Edibles: A How-To Guide

By now, I'm sure you've heard the wonderful news: UEM Victoria will now be offering edibles to its members online. Although, we're very excited that our members across Canada will have access to their medicine, it dawned on us that a little safety reminder when it comes to edibles is never a bad thing.

Here are few rules to adhere by when consuming any edibles.

1.When it comes to edibles, ALWAYS read the label to see the recommended dosage

You've been consuming cannabis for years and therefore you think you know everything there is to know about edibles; however, tolerance through smoking/vaporizing doesn't always translate to a tolerance for edibles. Your budtender should always explain to you how to consume any edibles you purchase. Should he/she forget, read the label to see what the dosage and the THC content. If you're unaware of the amount of THC, ask your trusted budtender.

2. Medicate and Wait

10 mg is the standard dose of THC, but when it's digested in the liver, it is converted to a stronger form of THC that gives double the effects in comparison to smoking. Where the effects are felt immediately when smoking, it can take between 30 to 60 minutes to feel the effect with edibles, and can last between 4-12 hours.

3.Paranoia is just around the corner

Some of us may be a little overzealous when it comes to edibles, this why we're gonna let you in on a little secret: CBD capsules! You've had too much and now you're feeling the paranoia and panicky feelings coming on. Take a CBD capsule. CBD counteracts the effects of THC and will help dissipate the paranoid feelings. We recommend purchasing them whenever you purchase any edibles.

Edibles are a great way to medicate, especially for those who choose not to smoke or vape. Edibles also provide a great way to manage pain for a lengthy period of time. Just like any medication, make sure you read the labels and that you use them responsibly.
