How to Safely Consume Edibles From LA Dispensaries
Cannabis edibles are an intense, long-lasting, and delicious way to consume marijuana. Cookies, brownies, and drinks are excellent for patients who can't smoke or inhale cannabis. But there are some things to keep in mind when enjoying edibles from LA dispensaries. Here's everything you need to know.
Watch Your Dosage and Start Slow
Cannabis-infused edibles typically offer a more intense high than inhaling or vaping. Edible effects can creep up on you and last much longer than standard methods. The slow onset might make you think the product is a dud or the dosage didn't work properly. Wait right there! Consuming more edibles than your tolerance allows is the first step to having a bad experience.
Ensure you're watching your dosage, regardless of your tolerance level. Newcomers and beginners can feel intense effects from THC dosages between 2.5 to 10 mg. Because edibles can take 30 minutes to over two hours to kick in, it's best to take less than you normally would and wait to see how you feel. Remember: less is more, and you can always add on but can't take away.
Plan Your Trip
It's common to feel higher than you expected when you eat a cannabis brownie, gummy, or drink. Intense body sensations and cerebral effects are completely normal, as the THC is processed differently from inhaling marijuana. That's why it's vital to plan ahead.
Be sure to consume any THC-infused in an environment where you feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. You might want to make travel arrangements beforehand if you're enjoying edibles away from home. Setting aside six or more hours is also recommended, as the effects can last a long time.
Don't Mix Substances
Unfortunately, you'll hear stories about people mixing cannabis with alcohol or other substances. Mixing substances is never recommended and often results in a bad experience.
Alcohol can increase the intoxicating and impairing effects of THC. It's likely to feel intense sensations of nausea, paranoia, and anxiety if you mix substances. If you're consuming edibles, stick with only edibles. If you're drinking alcohol, stick with only alcohol.
Mixing cannabis with other drugs such as stimulants or depressants can also lead to unpleasant experiences and negative health complications. Be sure to stick with only one substance for the night. Doing so will prevent any harmful interactions and negative health consequences.
