Phytocannabinoids are released into our endocannabinoid system as soon as the food particles are broken down in our digestive system. This interacts with the endocannabinoid system to promote internal balance. Depending on your weight, metabolism, and what you ate during the day, gummies can kick in in as little as half an hour, or it can take two hours for you to feel the effects. Chew up the gummy thoroughly before swallowing it to speed up the process.
