Oh hey, gorgeous, welcome. Curious about what to expect when taking your first edible, huh? You’ve come to the right place.

Taking a cannabis-infused edible is a unique experience that can vary greatly from person to person, from occasion to occasion. The effects of edibles can range a great deal and a variety of factors will have an influence – your mood, how much/recently you ate, your body chemistry, the list goes on and on. Super helpful non-answer, right? Sorry, but it’s the truth. Keep reading…

For many people, the experience of taking a cannabis edible begins with a sense of anticipation. Unlike smoking or vaping cannabis, edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to take effect, leading to a gradual onset of the high. Now don’t go eating another edible because you don’t think it’ll hit you, just give it time. Trust us!

As the edible kicks in, colors can become more vibrant, sounds more immersive, and laughter more infectious. Giggles can be a very common side effect. For most people, it’s a euphoric experience, a feeling of warmth and relaxation that takes over, leaving you feeling really calm.

For some users, the effects of edibles feel overwhelming and anxiety-inducing, with feelings of paranoia or confusion. If you’re really sensitive to THC, this may be the case so it’s always best to start off with a really low dose to see how you react.

Physically, you might feel a dryness in your mouth, a heaviness in your limbs, or a quickening of your heartbeat. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but they can be concerning for users who are unprepared for them.

Overall, the experience of taking a cannabis edible is a deeply subjective one that depends on a variety of factors, including the individual’s tolerance, mindset, and environment. While many people find edibles to be a relaxing and enjoyable way to unwind, others may experience discomfort and anxiety. It’s important for anyone starting out to begin with a low dose, be mindful of their surroundings, and remember – the experience won’t last forever. Enjoy! 🌿
