How To Safely Ingest Marijuana Edibles vs Smoking Weed
Label all Marijuana Edibles, or store them in a safe place away from anyone but the ones partaking. DO leave your stove on or things that require your attention when on edibles. Medical Marijuana can do wonders for pain, it is why many MMJ Patients like myself prefer edibles as it last longer and you do not have to endure the coughing involved when ingesting an edible.
Marijuana Edibles are great for anyone with Chronic Pain, and insomnia. It will keep you pain free for a good few hours allowing you to sleep versus smoking or vaping marijuana which can last to half an hour to two hours depending on tolerance and strains potency. You will still experience the munchies effect when eat edibles so keep snacks on hand!
Good rule of thumb for edibles are to take less and increase the dosage as you progress. Remember You can always take more but you can't take less.
A good dosage for beginner is 10mg - 50mg and increase it by 25-50mg every 2-3 hours, Depending what extraction is use Hash oil extract edibles are the most potent and budder or cannaoil made from buds and trimming are usually less potent.
I would wait 3 hours to be completely safe, everyone's metabolism is different. Smoking and Edibles have different ways of entering your blood stream, when you Smoke, it goes directly to the head and you get that heavy head rush high normally associated with smoking. Edibles enter by digesting through your liver which creates a more Body stone perfect for anyone with chronic pain or just nothing to do for the rest of the day.
What I like to do is have my coconut canna oil on hand and I dip it with pretzels versus using it to bake food and not knowing how much mg is in each piece. I weigh out my Pretzels (comes out to 2.0g) on my scale, then put the canna oil and weigh it again with the oil on top so i can know the exact dosage of edibles I am taking. (pretzel + cannaoil comes out to 3.0g). That is the best way I found to know how much dosage of oil to take and to not Overdose on it. Keep in mind no one has ever died from a marijuana overdoes.
Multiple ways to smoke cannabis you have pipes, bongs, joints, steam rollers, and blunts.
Have you ever had a backwoods blunt?
Anyone that smokes blunts, know what Backwoods are, they are all natural tobacco leaves, not like the swisher sweets most people smoke blunts with, that is like cardboard. Backwoods can hold up to an Eighth of bud, vs swisher sweets about 1g. Backwoods may be a little harsher if done incorrectly but a properly rolled backwoods is nice and smooth. I only indulge in backwoods once in a while because Tobacco SUCKS! The only times I smoke blunts is if I am with friends because I really hate packing bowls after bowls for people, and most of my friends that smoke are beginner tokers. I prefer Glass on Glass Water Bongs, to smoke my flowers. The way you roll the backwoods is, you have to find the tip of the Tobacco leaves and peel it back and then empty it out, do not slit a cut down the middle like you would with a swisher sweet. Youtube is your best friend.
