THE RULE OF EDIBLES
- READ THE LABEL All edibles are clearly marked with potency information. become familiar with dosages. only purchase products that have been lab tested so that you can be sure of what you are getting.
- EDIBLES ARE DIFFERENT
Edibles are different. even if you have smoked marijuana before, edibles affect the body differently - IT TAKES TIME
Just because you are not felling the effects right away does not mean that it is not working, as we learned many factors can effect the speed by which you start to feel the effects. depending upon the type and method of consumption it can take several minutes or up to 1 hour to start feeling the effects. The amount of time it takes for the effects to kick in also depends on your metabolism. People with faster metabolisms may feel medicated after an hour, yet people with slower metabolisms may not feel the effects for two hours or more. - so...GO SLOW
Edibles are considerably more potent than smoking, Start off slow. take small doses and wait for it to take effect before taking more. even if you have smoked before and think you know, GO SLOW edibles are different.

The 10 Commandments of Edible Cannabis Safety:
1. Thou shalt go low and slow
Start with a low dose of 10 milligrams of THC and wait two hours before consuming any more cannabis. Your digestive system processes pot slowly, especially if you've already eaten a substantial meal. Once inside your liver, THC is converted into another chemical called 11-hydroxy-THC, which is actually more potent, explaining the intensity of an edibles high.
2. Thou shalt label homemade pot foods
If you prefer to create your own cannabis-infused foods at home, be sure to always label items to prevent accidental ingestion by a roommate, neighbor, friend, babysitter, house-guest, family member, etc.
3. Thou shalt not mix with alcohol
Combining edibles with alcohol should only be attempted by those who have mastered both substances. Smoking a jay while rocking a beer is a completely different vibe than scarfing a pot brownie when you're already wasted. Keep in mind that a few glasses of Chardonnay will magnify the effects of pot chocolate significantly, causing nausea and dizziness, aka "the spins."
4. Thou shalt eat a proper dinner
Edibles are much more intense when consumed on an empty stomach. Be sure to eat a solid, nutritious meal before taking your THC dose.
5. Thou shalt not drive or operate heavy machinery
Save the cannabis until you're at home, ready to relax and rejuvenate.
6. Thou shalt keep away from children
Store your edibles in a locking cabinet or box. At an appropriate age, educate any minors about the effects of edibles and make sure they understand these substances are for adult use only.
7. Thou shalt have unmedicated snacks on hand
Don't let yourself get too stoned from sheer hunger. If you're eating pot chocolate, keep some regular chocolate on hand if you need to taste more deliciousness.
8. Thou shalt keep CBD capsules on hand
CBD, another important cannabinoid with healing properties, is known for it's confounding effect on THC. Meaning that CBD can lessen the paranoid, panicky feelings that come on after ingesting too much THC. Keep some CBD-rich cannabis on hand for smoking, as well as high-CBD capsules, as antidotes that will take the edge off and return balance to your high.
9. Thou shalt remain calm
If you do happen to overindulge on pot-laden treats, remember that you will recover just fine. Retreat to a safe place where you can lay down, and most likely you will drift off to sleep for 10 or 12 hours. Upon waking, you will feel incredibly rested, if not a little groggy.
10. Thou shalt never prank!
Never prank people by giving them infused foods without their knowledge, as such actions are criminally irresponsible. Ingesting pot food without expecting its effects is scary and dangerous.
