As the largest cannabis holiday approaches, events and sales galore. How to shop and consume safely to have the best HIGH mindedness. Women tend to use cannabis for its potential benefits for relaxation, creativity, and wellness.
However, like any substance, cannabis should be consumed responsibly. Here are some tips to enjoy cannabis safely:
- Choose Quality Products: Opt for products from reputable sources such as dispensaries. My fave in Sonoma County is Jane Dispensary. Look for lab-tested cannabis products to ensure potency and purity. Whether it's flower, edibles, or concentrates, quality matters for both safety and enjoyment. Amazon isn't going to be the best place to shop for THC.
- Know Your Limits: Start low and go slow. If you're new to cannabis or trying a new product, begin with a small dose (<2MG THC edibles OR <35%TCH Flower) and gradually increase as needed. Understanding your tolerance levels is key to preventing overconsumption. As an avid consumer, my tolerance is quite high at 200 MG of edibles and really no limit on flower. Every BODY is different and metabolizes at different rates. TIP: Think of doses as amount of drinks, higher the dose the more shots of vodka power it had behind it.
- Mindful Consumption: Create a comfortable environment for consumption. Consider factors like mood, setting, and company to enhance your experience. Mindful consumption can amplify the positive effects while reducing the risk of negative outcomes.
- Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart: Cannabis can cause dry mouth and increased appetite. Keep water nearby to stay hydrated and snacks to satisfy cravings. TIP: If a HIGH is ever too much - Snack on some sour candies OR smell Black Pepper from your spice cabinet. These will help bring you down quickly.
- Avoid Mixing with Alcohol or Other Substances: Mixing cannabis with alcohol or other substances can amplify their effects and increase the risk of adverse reactions. It's best to enjoy cannabis on its own and avoid combining it with other intoxicants. We all think we want to get cross faded but trust me it is not always the best idea!
- Respect Your Boundaries: Cannabis affects everyone differently. Listen to your body and mind. If you ever feel uncomfortable or experience adverse effects, don't hesitate to stop consuming and seek support if needed.
- Store Safely: Keep cannabis products out of reach of children and pets. Store them in a secure place to prevent accidental ingestion. Proper storage also helps maintain freshness and potency.
- Community: Engage with other women in the cannabis community for support, advice, and shared experiences. Building a supportive network can empower you to make informed choices and enjoy cannabis safely.
A key crucial part is missing, the FUN! By following these tips, you too can enjoy cannabis consumption.
Remember, moderation, education, and mindfulness are key to unlocking the benefits of cannabis while prioritizing safety and well-being.
