Okay, you smoke weed to get high but not so high that you start pondering the meaning of life while staring at a cereal box. How much THC to get high? Will 10mg of THC make you chill out and happy in your own thoughts, or will you start throwing out random phrases sounding like ‘wisdom’?
What is the recommended THC dosage for an enjoyable high?
There is no single answer to this question. It depends on a lot of factors.
When you are 19 or older, you are legally allowed to buy cannabis in Brandon.
What Factors Affect THC Dosage?
The intensity, onset, and duration of the high you get with a THC dosage depends on the following factors:
Tolerance Level
The body of a regular user develops tolerance. So, a stoner needs a high dosage to feel that chill vibe. If you are a beginner or an occasional user, you need only a small amount to elevate your mood.
Body Weight and Metabolism
How THC hits you also depends on your body weight and metabolism. The effects will stick around if you have more body fat. A fast metabolism will feel it real quick, and it will fade out fast.
Method Of Consumption
When you are smoking or vaping, it’s super quick (just a couple of minutes) and lasts a few hours. Edibles kick in between 30 minutes to 2 hours and last 4 to 8 hours or so. Just swallow or put tinctures or oils under your tongue and wait for 15 minutes. Once it hits, it lasts 4 to 6 hours.
Strain
Even a small dose of strains with a THC content of 20% or more feels intense. You get a more controlled experience with a strain with THC content between 5% to 10%.
Food Intake and Hydration
Be ready for an intense ride after you consume edibles while your stomach is empty. It hits faster and harder. THC absorption is slow when you consume it after a meal. So, it takes time to hit, but you get a steady and prolonged experience. Prepare for some not-so-fun effects such as dry mouth and dizziness if you are not hydrated.
Bad Weed
You end up buying bad weed when you buy from an unauthorized weed seller in Brandon.
Ladies, take it easy. Start with a lower dose as your body will react differently. You may not be ready for a harder and longer hit.
Can You Overdose on Weed?
THC overdose is not fatal. However, consuming too much can lead to uncomfortable effects such as:
- Dry mouth
- Confusion
- Reduced reaction time
- Concentration problems
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Lethargy or fatigue
- Dry eyes
- Anxiety
- Increased heart rate
- Hallucinations
- Nausea and vomiting
- Panic attacks
These unpleasant symptoms typically wear off within a few hours. However, if you have consumed edibles, the effects may last longer due to slower absorption.
What to Do if You Have A Marijuana Overdose?
Stay Calm
You might find the hit intense, but it is not fatal. So, stay calm.
Find a Comfortable Spot
Find a calm and comfortable place where you feel safe and sit or lie down. Don’t even think about visiting Kickin’ Axe Throwing, Brandon.
Hydrate
Drinking water will make you feel better and help with dry mouth.
Eat Something
If you are feeling lightheaded or nauseous, have a light snack.
Breathe Slowly
Slow, deep breathing provides relief from anxiety and panic attacks. This will help you regain control.
If symptoms persist, call a friend.
