How Long Do THC Drink Effects Last? A Guide to the Buzz Window

Afterdream THC

One of the most common questions we get: How long will I feel it?

The duration of a THC drink’s effects depends on the dose, your metabolism, and what you’ve eaten—but in general, expect to feel the effects for 2 to 4 hours. That makes it ideal for social settings or relaxed evenings where you want to feel lifted but not locked in for the night.

Why it’s different than edibles:

Edibles can last 6–8 hours or more, with peaks that feel unpredictable. That’s because they’re metabolized slowly through your liver. Drinks, on the other hand, start absorbing in the mouth and stomach, which leads to faster, smoother effects that taper more gradually.

Microdosed = Manageable:

Afterdream is formulated with 2–5mg of Delta-9 THC—a dose meant to complement, not overpower. The effects tend to rise gently in about 15–30 minutes and fade without a crash.

What to expect during the window:

  • Subtle body calm

  • Clear-headed relaxation

  • Heightened social ease

  • A touch of euphoria or creativity

Timing tip:

If you’re new, try Afterdream at home first to get a feel for your personal response. Once you understand your buzz window, it becomes a tool—not a surprise.
