My thought was since honey is absorbed quickly perhaps the medicinal effects could be fast acting. As opposed to with edibles which would take longer to produce an effect. Of course, inhaling it via smoke or vaporizer would be instant action, but many medicinal users would prefer to avoid inhalants like smoking. The benefit of instant action would be for people that have seizures or spasms, or need quick pain relief. Again, not a medical professional, just thinking out loud.

You're comparing types of cannabis, but you should be comparing types of honey.

Some honey has already been medicalised - Manuka honey is used in burns dressings for example.

There's a bunch of adulteration and poor quality product in honey, so these niches are useful for people creating a higher quality product.
