What Are Weed Pretzels?
Weed pretzels are just like regular pretzels, but they have cannabis extract in them. This extract has THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is what gives you the "high" feeling.
How Much to Eat?
For your first time, start small and go slow. Most people say start with a small dose, like 2.5mg of THC. Always check the package for the amount of THC. Some pretzels come pre-dosed, and you might need to break others into smaller pieces.
Here’s a simple guide:
- 1-2.5 mg THC: You might feel a little relaxed, happy, and maybe some pain relief.
- 2.5-5 mg THC: You will feel more relaxed, happy, and may get the munchies.
- 5-10 mg THC: You'll feel a strong sense of happiness, your senses might feel different, and you may feel anxious.
- 10+ mg THC: This can be very strong, and it is not recommended for beginners.
The Waiting Game: When Will You Feel It?
Edibles take longer to work than smoking or vaping. You might not feel anything for 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating one.
Think of it this way:
- Smoking: The effects come on quickly but don't last as long.
- Edibles: They take longer to start but the effects last longer.
The high from an edible can last 4 to 8 hours, or even longer. It depends on how much you take and how fast your body processes it. So, plan your time carefully and don’t take them when you need to be alert.
Setting the Mood
Your surroundings matter a lot when you're trying edibles for the first time. Choose a place where you feel relaxed, safe, and comfortable, like your living room or a friend’s place.
Think about having:
- Comfy places to sit and blankets
- Your favorite music or movie
- Lots of water
- Yummy (but not infused!) snacks
- A chill, positive vibe
Safety First
For a fun and safe experience, remember these tips:
- Buy from legal shops: This means the product is safe and the label is correct.
- Read the label: So you know how much you are eating and what else is in it.
- Don’t mix: Don’t mix with alcohol or other drugs – they don’t mix well.
- Stay hydrated: Drink lots of water so you don’t get a dry mouth.
- Safe Place: Use in a safe space so you feel relaxed.
- No Driving: Don’t drive or use machines when you’re feeling the effects.
- Know your Limits: Start with a small amount and take it slow to avoid eating too much.
What if Things Feel Too Strong?
If you feel like you took too much, don’t worry! It will pass.
Here’s what you can do:
- Go to a quiet place and relax.
- Take deep, slow breaths.
- Talk to your friend if they're with you.
- Listen to calming music or drink some water.
- If you have some, a tiny bit of CBD can help.
- If you are worried or feel sick, go to a doctor or hospital.
