Everything you need to know before biting into a legal cannabis cake.
What is a Space Cake?
A space cake is a pastry — often a cake or muffin — infused with cannabinoids from hemp, such as THC, CBD, CBG, or CBN. Unlike smoking a joint, here everything happens in the stomach: the effect comes from ingestion, not inhalation. The result? The sensations are different — usually longer, stronger, and sometimes tricky if the dosage isn’t right.Popularized by Amsterdam coffee shops, space cakes have since spread across Europe. Today, the 100% legal version (with less than 0.3% THC, compliant with EU law) is enjoyed by cannabis enthusiasts looking for a safe and tasty experience.
How does it work in the body?
Once ingested, THC (and other cannabinoids) are processed by your digestive system. The liver converts THC into 11-OH-THC, a metabolite stronger and longer-lasting than regular THC.What this means:
Slower onset: 30–90 minutes
Longer effects: often 6–8 hours, sometimes more
Smoother but more intense high
That’s why people love it: no smoke, no odor, just a progressive high that lasts — if dosed properly.
What are the effects of a Space Cake?
Your experience depends on many factors: body weight, tolerance, mood, food intake, and of course, dosage.
20 mg+: powerful, sedative effects — not for beginners
Are there risks or side effects?
Yes, mainly from improper dosage or eating too much too quickly (“I don’t feel anything after 20 minutes, let’s take more…”).
Possible side effects:
Anxiety, mental discomfort
Dizziness, disorientation
Dry mouth, red eyes
Digestive upset (rare)
Temporary low blood pressure
These effects are temporary. Unlike alcohol, there’s no risk of coma or lasting damage. Usually, you just need to wait it out. That’s why patience, moderation, and a safe setting are essential.
How THC works in the brain
Once processed by the liver, THC becomes 11-hydroxy-THC, which crosses the blood-brain barrier easily and binds to CB1 receptors. That’s when the “trip” begins.Some feel a rush of ideas and emotions, others deep relaxation. But if the environment is stressful or the dose too high, it can cause confusion, anxiety, or panic.Pro tip: Set the mood — calm space, good music, and no stress.
How to dose your Space Cake
Dosage is everything. It determines whether your experience is pleasant or overwhelming.
Recommended dosages:
🟢 Beginner – 5 to 10 mg THC (≈ one cone): light and relaxing.
🟡 Intermediate – 10 to 20 mg (≈ two cones): noticeable high, euphoria, laughter, creativity.
🔴 Experienced – 20 mg+: strong effects, possible disconnection. Not recommended for beginners.
Golden rule:
Start low and go slow. Wait at least 90 minutes before taking more, and never consume on an empty stomach.
