The benefits of using edibles are that they do not require and smoke inhalation, and are a discrete option for regular indulgers. Now, a lot of people are still nervous to take edibles because of the many horror stories they have heard or been a part of themselves. People make one common mistake- do not take more if you are not feeling it yet! The most common form of edibles is baked goods, so whatever it may be, split it into bite-sized pieces and only take one. I repeat, only take one. If it seems it is not working in a couple of hours, keep waiting! Most of the time the body high starts to hit you as soon as you decide to eat that second piece and before you know it its too late to turn back and a wave of panic comes over you.

Now, this is not how it needs to be as long as you take small amounts and stick to it. If you are curious to make your own oils and/or add it to whatever you may be cooking or baking, you should definitely look up appropriate recipes and dosing amounts in order to not overdo it. If you choose that edibles are the right fit for you, ensure you do not have to operate motor vehicles for the rest of the day as the high can last anywhere from 4-6 hours or even longer, depends on the individual.
