Eli5 Why do some drugs (ie party drugs) work immediately while others need time (weeks) to get in your system? Could a higher dose get them in your system faster?

What drug is it you think takes weeks to get into your system? That isn’t a thing.

Some drugs can take weeks for their effects to be fully evident, or for the body to reach homeostasis (for instance, some antidepressants), but the drug is in your system and having effects within hours of taking it, even if they’re not always immediately apparent.
