We all are well aware of the cannabis trend these days and the fact that this industry is booming rapidly. It is also growing into one of the biggest markets for edible products because various cannabis-infused edibles, like cookies or candies, are making their way into the mainstream market.
And from the present-day trends in this marketplace, it seems quite likely that it will only increase over the upcoming years. However, cannabis consumption is not something that you can take lightly, and for this reason, we have compiled the six most valuable tips so that you can consume THC edibles with caution and without any stress.
1. Learn About Your Tolerance
One of the most important things that you must be well aware of is your tolerance. This is important, so you can continue to have a great time without risking a downhill spiral. Several companies that produce Cannabis edibles, usually recommend that you start with a small dose (5 mg or less) for the first use. This small dosage will help you understand your tolerance level and you can manage the consumption accordingly.
2. Read the Labels Carefully
One of the biggest problems with cannabis edibles is that they often take a long time to kick in. For some users, it can even take about 2 hours to feel any effect, while others may feel high in just 30 minutes. It may also vary according to the specific product because it may be different for a delta 8 edible than other varieties available in the market. Once it kicks in, it is often quite intense and lasts much longer. All of this makes it difficult to manage the dosage, and if you are not reading the product labels carefully, you may miss out on relevant information that will help you manage the dosage properly.
3. Patience is a Must
It is not like smoking a cigarette and feeling that instant high that lasts for a while and goes away. The effect of cannabis edibles takes longer to kick in and it lasts much longer too. After the first dose, you need to wait about 2 hours before taking another dose. It is advisable to keep the waiting time at least an hour between each dose.
4. Have a Good Meal
It is not advisable to consume cannabis edibles on an empty stomach. If you are just starting out with cannabis consumption, it is more important that you have a proper meal before taking the recommended dosage of cannabis edibles. If you consume it on an empty stomach, the effects will be much stronger than you may be anticipating.
5. Make Your Surroundings Comfortable
If you want to have a pleasurable experience , then you need to make sure that your surroundings are comfortable. Be physically, mentally, and socially ready before your first use of a cannabis edible. Be in a safe and comfortable location, around people you trust, and sit in a relaxed position (it would help to rest your head somewhere comfortably). This will further enhance the overall experience.
6. Relax and Have a Great Time
If you are consuming cannabis edibles thoughtfully, then it is definitely going to be a fun and relaxing experience for you. This is one of the main reasons for cannabis consumption and if you are consistently fretting about the effects it may or may not have on you, then you are not truly enjoying the experience. So, let your mind wander a bit and relish the experience. The first time is obviously quite unique and thrilling, so take your time with it.
