Cannabis Dosing?
Your experience with cannabis will more than likely be different from other users. This difference is due to factors such as body weight, unique body chemistry, tolerance, variations in products, the sensation you're looking to experience, and method of consumption.
Because of these differences, we recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the potency as desired. The "start low & go slow" recommendation enables you to enjoy your experience and ultimately allows for a safe and effective session.
This guide will help to demystify the world of cannabis consumption for both new and experienced users.
Smoking or Vaping
The inhalation of cannabis by smoking dried flowers in a paper, pipe, or electronic vaporizer. This is the fastest method for getting cannabis into your system.
Tinctures
Oral tinctures taken under the tongue provide fast relief but do will not last as long as other methods of oral ingestion. Oral tinctures can be used more frequently.
Topicals
Certain parts of the body have limited blood circulation or none at all. When inflamed, these parts of the body receive no benefit from oral ingestion, smoking, or vaping. Topical applications allow cannabinoids to absorb through the skin to reach areas such as the outermost layer of skin, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments,
Dabbing
Dabbing describes the process of heating concentrated cannabis while inhaling the vaporized oil.
Edibles & Oils
Ingesting oils in food or beverages takes longer to activate within the body but provides the longest-lasting effects. Dosing should be monitored closely to ensure consumption is well within the appropriate range of your tolerance.
Best Dosage for Edibles?
When using edibles for the first time, start with low dosages and give yourself enough time to let them take effect. Many users become impatient, complaining "they don't feel anything" and then decide to take another dose before the first has had a chance to take effect.
Can I Overdose on Edibles?
THC-a overdoses can occur, although its extremely unlikely to result in serious problems for adults users. Most users report very uncomfortable experiences which may include extreme sedation, dizziness & nausea, panic or fear, poor cognitive functioning, motor impairment & hallucinations.
What should I do if I take too many Edibles?
For the most part, cannabis toxicity will improve over time without the need for medical intervention. Unlike opioids, a cannabis overdose is not fatal. Most users can stay home in a safe, calm environment and wait for the body to metabolize the cannabis. If you need someone to "talk you down," users can also call the Too High Hotline (323-518-2728) and speak with a non-medical team trained who are trained to help users get back to a state of calm and clarity. It is important to understand that this service is not meant for medical emergencies. At any time if a user believes they are experiencing a medical emergency, seek care at your nearest emergency room or call 911.
