How long does it take for THC powder to work?

Buzz Packs are portable cannabis powder packets that mix a microdose of THC and CBD into any beverage. Each packet contains 10 mg of total cannabinoids (5 mg Delta 9 THC, 5 mg cannabidiol) in a water-soluble formula that dissolves completely in beverages.

For most users, the effects timeline looks like this:

10–20 minutes: First effects begin as the THC and CBD enter your bloodstream through efficient water-soluble absorption.
30–45 minutes: Effects reach their full potential; the balanced ratio of cannabinoids creates a clear-headed experience.
4–6 hours: Steady effects continue, then gently taper off without a harsh comedown.

To get the most from your Buzz Packs, mix one packet into at least 4 ounces of any drink and stir thoroughly. If you’ve never tried our flavorless stick packs, start with half a packet to assess your response. The powder works equally well in hot or cold beverages, and the effects remain consistent regardless of the drink you choose.

How fast is THC absorbed?

The absorption speed of THC is influenced by how you consume it. Different methods create distinct pathways to your bloodstream, from direct lung absorption to processing through your digestive system.

Our water-soluble formula in Buzz Packs has enhanced how efficiently your body can process THC. Here’s how different THC consumption methods affect its absorption:

Smoking delivers THC directly from the lungs to the bloodstream within seconds. Effects emerge in 1–3 minutes but typically subside after 2–3 hours. This rapid delivery trades precision dosing for speed.
Tinctures absorb THC through oral tissues which enters your bloodstream in about 15–30 minutes. This direct route bypasses some digestion and offers moderate onset speed with around 4 hours of effects.
Cannabis oils depend on fat absorption during digestion. Onset ranges from 30–60 minutes based on metabolism and recent meals, with effects typically lasting 4–8 hours.
Vaporizing mirrors smoking's absorption path but with fewer combustion byproducts. Effects begin within minutes and taper off in an hour.
Cannabis edibles move through complete digestion and liver processing, which creates a reliable pathway to longer-lasting effects. Though the onset takes 30–120 minutes, the 6–8 hour duration makes edibles a predictable choice for extended relief with sustained benefits.
Water-soluble cannabis drinks are a breakthrough in absorption technology. They move efficiently through your digestive system. Buzz Packs take effect in 10–20 minutes and maintain consistent effects for 4–6 hours, combining quick onset with reliable duration.

The water-soluble THC and CBD molecules in our cannabis beverages travel quickly through your digestive system and into your bloodstream, bypassing the lengthy digestion process of traditional edibles. Your liver converts the THC into 11-hydroxy-THC faster because of the microdosed formula, which optimizes initial effects and cognitive function.

The cannabinoids bind to your body's CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to create balanced physiological effects. This process, combined with higher bioavailability than oil-based products, explains why you feel effects in just 10 minutes instead of waiting hours.

Skip the wait and uncertainty. Our Buzz Packs and Buzz Drops™ deliver precise THC microdoses that start working in minutes to put you in control of your experience.

What influences the onset of effects?

Several factors influence how quickly you'll feel the effects of Buzz Packs. The 10–20 minute onset time remains consistent for most users, but individual differences can shift this window slightly.

The factors include:

Body composition and metabolism: Faster metabolisms often mean quicker onset.
Recent meals impact absorption speed: Taking Buzz Packs on an empty stomach typically leads to faster effects than with food.
Proper mixing technique matters: Stirring thoroughly into at least 4 ounces of liquid provides optimal dissolution and absorption.
Hydration levels: Staying well-hydrated helps your body process the water-soluble formula more efficiently.
Individual tolerance to THC: This factor influences the onset time and intensity of effects.

How much THC is safe to take in a day?

For most adults, a daily THC intake of 20 mg spread across multiple doses is safe. If you go lower than that, with 5–10 mg per individual dose, you’ll achieve relief without unwanted intensity. Buzz Packs fit this range with their precise 5 mg THC dose per packet, letting you easily track and control your intake.

Everyone responds differently to THC. Start low and discover what works for your body. Most people find that 5–10 mg of THC in beverages and other microdosed cannabis products creates an enjoyable experience they can control and adjust without risking uncomfortable effects.

If you take multiple doses throughout the day, keep your total under 20 mg of THC in 24 hours until you're familiar with your tolerance. A concentrated dose isn't the answer and you’ll achieve better results with smaller amounts that maintain their clarity and focus.

