As always, consult with a physician and forewarn your guests before consuming cannabis. Remember that edibles can take 1-2 hours to take full effect. We heavily advise that you and your guests start off slow and have patience as the psychoactive properties proceed to emerge. Should you find yourself having a rough time, check out some of these tips to help combat the intensity and try to relax with your best efforts. Practice common sense and do not attempt to operate heavy machinery while under the influence of cannabis. Please keep in mind that the effects of THC edibles will last several hours. Enjoy your bliss!
