EDIBLES

#1 Clear your schedule. It takes some time for you to start feeling the effects of edibles and this means that they take longer to leave your system. Cannabis goodies can have you couch-locked or stuck depending on the dosage. So make sure you take care of any responsibilities beforehand.

#2 Think about what’s in your stomach. Even though edibles are digested, it is still a good idea to put some food in that belly. If you take edibles on an empty stomach, there is a good chance you will feel the effects quicker and stronger. For a beginner, this can be extremely intense.

Also, be careful of mixing alcohol with your treats. Alcohol thins the blood and can increase THC blood concentration intensely. So you’re definitely going to want to think before you drink with cannabis.

#3 Start small and take it slow. It’s not a race. Because you are digesting marijuana, your body needs time. It takes a while to process your stomach contents, so you won’t feel high instantly compared to smoking.

#4 Read the package dosing guidelines carefully. The average dosage that people take in edibles is 10mg. I recommend 5mg for the newbies. It is not the same as smoking and it affects the body slightly different.

A package of cannabis-infused candies is legally allowed to have a maximum of 10mg of THC per piece. We encourage micro-dosing to test your tolerance.

#5 Get in comfortable surroundings. Nothing is worse than being too high in an uncomfortable environment. I recommend taking edibles in the comfort of your home or somewhere that makes you feel cozy.
