I’ve observed something with caffeine pills that is different from drinking tea or tea… With tea as well as tea, the absorption of the caffeine in your bloodstream is fairly quick because it’s a liquid.
Caffeine pills take some time to dissolve in the stomach before they even start their absorption process, so if you need immediate caffeine, you might want to reach for a cup of tea instead of the caffeine pill.
And since the caffeine pills take longer to absorb, they also take longer to wear off in your system. That could mean that taking a caffeine pill around midnight could lead to issues trying to get to sleep 4 or 5 hours later when you’re done with your late night work. Cannabis edibles toil in a similar sort of way with myself and others at least. They take so long to absorb in my body that often I do not get the same medical effects that I get from cannabis inhalation products; Inhalation products cover everything from smoking cannabis flower buds to taking vapor hits off cannabis vaporizer cartridges or cannabis oil pens. Sometimes a cannabis oil pan has a concentrate thrown in appreciate a dab, or it’s simply an oil cartridge. With cannabis inhalation products the effects are almost immediate, as well as I can tell immediately if I am going to need more or if I have taken the right amount. It’s a lot harder to gauge this with cannabis edibles since they take so long to absorb. Sometimes you can take too much really easily, or you can inadvertently not take enough as well as not get the same relief that you legitimately need.
