Are you tired of waiting over an hour for your traditional edibles to take effect? Imagine a cannabis experience where you don’t have to wait—where the effects kick in as quickly as 15 minutes. That’s where nano edibles come in. 

These innovative gummies use nano-emulsification technology to deliver cannabinoids into your bloodstream rapidly, bypassing the slow digestion process. This means faster onset times and more predictable results, making them a game-changer for those seeking a reliable, timely cannabis experience. 

No more frustration from delayed effects or unpredictable highs because nano gummies offer precise dosing, quicker absorption, and consistent effects. So, how long do nano edibles last? Keep reading to find out what the duration of effect is like, how long they take to kick in, and more! 

Key Takeaways

  • Nano edibles offer faster onset times and more consistent effects.

  • Nano-emulsification allows for better absorption and higher bioavailability.

  • Traditional edibles rely on slow digestion, while nano gummies skip that process.

  • Mellow Fellow’s upcoming nano edibles will adhere to high-quality standards, including third-party lab testing and ingredient transparency.

  • Nano edibles offer a more controlled experience with quicker effects and shorter durations.

What Are Nano-Infused Gummies?

Nano-infused gummies are a revolutionary way to experience cannabis, offering a more efficient and rapid method of cannabinoid absorption compared to traditional edibles. 

These gummies are created using advanced nano-emulsification technology, which breaks down THC molecules into extremely small, nano-sized particles. This technique significantly improves how the body processes and absorbs cannabinoids, making nano gummies a faster, more consistent option for users.

While regular edibles rely on the digestive system to metabolize cannabinoids, nano gummies bypass much of this slow digestive process, providing quicker onset times and more reliable effects.

How Nano-Emulsion Works

Here’s how nano-emulsion works to deliver the effects of THC much faster than with conventional edibles: 

Tiny THC particles

The process of nano-emulsification reduces THC molecules to sizes that are much smaller than those found in traditional edibles. These tiny particles are easier for the body to absorb and process, which speeds up the effects.

Water Solubility

Unlike traditional THC, which dissolves in fat, nano-THC is designed to dissolve in water. This compatibility with the body’s water-based fluids allows for much faster absorption. Because of this, nano-infused gummies are absorbed more efficiently, leading to quicker onset times.

Better Bioavailability

The most significant advantage of nano edibles is their enhanced bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to the percentage of the active ingredient that reaches the bloodstream. 

Nano-infused gummies have a much higher bioavailability than traditional edibles, meaning that a greater amount of THC enters the bloodstream. This results in stronger, more immediate effects with smaller doses, making nano edibles more efficient and potent compared to their traditional counterparts.

According to current research, regular edibles made with cannabis have a bioavailability of no more than 12%, and up to 20% when those edibles are made with specific concentrates

At best, this means that your body only absorbs a fifth of any edible you eat. However, nano technology in edibles is shown to greatly increase bioavailability and absorption, in some cases nearly five times higher. 

Current estimates are that nano THC features a bioavailability and absorption rate of up to 50%, therefore making it much more efficient and cost-effective than normal THC. 

In short, nano-infused gummies offer a more controlled and efficient cannabis experience, allowing for faster onset and stronger effects with a smaller dose.

Nano vs. Traditional Edibles: What Sets Them Apart?

Nano-infused gummies differ from traditional edibles in how they work and how quickly they take effect. Traditional edibles rely on digestion, with THC being metabolized into 11-hydroxy-THC by the liver. 

This process can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours, often causing delays and unpredictability in the effects.

In contrast, nano edibles use a process called emulsification, which makes THC water-compatible. This enables quicker absorption through the stomach lining and into the bloodstream, resulting in faster effects and a shorter, more controlled high.

Traditional edibles often catch users off guard with their delayed onset, sometimes leading to overconsumption before the effects fully kick in. Nano edibles address this issue by providing effects that are felt more quickly and evenly distributed.

Comparison Chart

Aspect Traditional Edibles Nano Edibles
Onset Time 45 to 120 minutes 15 to 30 minutes
Peak Effects 2 to 3 hours 1 to 1.5 hours
Total Duration 6 to 12 hours 2 to 4 hours


All this aside, if you’re looking for something highly potent that only requires a couple of milligrams to feel significant effects, try THCp, specifically these THCp Bursts. They each have 2.5mg of THCp, but seeing as it’s potentially up to 33 times stronger than regular THC, a little goes a long way. 

