DANGERS OF EDIBLES

Cannabis edibles are becoming increasingly popular as more and more states legalize marijuana, but it’s important to be aware of the potential dangers associated with consuming edibles. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the dangers of edibles and how to consume them safely.

One of the biggest dangers of edibles is overconsumption. The effects of edibles can take longer to be felt than smoking or vaping, and it can be easy to consume too much, leading to an overwhelming high. This can cause a range of unpleasant symptoms such as anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations. It’s important to start with a low dose and wait for the effects to kick in before consuming more.

Another potential danger of edibles is that the onset time can vary depending on several factors such as your metabolism, the last time you ate, and the dose. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to be felt, so it’s important to be patient and not consume more until you know how the initial dose affects you.

Another potential danger is that edibles can be accidentally consumed by children or pets, which can lead to serious health problems. It’s crucial to keep edibles out of reach of children and pets, and to store them in a secure location, such as a locked cabinet or pantry.
