A Beginner’s Guide to THC Dosing and Mitigating Overconsumption

Minnesota, as you may be aware, has recently been added to the list of states that have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. This opens up a new world of possibilities for both the canna-curious and enthusiasts.

Hemp-derived THC products, like those offered by DRIP, are the fastest, easiest way to experience THC benefits today. Hemp-derived products containing THC, such as those sold by DRIP, provide the same effects as cannabis-derived products and should be used cautiously.

It's important to understand how THC works in these products and how you can use it safely and responsibly, especially if this is your first time using cannabis. You may be eager for THC to be consumed, but you should be mindful of your limits and approach it with caution.

This guide will take you through the basics of THC. It will cover proper dosage, how to control your consumption, and what to do when you consume too much. We want to ensure that your journey into the world of THC is filled with discovery, fun, and safety.

Welcome to the new age of cannabis consumption and responsible use. Let's get started!

What is THC?

Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It's responsible for the "high."

It can be found in various amounts in products derived from hemp, and it can provide relaxation, euphoria, and other mood-enhancing benefits. It is important to use the correct dosage to enjoy these benefits and avoid any negative side effects.

Understanding Proper THC Dosing

Finding your "sweet spot," or the THC level that you respond to best, can take some trial and error. Cannabis edibles are available in many forms, and their THC and CBD content can vary. Read the labels of edibles carefully to ensure you understand the amount of THC and the serving size. Here's how to approach it:

Start small: When you are new to THC use, begin with a low dose and increase it gradually over time. This allows you to understand how your body reacts to THC. Beginners should start with 1-2mg and not exceed 2.5mg at a time.

Take your time: Give yourself a reasonable gap between doses. THC edibles are slower to produce effects than smoking or vaping marijuana. The effects of THC edibles can last for up to 12 hours.

Be responsible and note your responses: Pay attention to the effects of different dosages. Keep a journal to help you find the right dosage for relaxation and euphoria without going too far. Plan ahead for travel or staying overnight if you are using THC edibles with a friend. Do NOT drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming THC edibles.

What to do if you become too intoxicated?

There are a few things you can do to avoid discomfort:

Stay hydrated: Dehydration may exacerbate THC's effects, so drink lots of water. Staying hydrated may help you metabolize THC better and alleviate symptoms associated with overconsumption. Eating can also alleviate that feeling.

Find a safe space: If you feel overly intoxicated, sit or lay down in a familiar and comfortable area. This can help you manage feelings of anxiety and disorientation.

Bring a trusted friend: If you're a first-time user, it is best to have a friend with whom you can share your experience. They can offer reassurance and help if you get too high.

CBD for the rescue: Cannabidiol can counteract the psychoactive effects of THC. Consuming a product will help you reduce the intensity of your high feelings.

These steps will help you navigate THC safely. To have a positive THC experience, consume responsibly and moderately.
