Vancouver Coastal Health is sharing a few reminders for those munching on cannabis goodies for the first time.

With edibles now available through licensed dispensaries and more products expected throughout 2020,

“Because the psychoactive effects of cannabis are a little different and take longer to kick in when digested, people often make the mistake of taking additional doses. But once the effects kick in, they can find themselves dealing with unpleasant sensations and feeling more impaired than they expected to be.”Start small.If you’re new to edibles, it’s best to start with a small dose and see how your body responds before increasing the amount you eat.

Avoid too much and avoid mixing.Avoid eating too much cannabis, using strong extracts or mixing it with alcohol, as this can cause anxiety, vomiting and fainting for those unfamiliar with how their body will respond. Eating a meal before ingesting an edible can help moderate the intensity of any possible negative effects. In short, keep it simple until you know what to expect or what works for your system.
