What is edibiles
"Edibles" refer to food products that contain cannabis or its active compounds, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol). These products can take many forms, such as baked goods, chocolates, gummies, and other types of candies. Edibles can provide a more discreet, less scary and convenient way of consuming cannabis compared to smoking or vaping, and they may also have longer-lasting effects. However, it is important to consume edibles responsibly and in moderation, as they can have a stronger and more delayed effect compared to other forms of cannabis consumption. It is also important to be aware of the dosage and potency of edibles, as consuming too much can lead to unpleasant side effects.
Can I overdose on edibiles
Yes, it is possible to overdose on edibles that contain cannabis or its active compounds. Consuming too much THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the main psychoactive component in cannabis, can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as anxiety, paranoia, rapid heart rate, and hallucinations. In very rare cases, it can even lead to more severe symptoms such as acute psychosis or cardiac problems.
The risk of overdose is higher with edibles compared to other forms of cannabis consumption because the effects can take longer to onset and can be more unpredictable. It normally takes 45 min and in some cases up to two hours for the effects of edibles to be felt, and some people may consume more in that time period, thinking that the edibles are not working.
Use edibiles responsibly.
