  1. 6 TIPS TO ENJOY YOUR MARIJUANA EDIBLE SAFELY

  2. With the legalization of cannabis, access to its edible form has become a lot easier now as compared to what it was in the past. Today, you can visit any local marijuana dispensary and buy cannabis edibles without any problem. .

  3. However, no matter if you are a noob or a pro, with edibles, you always need to be careful. Edibles, as compared to smoking or any other way of consumption, induce completely different effects on you. And thus, it’s very important to clearly understand what you are getting yourself into in order to be safe.

  4. Understand How They Work The effects of edibles are completely different from that of smoking in almost every term. For instance, with smoking, you start experiencing the effects within a few minutes of consumption. While, with edibles, the onset may take anywhere between 30 minutes to two hours. The peak time with edibles is also different. Your effects will usually reach their heights in around 30 to 60 minutes. But with smoking, this time is a lot less. That’s exactly why some people tend to eat more, as they are not very patient to wait for this long. And this leads to overconsumption and thus a bad trip.

  5. But why are the effects of edibles so different? The simple answer to this is that, in this method, the cannabinoids are metabolized in your stomach instead of your lungs. And this process is very different and also takes more time.

  6. Understand Dosing When we talk about the dosage of an edible, we refer to THC, the compound that is responsible for the intoxicating effects of cannabis. And knowing how much of it should you consume is very important to keep the effects well balanced.

  7. For beginners For people with some tolerance 1 to 3 mg for mild effects 3 to 8 mg for medium effects 6 to 15 mg for strong effects 2 to 7 mg for mild effects 5 to 12 mg for medium effects 10 to 20 mg for strong effects For people with high tolerance 5 to 10 mg for mild effects 7 to 15 mg for medium effects 15 to 30 mg for strong effects

  8. Avoid Consuming on Empty Stomach You should prefer consuming edibles only when your stomach is already full. If you consume them on empty stomach, there is a very high chance you’ll experience stronger and faster effects. This is usually because, in this case, your stomach is metabolizing the edibles very quickly as it doesn’t have anything else to do. However, when you consume them on a full stomach, your system already has food to work with. And thus, the metabolization of edibles has to wait.

  9. Always Consume Them in a Relaxed Setting

  10. If you are planning on consuming edibles, make sure you are in a comfortable place. You can enhance your overall marijuana experience two-fold if you are able to relax. Remember that the effects of the herb have the ability to amplify the feelings you already have. And increasing your level of anxiety or panic is perhaps the last thing you want from your marijuana edibles. If you don’t like social gatherings, prefer keeping your edibles session at your own home. In fact, this should be your first option if you don’t have a way to come back home from another place afterward. You must not drive when you are high.

  11. Never Mix it With Alcohol Sometimes, people may think of mixing cannabis with alcohol for better and more intense high. However, this may prove to be very dangerous. Keep in mind the effects of both these substances, even individually, can be unpredictable. So, combining them is most likely going to make matters worse only.

  12. Tips to Handle a Bad Edible High Keep some CBD-only edibles with you to combat the negative effects of THC. Always buy high-quality edibles and only from a trusted source. Keep yourself hydrated. Keep a few healthy snacks with you. Chew some black pepper. Take a nice, cold shower. Distract yourself.

  13. Edibles are perhaps the safest and one of the most popular ways of consuming cannabis, especially among medical users. However, they may sometimes become problematic because of the way they work. Follow the tips given above to keep your edibles experience as enjoyable as possible.
