How it unfolds. By route, then by this strain.

Two routes
Inhaled vs. edibles

Cannabis timing is set by the route — lungs versus gut — before the strain has a say. Edibles run roughly 4× longer and peak ~6× later than inhaled. Once the route is fixed, this strain's chemistry shifts the curve in specific, predictable ways — see the modifiers below.
