why edibles hit different
the most misunderstood form of cannabis
if you ask ten people about their first edible, you’ll hear ten wildly different stories. some felt nothing. others woke up on the couch hours later, wondering what happened to the movie.
edibles are, paradoxically, both the safest way to enjoy cannabis and the hardest to predict.
the smoke-free perks
because cannabinoids travel through your digestive system—not your lungs—edibles skip the irritants that come with smoke or vapor. no combustion, no coughing fit, no lingering odor. for wellness-minded consumers, athletes, or anyone who values clean breathing, that’s a clear win. yet safety alone isn’t enough; experience matters.
what the heck is bioavailability?
when you swallow THC or CBD, only a fraction survives digestion and first-pass metabolism.
how much makes it into your bloodstream depends on several moving parts:
your body: metabolism, weight, age, even gut microbiome
your meal: empty stomach vs. full stomach
the recipe: oil type, particle size, emulsifiers, structural base (pectin, gelatin, chocolate)
essentially, two identical gummies taken by two different people can land like entirely different adventures. that inconsistency is why some people swear off edibles after one bad ride while others keep chasing the perfect dose.
the liver plot-twist
traditional edibles make a pit stop in your liver, where delta-9 THC is converted into 11-hydroxy THC—a heavier metabolite that hits later and can feel stronger and less predictable than inhalation. it’s the main reason a “standard” dose can either feel mild or like a roller-coaster, depending on who you ask.
our fast-acting solution
good times™ skips most of the absorption in the liver — by using a state-of-the-art process to encapsulate the active compounds in a nano-emulsion, our gummies dissolve sooner and the important parts are absorbed directly through the lining of the upper intestine…fast—that means effects in 10-15 minutes and a higher share of straight delta-9 THC, closer to the effect you’d expect from smoking: quick onset, clear head, steady lift. same molecule, zero smoke.
encapsulation isn’t just faster—it locks the cannabinoids evenly through the gummy, meaning each bite delivers the same precise dosage you saw on the box, every time.
we essentially make the good stuff really really small so it gets into your system fast without being converted in your liver like normal edibles.
predictable by design
at good times™, we’d rather be predictable than flashy. we obsess over the boring stuff—precision batching, particle engineering, carrier oils —because that’s what turns milligrams on a label into a measurable, repeatable feeling.
every batch is homogenized in the lab, verified by third-party tests (which we proudly list on our website), and tasted by real people just like you. the payoff is a steady lift you can set your watch to, whether you’re new to cannabis or simply want one less variable in your life.
edibles shouldn’t feel like a gamble….they should just mean good times.
