If you’re looking for an alternative or supplement to smoking cannabis, edibles can be a great option. They are discreet, tasty (and easy) to consume, and can keep the high vibes going for a longer duration of time. If you’re wondering how to get the best experience out of edibles, this post is for you. You may use this short guide to learn more about how cannabis-infused edibles work and how much you should eat. Having a good time is easy to achieve if you choose wisely.
JUST HOW DO EDIBLES WORK?
THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, is processed in your body differently depending on how you consume it. You’ll feel the effects of THC in different ways depending on how quickly your body absorbs it.
THC and other cannabinoids are taken in by the body via the lungs when you smoke. This goes directly into the bloodstream and has a noticeable impact in minutes. However, before the cannabinoids in edibles can be taken into circulation, your body must digest the food to break it down. As a result, edibles might take between 30 minutes and several hours to take effect and can come on much stronger.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE EFFECTS OF EDIBLES?
Edibles may generate a buzz that is distinct from smoking. The liver turns THC into a different molecule (11-hydroxy-THC) than the lungs do when you ingest it. That is why ingesting cannabis can be more potent than smoking it. Let us be clear: Dosage is still the most important component in determining how you feel. Eating cannabis edibles, on the other hand, may increase the potency of THC even though the dose may be the same.
Each person experiences the effects differently. The effects of THC edibles depend on several factors, including weight, hydration, and food.
HOW TO DOSE CANNABIS EDIBLES
THE BEST WAY TO BEGIN IS “LOW AND SLOW”
It might take up to 90 minutes for the effects of edibles to kick in, so if you’re a novice, “low and slow” is your mantra. The typical “dose” of THC in an edible is 5mg. If this is your first time taking it, start with a dose of no more than 5 mg. If you decide to take more, start with 10 mg and work up to 15 mg. Slow and steady wins the race until you discover your sweet spot. It’s important to keep in mind that edibles may be over-indulged, so take your time finding the best experience for you!
Silliness, euphoria, creativity and relaxation may be expected. Whether you are socializing with friends or unwinding after a long day, consuming THC edibles can elevate your vibe.
CREATE THE SPACE TO RELAX & UNWIND
Set the mood. We all relax and unwind in different ways. A comfortable environment is key to a good time, with or without edibles. Have fun curating your space with the right music, lighting, and activities to make your edible experience tranquil and fun. For first-time users, edibles are best enjoyed at home. Doing it in the company of a friend is also a great option.
Drinking alcohol can intensify the effects of THC, so avoid doing so before or after consuming THC edibles if you’re still learning how they manifest in your body.
WHAT IF YOU OVERINDULGE?
Hey, sometimes it happens. Finding the perfect dosage can be an exploration, but one well worth the journey! Paranoia is not a common side effect, but if you do feel queasy, dizzy, paranoid, or agitated after consuming cannabis edibles, orange juice can help you feel less high by boosting your blood sugar levels. Also, drink lots of water. Watch a humorous movie or listen to your favorite music to pass the time. You’ll come down to a more relaxed state over time. Just remember that everything will be OK.
FINAL THOUGHTS
THC edibles provide a wide variety of advantages. Make sure you choose high-quality THC edibles from a trusted company manufactured with all-natural ingredients and third-party lab testing.
Remember that your smoking tolerance will not be the same as your edible tolerance. Even if you’ve been smoking for a long time, what you can smoke does not translate to what you can ingest. Always begin small and work your way up.
If you’re serious about giving edibles a go, know that it may take a few go’s to determine the perfect dosage for you. To see what all the fuss is about, go out and get some high-quality cannabis treats! When it comes to edible cannabis products, BLNCD Naturals is a trusted source!
