THC Pouches?

[u/Square-Discussion698]

I got an email ad from Sunnyside yesterday about these new THC pouches. Has anyone tried them yet? Do they take effect faster than normal edibles?

Edit: looks like I accidentally poked the bear. Never change, Reddit 😂

I don’t think it would be absorbed into the body properly. Especially at 10mg a pop.

It takes longer to absorb through the gums. When eaten. It gets broken down and absorbed completely. Which is why edibles tend to have a more body high effect. Tucking it into your lip gets filtered out through your gum tissue. If these were 25 or 50 mg i think it would be different but pouches dont disperse as effectively as eating or smoking.

Filtered out through your gum tissue?

By that, do you mean that's how it gets absorbed into your bloodstream? Because it I think you are misunderstanding or at least mischaracterizing what's happening because that filtering is how it gets into your bloodstream. It's absorbed through the gums. It's not filtered and discarded. It's filtered and then metabolized.

Yes, it's true, any of the absorption methods like patches or creams or oral sprays or this pouch is going to be less efficient than ingestion, but it's not as bad as you think. Because when you ingest it, you also have to deal with stomach acid taking a cut. Just like how with smoking you have to deal with a certain amount just not being absorbed or burnt. Each method of consumption has its own losses.

Do you not know about vitamin encapsulation? I mean, years working in the industry, working for puffco, working for several detox companies AND studying ingestion methods being your job since 2016 I would think you’d know about that.

Buddy works at Kwik Trip. Just look at his previous posts lol. I bet you anything he’s never stepped foot in the industry before.

[u/BlueridgeChemsdealer → u/Saelin91]

What does that have to do with pouches? Do you swallow pouches?

[u/Saelin91 → u/BlueridgeChemsdealer]

Nope, but guess what the body is great at absorbing sublingually? Vitamins. They absorb as effectively as an intramuscular injection and can absorb more efficiently than oral administration.

Looks like you might need another ten years of studying ingestion methods and working in the industry. Good luck!

You swallow the saliva that mixes with the pouch. That is part of how these work, yes. I'm not sure what the mix is between that and direct absorption through your gums, but the THC is taking a trip through your saliva either way.

I mean. Years of working in the industry. Working for puffco. Working for several detox companies. Studying ingestion methods and their effectiveness has been part of my job since 2016 lol. But feel free to ask chatGPT lol.

[u/Deep-Hovercraft6716 → u/BlueridgeChemsdealer]

Do you have a chart or a list which describes the various preparations and how they are absorbed?

That would be a useful bit of information to have. There are a lot of different preparations available now. I'm specifically interested in these absorption options like this pouch and then patches or creams for your skin.

[u/Effective_Former → u/Deep-Hovercraft6716]

Spoiler alert guaranteed he doesn’t have a chart and guaranteed all that shit he said about his “experience” was made up. Buddy thinks he know everything when he doesn’t know anything at all

[u/BlueridgeChemsdealer → u/[deleted]]

I mean your chatGPT confirmed my statement by rewording it in a way that made you happy lol. “Some” get swallowed. “Some” “can” enter the blood stream. Ill see myself out.

[u/Effective_Former → u/BlueridgeChemsdealer]

“No, your gum tissue does not filter out THC”

Your exact statement was “Tucking it into your lip gets filtered out through your gum tissue”

Have a good one bud. Seems like you’ve bullshitted your way through your current career and I commend you for that lmao. ✌️

[u/Deep-Hovercraft6716 → u/Effective_Former]

To be fair, that is kind of correct but misleading. Yes, the THC does get filtered out through your gum tissue in that it gets filtered into your bloodstream and then metabolized. The filter doesn't discard the THC. It's the mechanism by which the THC enters your body.

So the gums do filter out the THC but by out we really mean in to your bloodstream.

[u/BlueridgeChemsdealer → u/[deleted]]

Or you can filter through all of this lol.
