Question: <\/b>How can I avoid a headache from taking edibles? I want to take edibles at a festival, but the last time I did, I woke up with a headache. \u00a0<\/span>I\u2019ve gotten the hang of taking edibles a few hours before I want them to actually kick in.\u00a0 That part is going fine, but the problem is the next morning\u2026I almost always wake up with a headache the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last time I took edibles, I woke up with a dull headache in the back of my head and behind my eyes, and I just felt a bit slower overall the next day at the festival. <\/span>Any tips for me?\u00a0 I wanna take an edible at another festival soon, but if I\u2019m going to always have a headache the next day, I might have to give up on edibles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cannabis Coach Haley’s Answer: <\/b>I love that you asked this question, and I\u2019d be glad to offer some pointers.\u00a0 I\u2019m also glad you brought this up now, at the start of summer, because many people try edibles for the first time in the summer when they\u2019re on vacation or get a few days off from work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you get the hang of it, edibles can be such a great summer alternative to drinking alcohol, and many people like the sociable aspect of showing up to a barbecue or summer party with a cannabis-infused snack or beverage. \u00a0<\/span>But we definitely don\u2019t want you to be waking up with a headache, especially if you\u2019re at a music festival!\u00a0 I\u2019ve got some ideas for you:<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn From the Past<\/b><\/h2>\n

When we\u2019re talking about \u201cedibles\u201d, it\u2019s important to remember that this term covers a wide variety of products<\/a>.\u00a0 For many people, the word \u201cedible\u201d will evoke an image of classic edibles, like a cannabis-infused cookie or brownie. But now in 2022, the options for an \u201cedible\u201d can be far-reaching \u2013 anything from a bag of cannabis-infused chips to a THC iced latte can be considered an edible!\u00a0 You might be surprised at all the options you\u2019ll find at the dispensary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any time I hear of a client having a bad experience with cannabis, it can be helpful to get into the nitty-gritty details of the experience, and then make an adjustment for next time.\u00a0 Think back to the last festival where you woke up with a headache:<\/span><\/p>\n
