Your personal experience with cannabis will always be an important factor when it comes to trying out the herb in a different form. If you have little to no experience it’s best to play it safe and start out slowly.

Be Patient

Edibles affect people much slower than smoking cannabis does, which is the main thing that throws first time users off. Be prepared to wait at least 45 minutes before you start feeling the effects of the edible. If you still feel nothing, then you can take a little more. It’s way better to be patient and wait than to get anxious and eat more than you need resulting in a bad high. 

What To Do If You Get Too High

Edibles’ high last longer than regular ones, which means that a bad high will probably be harder to deal with. The main suggestion is to be relaxed and to be aware that nothing bad is actually happening, it’s just an uncomfortable yet temporary feeling. If you’re alone try to be calm and if you’re with others let them know that you’re having a bad time and that they need to pay closer attention to you.
