Our Fast Acting Fruit Chews have been a big hit with patients, and now we are pleased to introduce Fast Acting Chocolates! These delicious new products are a great option for patients who are looking for a faster onset and shorter duration of effects. They also work well for many patients who do not get relief from traditional edibles.
Our 200mg Fast Acting Dark Chocolate Bars are now available at both GraniteLeaf locations. More varieties of Fast Acting Chocolates will be coming soon.

Why Try Fast Acting Chocolates?
Traditional cannabis edibles work very well for many patients, but there are a few potential downsides:
- Some individuals require very high doses of edible THC to receive an effect, and others report experiencing no effect at any dose.
- The slow onset of traditional edibles can present challenges for accurate dosing.
- When we consume traditional edibles, our livers convert the THC into a different molecule called “11-hydroxy-THC,” which some patients find beneficial while others do not.
Like our Fast Acting Fruit Chews, our Fast Acting Chocolates offer some important potential advantages over traditional edibles:
- Patients who do not receive the desired effect from our traditional chocolates may have a much better experience with Fast Acting Chocolates.
- The faster onset means patients don’t have to wait long periods for relief.
- Most of the THC in our Fast Acting Chocolates is absorbed by the soft tissues of the mouth and esophagus, so only a small amount makes it through the digestive system to be converted into 11-hydroxy-THC. (This explains why the effects may be more similar to the effects of inhaling Delta-9 THC.)
In short, our Fast Acting Chocolates (and Fruit Chews) work much differently from traditional edibles because our bodies process them much differently! If you’d like to learn more about the science behind these products, visit the Fast Acting Edibles page on our website.
