3 Tips For Your First Time Using Cannabis Infused Gummies

Has your state recently made marijuana legal? Thinking about trying it for the first time? Gummies are a great way to dip your toes into cannabis. Gummies are tasty edibles that are similar to gummy candies like gummy bears and gummy worms. The difference is that cannabis gummies are infused with marijuana. Gummies are popular because they don't involve rolling a joint, smoking from a pipe, or other forms of use that you may find unpleasant. With a gummy, you simply eat it and wait for the effects to kick in. Below are a few tips to help you enjoy your first time with cannabis-infused gummies.

Start small.

Everyone's body is different in how it reacts to cannabis. If you've never used cannabis before, you can't be sure how you will react to it. That's why it's wise to start with a very small dosage. When you purchase your gummies, the dosage will be clearly labeled. Cannabis is infused in milligrams. As a first-time user, you'll want to start with only a few milligrams for your first bite. Then after the experience, you can gauge how you felt and decide whether to try more the next time. Ideally, find a dosage that works well for you and stick to it. 

Be patient.

It takes time for the effects of cannabis to kick in with edibles. You don't take a bite and immediately feel it. It can take up to an hour for the cannabis to work its way into your system and start having an effect. People often make the mistake of being impatient. They don't feel anything for 30 minutes or so and assume that they didn't eat enough of the gummy. They then eat more. Of course, the issue happens when the full effect of both bites kicks in and the experience is too intense. Be patient and resist the urge to take a second bite. Once you become experienced with cannabis, you'll better understand your tolerance and you'll know the right amount to eat.

Choose the right kind.

There are different types of cannabis gummies, and the different types have different effects. For instance, sativa gummies usually produce more of a high. You may feel elevated and more energetic. Indica gummies produce a more relaxed feeling. They're often used to help with sleep or reduce pain. There are also hybrids that have a bit of each type. Talk to someone at your cannabis store and discuss what you're looking to achieve with the gummies. They can help you find the right kind for your needs.
