Caps
Caps offer an efficient and controlled method of ingesting THC and CBD. All capsules contain the exact same dosage so there’s little variation in effects. Caps are absorbed through the digestive system, making them ideal for stomach or digestive issues. It is important to allow them to take up to an hour to take full effect. The effects should last up to approximately 6 hours.
At SacredMeds, we offer a variety of Caps to help you find the experience that best suits your needs.
What are Caps?
Caps are simply Cannabis in Capsule form. They are one of the most common forms of Medicinal Marijuana on the market today. Patients often choose Caps because they offer a much more convenient and discreet method of Cannabis use. They provide accurate information on dosage, and allow users to plan for consistent and continual effects. Caps are usually not specific to any one strain, but instead to a specific Cannabinoid. In most cases, either THC or CBD.
Effects of Caps
Caps come in a variety of strengths and combinations of THC and CBD. They are however, primarily available in Immediate-release (fast acting) or timed-release (long lasting).
Fast Acting Relief
Immediate-release capsules work just like edibles. They enter the body through the digestive system. The absorbed THC is then metabolized in the liver. There, the THC is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC. This provides a longer lasting, more potent form of the drug. These Caps are perfect when you need relief from pain right away.
It is import to remember that everyone experiences Cannabis differently. Allow yourself ample time for the Caps to take effect. In general, Immediate-release Caps take 15 to 45 minutes to administer effects. These effects can last upwards of 4 hours.
Long Lasting Relief
Timed-release capsules enter the body the same way, but their effects are released over time. This is as a result of their ingredients and their shell’s base material. For example, Shells made with hydrogel are designed for slowed release of effects. When combined with other protective ingredients, they help to neutralize stomach acids. This in turn assists in the long-lasting effects of the Caps. These Caps are perfect for those who need a constant amount of relief from pain.
Benefits of Cannabis Caps
Outside of being safe and convenient, Caps offer an array of beneficial effects. They are a great way to relieve headaches as well as muscle aches and pain. They offer great anti-inflammatory properties to reduce swelling and tightness. Caps are also commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, and have great benefits to those suffering from sleeping disorders.
Higher grade Caps can even be used to help reduce seizures in epileptics. They can even be strong enough to combat the pain and side effects associated with Cancer treatments.
Capsule Ingredients
Crystalline
Crystalline is a grainy substance that looks like salt or sugar. It contains nearly 100% pure cannabinoids, usually THCA or CBDA only. During extraction, all other compounds are removed. This allows users to ingest Cannabis without the psychoactive effects of THC.
Decarboxylated Cannabis Flower
Many Caps contain ground decarboxylated cannabis flower. Decarboxylation is a process by which the THCA in Cannabis is activated into THC. This allows users to consume THC without vaping or combustion. This process is most commonly used in the production of Cannabis Edibles.
Distillate
Distillates are one of the purest ways to enjoy Cannabis. Once the Cannabis oil is extracted, it goes though a rigorous refining process that separates the Cannabinoids from the other materials. The isolated Cannabinoid, either THC or CBD, can reach levels of up to 98% purity.
Nutraceutical Oils
These Oils are often added to Caps to give them extra desired effects. If you’re looking for increased energy, look for caps with ginkgo root. If you’re trying to provide sedation, try hop flower. You can even add turmeric for increased nutrition. Nutraceutical Oils are the best method of adding these effects.
Single Cannabinoid
As their name suggests, Single Cannabinoid capsules offer only THC or CBD.As a result, they don’t offer any of the benefits of other cannabinoids or terpenes.
Multi-cannabinoid
Multi-cannabinoid Caps are perfect for those looking to combine the effects of both THC and CBD. The balance of Cannabinoids is most often 1:1, however, these Caps come in a variety of strengths and percentages. Due to their balanced effects, multi-cannabinoid Caps are ideal for new users. We suggest starting here if you are new to Cannabis Capsules.
Full spectrum
Full Spectrum Caps utilize all of the Cannabis plant’s available biomolecules. They contain everything from terpenes to cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds. Each of these compounds has their own therapeutic qualities, working together to cause whats known as the “Entourage Effect”. When all of the compounds found in Cannabis are working together, they provide added benefits to each other. This is the best way to enjoy CBD and THC in Cap form.
