Dosing Edibles

all about Edibles

Cannabis edibles are food items that contain cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which are the active ingredients in cannabis. Edibles can come in many different forms, including candy, cookies, brownies, and cakes.

When consuming edibles, it is important to start with a low dose and increase gradually as needed. The effects of edibles can take up to two hours to kick in (depending on the edible) so it is important to be patient. Several factors can affect the experience, including:
bodyweight, metabolism, time since your last meal, gender, and the ingredients.

    • Set the mood before you enjoy your edible to maximize your enjoyment
    • Avoid eating more than 2 servings if it’s your first time with edibles

    How to deal with overconsumption

    Overconsumption is the unpleasant feeling you get when you eat too many edibles. While 
    it is unpleasant, it is not dangerous and causes no lasting harm.

    Overconsumption is best avoided, but here’s how you deal with it:

    1. Take a dose of CBD (edibles, oils, etc.) about four-times greater than the amount of THC you consumed

    2. Chew or sniff peppercorns, they have relaxing terpenes that can calm you down

    3. Sniff pine essential oil, they have terpenes that will help you focus and ground you

    4. Drink lots of water; THC overconsumption can dehydrate you

    5. Call a friend or loved one for company; their presence will help calm you

    6. Take a walk if you feel up to it

    7. Try to sleep it off
