Default Is the half-life of all Cannabinoids in MJ similar?

I was wondering if anyone knew the half life of any of the 60+ cannabinoids in marijuana. The reason I'm wondering is for medical reasons.

I take 2 mj capsules a day, one in the morning, one at night. I never even get high, but feel really good now that my depression, anxiety, and fatigue is gone. However, I was curious about something.

Lets say that in the marijuana, there's 1 cannabinoid that is creating the healing effect for me. And, I can tell that this effect only lasts about 4-5 hours when I eat it. At this point I can feel myself returning to my anxiety and depressive state, and need to take another pill.

But what if there are other cannabinoids that have a longer half-life, and so by taking 2 pills a day, over time I'm building up to a huge level of this chemical in my system. What if this chemical, in large quantities , does bad things to your body, like effects your memory, or just anything.

It would be nice to be able to take a home test to measure what amount of the chemical I need is in my system, instead of using my pscyhological and body state of mind as a clue to self titrate.

Whenever I start to feel my problems creep up, I just take another pill. but what if some of the other cannabinoids are building up to unsafe levels, and my "body-mind" can't pick up on it. What I mean is, if something is building up to a toxic level, how am I supposed to know? Will my body feel really bad? Or what?

Sorry, this is kinda complicated, but if anyone can understand this please post your thoughts, or message me for clarification.

To reach the toxic level of Marijuana or any of its cannabinoids you'd have to digest hundreds to thousands of pills in one sitting.

The only adverse reaction could be a higher tolerance as these cannabinoids build up in your system.

You might see short term memory problems but to me it appears that you keep a pretty low dose so the problems will be slight if any.

Regrettfully, the half lives of the cannabinoids other than THC are not known, or the information is not yet published.

Wish I could give you more information.
