Blast Off Faster With These Quick-Hitting Cannabis Edibles in Colorado

Karen GetchellPublished on July 31, 2018 · Last updated July 28, 2020

There are many reasons to love cannabis-infused edibles—compared to smoked cannabis, they’re stronger, last longer, and keep your lungs smoke-free. But one problem unique to cannabis edibles is their delayed onset. Most people don’t feel any effects until an hour or more after consumption.

Luckily, there’s a way to get the long-lasting effects of edibles without the delayed onset. If edibles stay in your mouth for a few minutes, THC can be absorbed through your cheeks, gums, and under your tongue. This makes onset as fast as one minute!

Below, you’ll find five Colorado edibles that can stay in your mouth long enough to give you a fast onset. But first, keep these tips in mind for the most effective experience:

  • The candy should stay in your mouth for at least three minutes before swallowing for maximum absorption.
  • Tinctures, lozenges, mints, troches, dissolving tablets, and gummies are all generally easy-to-hold forms.
  • Don’t smoke for one hour before eating the edible.
  • Avoid drinking for one hour after eating the edible.
  • Do not smoke, drink, or eat while eating the edible.

The best way to absorb cannabis through your mouth is by sucking on lozenges, and no one makes them better than Canyon Cultivation. Suckit Sweets to Suck are vegan, gluten-free, and made from natural and organic ingredients. They’re available in nine flavors and three sizes: 10 lozenges at 10mg THC each (adult-use), 10 lozenges at 20mg THC each (medical), and 40 lozenges at 2.5mg each (adult-use). The adult-use varieties retail for around $20 to $25.

Mountain High Suckers has been producing handmade cannabis-infused suckers and lozenges since 2009. With natural ingredients and flavors like Lime in the Coconut (with real coconut flakes) and Josh’s Blue Dream Blueberry (featuring the Blue Dream strain), it’s no wonder they’re going strong! Mountain High’s adult-use suckers have 10mg THC and 3mg CBD each. Their medical suckers have 36mg THC. Mountain High Suckers cost around $6 to $9.
