Cannabis edibles have become a popular choice for both recreational and medicinal users. At The Natural Source, we believe in providing our customers with the best information to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. In this blog, we'll discuss the proper way to consume edible cannabis products, how to dose
them correctly, and why you might prefer edibles over other forms of cannabis.
Why Choose Edibles?
Edibles offer several advantages over other methods of consuming cannabis:
Discreet Consumption: Edibles are easy to consume without drawing attention, making them ideal for those who prefer a more private experience.
Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of edibles can last much longer than smoking or vaping, providing extended relief for medical users.
No Inhalation: For those who are concerned about the health risks associated with smoking, edibles offer a smoke-free alternative.
Properly Eating Edible Cannabis Products
Start Low and Go Slow: The golden rule of consuming edibles is to start with a low dose and wait to see how it affects you before consuming more. This is crucial because the effects of edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in.
Read the Label: Always check the packaging for information on the THC and CBD content. This will help you understand the potency of the product and determine the appropriate dose.
Be Patient: Unlike smoking or vaping, the effects of edibles are not immediate. It’s important to wait at least 2 hours before considering taking more. Consuming too much too quickly can lead to an uncomfortable experience.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Well: Drinking plenty of water and having a light meal before consuming edibles can help mitigate any potential negative effects, such as dry mouth or dizziness.
Correct Way to Dose Edibles
Understand Your Tolerance: If you are new to edibles, start with a dose of 2.5 to 5 mg of THC. Experienced users might start with 10 mg, but it's always better to err on the side of caution.
Microdosing: For those who want to experience the benefits of cannabis without the high, microdosing (taking very small amounts) can be an effective strategy. This typically involves doses of 1-2 mg of THC.
Keep a Journal: Track your consumption and the effects you experience. This can help you find the right dose for your needs and avoid overconsumption in the future.
Consult with Professionals: If you’re unsure about dosing, don’t hesitate to ask for advice from knowledgeable staff at The Natural Source or consult with a healthcare professional.
Getting the Best Effect
Choose the Right Product: Different edibles can produce different effects. For example, a product high in CBD may be more relaxing, while one high in THC may be more euphoric. Choose based on your desired outcome.
Consider the Timing: Plan your consumption around your schedule. Since the effects can last several hours, make sure you’re in a comfortable environment and don’t have any pressing obligations.
Combine with Other Activities: Enhance your experience by combining edibles with relaxing activities such as watching a movie, listening to music, or spending time in nature.
Stay Safe: Always consume edibles in a safe environment, especially if you are new to them. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how they affect you.
