We all have been witnessing the ongoing pandemic situation and this why most of the cannabis users are inclining towards other smokeless options. And if you consult your medical marijuana doctor, even they might advise you against smoking or vaping cannabis in this current situation.
Edibles are a good choice in this case. And they are very accessible and convenient to use and handle and are potent enough to offer maximum effects. And the rapid increase in edible sales during the pandemic rightly proves their importance. But don’t forget that edibles should be used with caution in spite of the fact that they can be your preference in your medical use. And just like all other delivery methods, edibles too have certain safety protocols.
And since edibles work differently from the other delivery methods, you need to be aware of these tips which will be helpful in making your first time experience a safe and secure one.
On the basis of infusion, edibles are classified into Indica, Sativa, CBD, and Hybrid. And each of these is a cannabis variety, having their own collection of effects. So, it is important to select them accordingly.
A Sativa will uplift your mood and boost your energy levels, while an Indica will give a relaxing effect and its sedative properties will make you couch-locked. And if you want to experience the sweet spot of both these then hybrid is the perfect one for you. However, if you want to experience the therapeutic effects of cannabis without the high effect, then CBD is a good choice.
And once you figure out the one for you, then you can select between tinctures, food edibles, pills, beverages, or oils. Your selection will be totally dependent upon the effects you need.

Want your first stash to last for a longer time period? Well, for that you need to store them under correct storage conditions. Pills, chocolates, and gummies must be stored in a dark and cool place and in an airtight container. As moisture, air, and sunlight will reduce their shelf life and potency and will also produce mold on them. Whereas, steaks, brownies, and other perishable items must be refrigerated properly.
Edibles can be an overwhelming experience for you as a first-timer but they can even cause an intense high which will be intolerable at times. And being a beginner, you are not aware of the strong effects and the slow onset edibles produce. This is why overdoses generally happen. And this is the case especially for people who do not have patience in them. So, it’s good to not consume edibles more than your tolerance level. However, if you rather want quick relief, you can try other consumption methods. But don’t go rapidly with edibles otherwise you’ll end up overdosing yourself.
But, if you have overdosed yourself, then you must research well on how to sober up from the high effect. Also, you can also consult marijuana doctors for learning about the ways.
