Onset

The time between consuming cannabis and feeling its effects. Onset varies significantly by consumption method: smoking and vaping produce onset in 2–10 minutes; sublingual tinctures in 15–45 minutes; edibles in 30 minutes to 2 hours. The delayed onset of edibles is the most common cause of overconsumption — people assume the edible isn't working and take more before the first dose has fully kicked in.
