Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with a low dose ( THC) to gauge your tolerance, especially if you are a beginner.
Be Patient: Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours (or longer) to kick in, with peak effects around 4 hours. Do not consume more if you do not feel it immediately.
Secure Storage: Store products in their original, childproof packaging, clearly labeled, and out of reach of children and pets.
