"Consume with caution" is the best advice you can give people who want to try food with marijuana.
No matter if you are preparing cereal in the communal kitchen in the Dorm or buy a hemp Lollipop while on tour in Colorado, you never know for sure how much marijuana will now find itself in your body. A full-on grass come up on his only a few hours and shove will be long and hard.
The use of marijuana in food is a great way to get positive energy in public places or in a company that does not approve of "junkies".

It is also a preferred method of use for those who use marijuana for medical purposes, and those who do not like to smoke.

However, if you got edible marijuana, with a warning, five seconds spent on the reading of the composition, can mean the difference between a good trip and the worst nightmare in your life.
Serious manufacturers always test their products in laboratories and indicate on the label the contents of two important components: THC, a psychoactive compound of marijuana, and CBD, or CBD, a substance that "doesn't narrow head", but has a number of medicinal properties. The THC content is the indicator that can best tell you how high you will fly.

"Remind yourself that you are safe, and as your temporarily, writes David Smader (David Schmader) in his wonderful book "Grass: a user's Guide" - Surround yourself with things that are associated with security. (If it means lying in pajamas in bed, so be it)".
Drink water to avoid dehydration and eat something - preferably something which does not need to step up to the plate to raise their level of blood sugar. Call a friend and ask him to sit with you or, at worst, Google the stories about overdose other poor fellows, and maybe you will feel better.
