Gummies for Dummies: How-to dose for gummy noobs.
Short Answer: Start with a little bit, like 5 milligrams. Wait for 4 hours to see how you feel. If you don't feel just right, try adding 5 more milligrams next time. Remember, go slow and be patient.
Welcome, Adventurer!
You've embarked on a quest in the vast world of cannabis, with THC gummies as your chosen companion. But beware, for without proper guidance, one may easily have a bad experience. This will serve as your tutorial, ensuring your journey is both enjoyable and safe. Let's ensure you level up wisely and don't get stuck in the tutorial forever. That's not the adventure you seek, is it?
But first, you will need to select your level:
Level 0 - Introduction
Chill, it's ok to admit it. We all start at level 0. That's ok and if you want to stay here that's ok too. But for the curious, we must venture forth.
Before you can gain expertise in gummies, you must learn the art of dosing. Your character's traits (body weight, metabolism, and THC tolerance) influence how you process this powerful item. Remember, the mantra here is "start low and go slow." Begin your quest with a small dose; think of it as selecting the right gear before facing the boss.
If you remember this one tip you will do great:
Start low and go slow.
Level 1 - You don't know your dose
Quest Objective: Discover the Correct Dosage
Initial Dose: Start with a small amount of THC, 2.5 to 5 mg.
Observation Phase: Monitor the effects. THC gummies can be slow to reveal their power, taking 30 minutes to 2 hours. During this time you must collect 3 red apples and return.
Adjustment: Thanks for the apples. If that didn't do the trick, increase your dosage slightly by another 2.5 to 5 mg. But beware of doing so mid-adventure; patience is a virtue. Make sure to wait at least 4 hours between each quest, ideally the next day.
Repeat until you have found a dose that works best for YOU.
Level 2 - You know your dose
Tutorial Complete:
Congratulations, brave adventurer! You are now equipped with the knowledge to navigate the world of THC gummies safely. Remember, the path to mastering cannabis is a personal journey, filled with learning and discovery. Keep your wits about you, consult the ancient texts (or product labels), and seek out the wisdom of the elders (healthcare professionals) when in doubt.
Ignoring the Sage's Advice: Each gummy comes with wisdom from its creators (the dosage recommendations). Ignoring this can lead to perilous journeys.
Here is a little cheat sheet for you to remember:
The Edible Curse
Everybody is different and some people don't get affected by edibles at all. If that is you we are sorry. This is likely the end of the edible journey for you. All is not lost you can take solace in being a rare human hybrid. You may have at least one rare CPY2C9 genetic subtype that creates a special enzyme that processes THC so fast in your system that it does not produce any psychoactive effects.
At least that is what some smart people think at the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics. We also have known adventurers who would have hundreds of milligrams of THC and not feel anything.
But that's why we also have other goodies like our CBD joint packs.
FAQ : Wisdom of the Elders
How long until the effects manifest? The magic of THC gummies unfolds between 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Why does my companion need a different dose? Every adventurer is unique, with their own strengths and weaknesses. Thus, each requires a different amount.
What to do if you've encountered too much magic? Stay calm, drink water, and rest in your sanctuary. The effects will pass with time.