How Fast Do Nano Gummies Work?

Nano gummies start working faster than traditional edibles because of their improved bioavailability. Instead of waiting up to two hours for digestion, the nano-emulsified THC enters your bloodstream within 15 to 30 minutes. 

This quick onset makes them a great choice for people who want faster effects without the unpredictability often seen with regular edibles.

The speed at which nano gummies take effect depends on how the body absorbs them. Traditional edibles need to pass through the liver, where THC is converted into the more potent 11-hydroxy-THC—resulting in a delayed and often stronger effect. 

Nano gummies skip much of this process thanks to water-soluble particles that absorb directly through the stomach lining and into the bloodstream more rapidly.

Factors Influencing Onset Time

Although nano edibles hit much faster than regular edibles, there are still some factors that may slightly quicken or delay the onset:

  1. Individual Metabolism: People with faster metabolisms tend to feel the effects sooner, while slower metabolisms might experience a slight delay.

  2. Food Consumption: Taking nano gummies on an empty stomach leads to quicker absorption; eating them with a meal can slow things down.

  3. Dosage Amount:  Larger doses may lead to quicker effects, though nano gummies are designed to provide consistent results regardless of strength.

  4. Product Quality: High-quality nano gummies are made with consistent particle sizes and stable emulsification, which supports reliable absorption and potency.

If you’re looking for something else that absorbs quickly and hits fast, then our disposable vapes are perfect, as vaped cannabis takes mere minutes to kick in. 

Duration of Nano Edible Effects

Nano edibles are known for offering a shorter, more controlled high compared to traditional edibles. Their effects kick in quickly, typically within 15 to 30 minutes, and last about two to four hours. 

This is much shorter than the 6 to 12 hours you might expect from standard edibles, making nano-infused gummies a better fit for those who prefer a cannabis experience that doesn’t stretch through the day or night.

Timeline Breakdown

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect in terms of nano edible onset and dosage: 

  • Initial Effects: The effects typically begin within 15 to 30 minutes as the nano-emulsified THC is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, skipping the slower digestive process. Users often notice a light buzz or a sense of relaxation during this phase.

  • Peak Experience: The peak comes on between 60 and 90 minutes, delivering the strongest psychoactive and therapeutic effects. Unlike traditional edibles, which can take up to three hours or more to fully hit, nano gummies offer a quicker and more balanced high.

  • Gradual Decline: After reaching the peak, the effects gently taper off over the next one to two hours. This steady decline avoids the lingering grogginess that many people associate with traditional edibles.

  • Total Duration: Most people experience effects lasting between two to four hours, making nano edibles a more predictable and manageable option for cannabis use.

Dosage Guidelines for Nano Gummies

Nano gummies are known for their quick effects and higher absorption rates, which makes accurate dosing even more significant. 

A little bit goes a long way, and because your body absorbs more nano THC than regular THC, the effects are generally more pronounced based on the same quantity. 

For instance, if you have two edibles, one nano and one regular, both with 50mg of THC, your body will absorb much more of the nano edible than the regular one, thus giving you more bang for your buck, as it results in a stronger high for the same quantity of THC. For beginners, this means starting slow because taking too much is easy. 

How much you should take depends on your experience level, body weight, and tolerance. Starting with a small amount and adjusting based on how you feel can help avoid taking too much.

Beginner Recommendations

For those trying nano edibles for the first time, starting with a low dose is a smart way to understand your tolerance. 

Here are some nano edible beginner dosing guidelines:

  • 2.5mg THC: A light dose that offers relaxation without being overwhelming, making it ideal for first-timers.

  • 5mg THC: A step up for beginners seeking noticeable effects while still keeping things manageable.

While such low doses of THC may not seem like much, beginners should be able to feel something from them, not to mention that microdosing has been shown to have several potential therapeutic benefits

Pro Tip: Wait one hour before increasing the dose. While effects often begin within 15-30 minutes, giving it an hour allows for a better sense of how it’s working before deciding on more.

Intermediate Users

If you have some experience with edibles or regularly use cannabis, slightly higher doses may feel more appropriate while still maintaining control over the experience.

Pro Tip: Pay attention to timing because nano gummies act faster than traditional edibles, the effects tend to peak quicker.

Experienced Consumers

Frequent cannabis users or those familiar with higher-THC products may prefer more potent doses. However, even seasoned users should remain aware of the quicker onset and shorter duration that nano gummies provide.

