Compare the onset and duration of effect for various THC pain relief methods.

THC pain vapes work fastest at 2–5 minutes lasting 2–3 hours - ideal for acute pain flares. Tinctures absorb sublingually within 15–30 minutes lasting 3–5 hours for moderate relief. Edibles take 45–90 minutes but deliver the longest-lasting 6–8 hour relief - best suited for chronic pain requiring sustained all-day management.
