Things You Should Know Before Buying Cannabis Edibles

Thanks to the decriminalization of marijuana across several states, stoners can now enjoy cannabis in various forms. If you didn't know, you could smoke marijuana, inhaling it through dabbing, or even consume edibles if you prefer the smokeless option. Cannabis edibles are becoming popular because you don't need to deal with smoke, and you can control the CBD and THC levels in your products.

Edibles are popular, which also makes it hard for stoners to separate quality and fake products. Whether you're a pro-stoner or beginner, you can get duped into purchasing the wrong product. With that said, below are some factors you should consider before spending your money on cannabis edibles.

Be aware of the dosages

Cannabis edibles and other marijuana products are considered safer compared to alcohol, tobacco, and the rest. However, it is still possible for you to experience a bad trip from cannabis products. Experiencing a bad trip is often a result of taking the wrong dosage.

Dosage means the correct THC and CBD level. These two compounds contribute to the sensation you get from consuming an edible. The dosage can range anywhere between 1mg to 100mg. Therefore, if you're looking for a mild experience or you have a low tolerance for marijuana, go for the lower mg levels. Anything between 1mg to 5mg can get you reasonably high. But if you're a pro, then a higher mg is perfect. However, keep in mind that going beyond 30mg might cause a bad trip.

Smoking isn't the same as eating

Cannabis edibles seem like a fun and convenient way to consume your daily cannabis intake. It is all this and more, but the only difference is you might not feel the effects immediately. When you smoke a blunt, it only takes a few seconds for you to get high and mellow down, but when it comes to edibles, you might need to exercise a little patience.

Don't consume too much to get high immediately. When it finally hits, you might experience a bad trip. Take your time to learn about cannabis edibles and know how they work.

Don't mix cannabis edibles with alcohol

Although most people do it, it is not advisable to mix cannabis edibles with alcohol. Edibles already have a significant level of THC, which gets you high in minutes. Therefore, mixing alcohol can ramp up the effects of the THC ingredients leading to a bad trip or awful side effects.

Extensive research on the long-term effects isn't available, but it is better to use the two separately for a better experience. Furthermore, how will you know your mg level and how your body reacts to cannabis edibles if you mix the two?

Buy your edibles from a reliable manufacturer

Like every other drug, you can get addicted to marijuana. Cannabis edibles come in the form of snacks, which makes it worse. You can buy brownies, cookies, gummies, lollipops, and a lot more edibles. Therefore, to avoid using an edible with a higher THC level than indicated on the packaging, you need to purchase your edibles from a reliable manufacturer.

You can visit various cannabis dispensaries for an array of edible options. For example, Motor City has stoked its cannabis in multiple dispensaries across the country to allow access to consumers.

Above all, don’t forget to store your edibles correctly and keep them away from children. You don’t want your child consuming the wrong brownie. When you are ready, you can stock as many snacks as you want and relax.
