Although cannabis edibles are nothing new, their popularity has increased in the last couple of years. The market for cannabis edibles is not what it used to be 20 years ago. Unlike in the past, today there are many dispensaries where you can find a variety of edibles. Even a few restaurants are serving edible-infused pastries and cappuccinos. So, if you do not want to miss out on this delicacy, take a look at these edibles consumption tips to ensure you take it correctly.

Benefits of Edibles

Here are some of the benefits of making cannabis edibles:

• They have long-lasting effects, lasting between 2 and 5 hours depending on the amount consumed.
• Convenient where one does not have to step outside to smoke. You can even take one when on public transport.
• Low-profile dosing because they do not leave any smell behind.

Risks

Edibles are a product of cannabis, meaning there are some risks involved. And while the risks are often uncommon, here are some of the side effects one can experience when taken irresponsibly:

• Increased heart rate
• Anxiety or paranoia
• Impaired cognitive function
• Nausea or vomiting
• Hallucination
• Diarrhea
• Tiredness

Edible Dosage Guide

Edible dosages are usually measured in milligrams. Read the label on the amount of CBD or THC content per serving. This will ensure you take the right amount. The dosage threshold for each person is different. If you are new to this, here is a dosage guideline.

THC

Edible dosages of THC can range from 1 to 100 mg, which gives you plenty of room for adjustment. However, THC edible dosages often depend on one’s tolerance and the results one is looking for.

• For mild effects: Users with moderate THC tolerance can take a dose of 10 mg, while users with zero tolerance should take a dose of 2 to 5 mg.
• For stronger effects: Users with moderate THC tolerance can take a dosage of 20 to 30 mg, while people with zero THC tolerance looking for more potent effects can take a dosage of 5 to 10 mg.

CBD

CBD does not have psychoactive effects. It is often taken for therapeutic purposes, and the usual dosage can range from 5 to 30 mg. As CBD has no psychoactive effects, the risk of overdose is very low. However, it is good to start with smaller doses and increase with time.

How to Consume Edibles Safely

The first thing you should do when you buy edibles is to read the package carefully and understand the dosing details and dosing style. Some edibles are meant to be chewed and metabolized through digestion, while others are sublingually administered. Also, note that edibles take about 90 minutes before the effects can manifest.
