Tips
- Always air on the side of caution when portioning your edibles. Because of the way they’re made, edibles are much harder to accurately dose (as opposed to inhaled marijuana). A normal “serving” of an edible, like a single cupcake or cookie, could actually have more than the recommended 10 mg dose of marijuana. Here’s a THC calculator that may help you get a better grasp on dosages.Thanks
- Some weed enthusiasts claim that detox pills can help you feel better after having an edible. Always talk to your doctor before using these types of pills to make sure that they don’t negatively interfere with your medications.Thanks

Warnings
- While THC (the psychoactive component in marijuana) overdoses aren’t usually dangerous, they can still be extremely scary and disorienting. If you start experiencing severe symptoms like major fear and anxiety, heart stress, delusions, and/or vomiting, call emergency services right away.Thanks
- Always store your edibles safely, especially if you live around children and pets. Edibles often look like appealing treats, so they might be eaten by an unsuspecting person. Make sure that your edibles are locked up and well-hidden so only you can access them. [33] X Research sourceThanks
