Healing Begins Here.
Edible marijuana products, or "medibles", are becoming more common. Read below to learn more.
Effects
The effects of edible marijuana take longer to feel than when it is smoked. This is because inhaled marijuana goes from your lungs into your bloodstream and brain very quickly.
Edible marijuana has to be digested first. As each person's metabolism is different, it is hard to know how soon and how strongly you will feel the effects of the medication, or how long those effects will last.
It can be easy to overdo it
One bite of a medicated product could have an entire dose, but many eat the whole cookie because they do not know this - and it's hard to put down a tasty treat halfway through!
Some people may expect to feel the effects sooner and mistakenly think they need to eat more.
Overdosing can be severe
A marijuana overdose can cause confusion, impaired ability to perform tasks, and increased heart rates.
It can also cause extreme anxiety or panic this can be so bad that patients end up going to the emergency room.
Edible Marijuana Safety Tips
-
Never give an edible to someone without telling him or her.
It is never funny to prank another person in this way. It may cause real harm.
Even if marijuana is legal for use in your state, it is not legal to share with parties under 21.
-
Children may confuse edible marijuana products with food.
Edible marijuana should not be used around children.
Like other medicines, keep edibles safely out of reach of children. If a child ingests marijuana, call 911. Be honest. Doctors will be better able to treat the child if they know what happened, and how much they have eaten.
-
Using marijuana together with alochol can be risky.
Combining alcohol and marijuana at the same time can cause nausea and dizziness. It is also likely to cause greater impairment than using one alone.
