hours after ingestion. This depends on your metabolism, what you’ve eaten that day, and the edible’s formulation (distillate, rosin, nano-THC, etc.).

If you’re using Green Truck’s hash rosin gummies, expect a slower, richer onset compared to distillate options — with full peak effects coming in around the 90-minute mark. Always start low and give it time before dosing again.

How Long Do Edibles Stay in Your System?

This answer depends on your tolerance, body fat, frequency of use, and dosage — but here are general guidelines:

  • Effects duration: 4–8 hours (longer for high-dose or medical edibles like our F-500s or Faded Five lines)
  • THC detectability in urine:
    • Occasional users: 1–3 days
    • Regular users: Up to 10–30 days
  • In blood: ~1–2 days
  • In saliva: ~24 hours
  • In hair: Up to 90 days

Pro tip: even after the effects wear off, THC metabolites stick around, especially with high-dose products. If you’re a medical patient using daily, expect a longer detection window.
