Understanding THC Doses
THC doses vary greatly in edibles. Begin with a low dose, like 5mg or 10mg, and be aware that edibles can take 1-2 hours to kick in. This is much longer than the immediate effect of smoking.
Signs of Overconsumption
- Disorientation
- Severe dizziness
- Increased heart rate
Immediate symptoms of overconsumption include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and disorientation. If you experience these, sit or lie down and wait for the effects to subside. Never drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming edibles.
