Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When cannabis is ingested orally, it undergoes first-pass metabolism in the liver, which means that a significant amount of the THC is broken down before it can reach the bloodstream and the brain. In contrast, when cannabis is inhaled, the THC is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and bypasses first-pass metabolism, resulting in a stronger and more immediate effect.