  • 15mg THC: A potent dose that creates a pronounced euphoric high and deep relaxation.

  • 20 to 25mg THC: A high dose intended for those comfortable with intense psychoactive effects.

Pro Tip: Break higher doses into smaller portions. Taking smaller amounts over time offers better control over how intense the experience becomes.

Getting the Most Out of Your Nano Edible Experience

Nano gummies work faster and provide more consistent effects than traditional edibles, but how you consume them can shape the experience. Knowing the best way to take nano edibles allows for smoother effects and helps you avoid common missteps like taking too much too soon or misjudging the timing.

Tips for a Better Experience

Here’s how to have an enjoyable experience with nano edibles: 

  1. Start With a Low Dose: Nano edibles absorb quickly and pack a stronger punch compared to regular gummies. Starting small helps you avoid overwhelming effects.

  2. Consider the Timing: The quick onset of nano edibles makes them a good choice when you want fast results. Many people use them in the evening for relaxation, while smaller doses can work earlier in the day for a mild, functional experience. Eating a light snack beforehand may slightly slow down absorption but can also extend the duration of effects.

  3. Set a Comfortable Environment: Your surroundings can significantly impact your experience. Whether you're using nano edibles to relax, spark creativity, or enjoy social time, having a cozy setup can make the effects more enjoyable. Consider adding soft lighting, music, or planning a movie night to enhance the vibe.

  4. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps with smoother absorption and prevents common side effects like dry mouth. Having a glass of water before and during your experience can also reduce grogginess as the effects wear off, leaving you feeling more refreshed.

Safety and Responsible Consumption

Nano edibles are known for their fast effects, but using them responsibly helps create a smooth and enjoyable experience. 

Paying attention to dosing, storage, and timing can prevent overconsumption or unwanted side effects. Since nano gummies absorb so quickly, their effects might feel stronger than expected, which makes careful use all the more important.

Key Safety Tips

Here are some important safety tips to follow when using nano edibles:

  • Proper Storage: Store nano edibles in airtight containers, away from heat and moisture. A cool, dark place works best for preserving their potency. Using child-resistant packaging adds an extra layer of safety to prevent accidental ingestion.

  • Spacing Out Doses: Wait at least an hour before taking a second dose. Nano edibles tend to act faster than traditional ones, and adding more too soon can lead to stronger effects than intended.

  • Avoid Mixing: Steer clear of combining nano edibles with alcohol or other substances that might amplify THC’s effects. Mixing can cause unpleasant reactions like dizziness, nausea, or a more intense high than expected.

  • What to Do if Overwhelmed: If the effects feel too strong, stay hydrated, find a quiet place to relax, and let the sensation pass. Taking CBD may help reduce heightened THC effects. For severe symptoms, such as a rapid heart rate or confusion, don’t hesitate to seek medical help.

Adding Nano Edibles to Your Wellness Routine

Nano edibles can easily fit into various parts of your day, offering faster effects and consistent results. Whether it’s clarity in the morning, a mood lift in the afternoon, or unwinding in the evening, nano gummies provide a convenient way to experience THC without long waits.

Suggestions for Daily Use

Let’s go over some tips on the best use practices for nano edibles depending on the time of day. 

Morning Start

A small dose of nano THC in the morning can help set the tone for the day with a clear and motivated mindset. A low dose of 2.5 to 5mg offers a mild lift without overwhelming effects.

For those who enjoy a more energizing start, a sativa-leaning nano gummy pairs well with a cup of coffee or a morning workout.

Midday Break

For easing stress or staying productive during the afternoon, nano gummies with a balanced cannabinoid profile can help maintain focus while keeping you calm. A 5 to 10mg dose offers steady, manageable effects. Because nano edibles act quickly and wear off after a few hours, they won’t disrupt your plans later in the day.

Evening Wind-Down

Nano THC can be helpful for relaxing after a busy day. A dose of 10 to 15mg in the evening promotes calmness without carrying over into the next morning. Pairing nano THC with cannabinoids like CBD or CBN can deepen the soothing effect.

Weekend Use

For social gatherings or quiet personal time, nano gummies deliver quick relief and avoid the unpredictability of traditional edibles. A 10 to 20mg dose, depending on your tolerance, can enhance the experience without causing excessive drowsiness. The shorter duration of effects keeps things manageable.
