Question 1

How much THC should a beginner take?

Accepted Answer

First-time consumers should start with 2.5mg THC for edibles or one small puff of flower. Wait at least 2 hours before taking more edibles, or 15 minutes for flower/vape. You can always take more, but you can't take less.

Question 2

How long do edibles take to kick in?

Accepted Answer

Edibles typically take 30-90 minutes to take effect, sometimes up to 2 hours. Effects peak at 2-4 hours and can last 6-8 hours total. Do NOT re-dose before the 2-hour mark.

Question 3

What should I do if I take too much THC?

Accepted Answer

Stay calm — no one has ever died from a cannabis overdose. Find a comfortable, safe place. Drink water. Chew on black peppercorns (they contain terpenes that can reduce anxiety). CBD can also help counteract THC effects. The feeling will pass in 1-4 hours.

Question 4

Does CBD affect my THC dosage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CBD can moderate THC effects. Products with balanced THC:CBD ratios (like 1:1) tend to produce milder psychoactive effects. If you're sensitive to THC, look for products with higher CBD content.
