As you may know, Minnesota has recently joined the list of states legalizing the recreational use of cannabis, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for enthusiasts and the canna-curious alike.
However, with legal dispensaries not set to open until next year, hemp-derived products offer the quickest, most accessible route to explore and experience the benefits of THC today. Hemp-derived THC products, like those offered by Simply Crafted, provide the same effects as cannabis-derived THC, and should be used with some caution.
Understanding how THC functions in these products and how to use it responsibly and safely is essential, particularly if you're new to the cannabis scene. While you may be eager to delve fully into THC, please remember that consumption should always be approached with mindfulness and respect for your limits.
This guide will walk you through the basics of THC, including proper dosing, how to manage your consumption, and what to do if you become too intoxicated. We're here to ensure your journey into the world of THC is one of discovery, enjoyment, and, above all, safety.
Welcome to a new era of cannabis and responsible consumption. So, let's dive right in!
What is THC?
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the "high" sensation.
It's found in varying amounts in hemp-derived products and can offer relaxation, euphoria, and other mood-enhancing effects. However, proper dosing is crucial to ensure you enjoy these benefits without adverse side effects.
Understanding Proper THC Dosing
Everyone's reaction to THC varies, and finding your personal "sweet spot" can be a process of trial and error. Cannabis edibles come in many different forms and can vary widely, including how much THC and CBD they contain. When taking edibles, you should always read the label carefully and be sure you know the serving size for a dose, and how much THC each serving contains. Here's how you can approach it:
Start Small: If you're new to THC, start with a small dose and gradually increase it over time. This cautious approach allows your body to adapt and gives you a clear understanding of how it reacts to THC. New users should begin with 1-2mg of THC, and should not exceed 2.5mg THC at one time.
Take Your Time: Allow a reasonable interval between doses. Unlike smoking or vaping cannabis, the effects of THC edibles take time to kick in. It can take up to two hours for your body to fully absorb the THC from an edible, and the effects can last up to 12 hours. Waiting will give your body a chance to respond fully before taking more.
Note Your Responses and Be Responsible: Pay attention to how different dosages effect you. Keeping a log can help you identify the perfect dosage that offers relaxation and euphoria without going overboard. If you plan on using THC edibles at a friend's house, you should make travel arrangements ahead of time or plan to stay the night. Do not drive or operate heavy equipment after using THC edibles.
What To Do If You Become Too Intoxicated?
Overconsumption of THC can lead to discomfort and disorientation, but there are several steps you can take to manage this situation:
Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can exacerbate the effects of THC, so ensure you drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated can help your body metabolize THC more effectively and may help alleviate some symptoms of overconsumption. Food may also help alleviate the undesired feeling.
Find a Safe Space: If you're feeling overly intoxicated, try to sit or lie down in a comfortable, familiar setting. This can help manage feelings of anxiety or disorientation.
Have a Trusted Companion: If possible, have a trusted friend present when experimenting with THC, especially if it's your first time. They can provide reassurance and support if you become too high.
CBD to the Rescue: Cannabidiol (CBD) can help counterbalance the psychoactive effects of THC. If you feel too high, consuming a CBD product can help reduce the intensity of these sensations.
Taking these steps can help you safely navigate your experience with THC. Remember, though, that the key to a positive experience is consuming responsibly and in moderation.
