Cannabinoid Metabolism
Cannabinoid metabolism describes how the body transforms cannabinoids into active and inactive metabolites over time.
Quick Summary
Cannabinoid metabolism describes how the body transforms cannabinoids into active and inactive metabolites over time.
Deep Dive
Metabolic pathways can change potency profile, duration, and impairment windows.
Liver enzymes play a key role in conversion and clearance rates.
Inter-individual variability creates different experiences from similar doses.
Key Takeaways
- Metabolism influences effect intensity and duration.
- Testing windows and impairment are not the same concept.
- Metabolic variability complicates one-size guidance.
