Dear Mary Jane

Start low and go slow. If using edibles, begin with 2.5-5mg THC and wait at least two hours. If inhaling, take 1-2 small puffs and wait. You can always take more — you cant take less.

THC is the compound that creates a “high.” CBD does not intoxicate and if often used for more calming effects. Most cannabis products contain a combination of both along with other cannabinoids and terpenes.

Edibles are processed through your liver, which changes the structure of THC and how it’s absorbed. This can make the effects feel stronger and last longer compared to smoking or vaping.

You might feel anxious, dizzy, or uncomfortable — but it will pass. Stay hydrated, find a calm space, and rest. The feeling is temporary.

Start with a low dose, choose a comfortable environment, and avoid mixing with alcohol. Understanding what to expect makes the experience much better.