That’s what microdosing is all about—balanced relief dispersed throughout the day. Take a look at our in-depth guide to the benefits of microdosing liquid cannabis.

Buzz Packs FAQ

Does THC work immediately?

The initial effects of THC depend on the consumption method.

Smoking and vaping hit within 1–3 minutes as THC enters your bloodstream through your lungs.
Water-soluble drinks take 10–20 minutes as they absorb through your digestive system.
Traditional edibles need 30–120 minutes since they must process through your liver first.

Your metabolism, body weight, and tolerance also influence onset time. THC from smoking peaks quickly but fades faster, while edibles and drinks create a more gradual buildup to their full effects. To avoid taking too much, always wait for the full effects to develop before taking more. It's better to start low and add more later than to rush into an uncomfortable experience.

What happens if you take 500 mg of THC?

A concentrated dose of 500 mg THC far exceeds recommended limits. This amount can cause intense adverse physiological effects including severe anxiety, paranoia, elevated heart rate, and extreme disorientation. This high dose may also trigger nausea, dizziness, and temporary cognitive impairment that can last 12–24 hours or longer.

While no fatal THC overdoses have been recorded, such large amounts can lead to a highly uncomfortable experience requiring medical attention. Most people achieve optimal effects with just 5–15 mg THC. There's no benefit to extreme doses that risk overwhelming your system.

Is 10 mg edible better than a joint?

A 10 mg edible has more advantages than smoking joints. Edibles deliver precise THC doses and longer-lasting effects (4–8 hours) while eliminating the health risks of smoke inhalation. Your liver processes edible THC into a more potent compound, creating consistent full-body effects that you can reliably predict and control.

Joints not only harm your respiratory system but provide unpredictable doses that fade quickly (2–3 hours), which makes it harder to manage your experience. For a measured, enjoyable experience that prioritizes health and reliable effects, edibles and THC drinks are the clear superior choice.

What is considered high THC?

High THC content varies by product type and consumption method. For edibles and drinks, doses over 20 mg per serving are considered high, while 5–10 mg creates balanced physiological effects for most people. In cannabis flower, anything above 20% THC concentration qualifies as high-potency.

Higher THC doesn't guarantee a better experience. Many people report more enjoyable effects from moderate doses. Your tolerance influences what feels "high," but consistently using lower doses helps maintain sensitivity to THC's effects while avoiding unwanted intensity.

Do edibles make eyes red?

Edibles can cause red eyes through the same effects as other THC consumption methods. THC dilates blood vessels throughout your body, including those in your eyes, which creates that distinctive redness. The concentrated dose from edibles often leads to more pronounced and longer-lasting redness than smoking.

While harmless, this effect might last several hours as your body processes the THC. Eye drops can help reduce the redness, but remember that it's a natural response to THC's blood vessel-expanding properties.

Are edibles safer than vaping?

Edibles are a much safer way to consume THC than vaping. Vaping still exposes your lungs to potentially harmful compounds and unregulated additives. While vaping might seem less harmful than smoking, it carries its own health risks and unpredictable dosing. Edibles eliminate these respiratory concerns while providing precise, controlled doses through regulated manufacturing processes.

The initial effects from properly dosed edibles (5–10 mg) create a reliable, enjoyable experience without the risks of inhaling foreign substances. Though edibles take longer to kick in, their extended duration and safer consumption method make them a smarter choice for those concerned about their long-term health.

What does an edible high feel like?

Low-dose edibles create a gentle, controlled experience rather than an overwhelming "high." The initial effects emerge as your liver processes the THC, bringing a subtle wave of relaxation and mild mood enhancement without impairment. Unlike the intense peaks from smoking, these physiological effects develop smoothly and offer 4–8 hours of clear-headed comfort.

Many people find they can maintain productivity and focus, especially with microdosed edibles, since the balanced experience integrates naturally with daily activities. While onset takes 30–120 minutes, proper low dosing provides an enjoyable experience that enhances rather than disrupts your day.

Is THC naturally in your brain?

While THC itself isn't naturally present, your brain produces similar compounds called endocannabinoids that create comparable physiological effects. These natural molecules activate the same receptors as THC, influencing mood, memory, and body functions. THC mimics these natural compounds but with more intense effects. Your brain's endocannabinoid system explains why external THC can produce such significant responses—it works through existing neural pathways. This natural system also helps regulate stress, appetite, and sleep patterns.
