Edibles
These five tips will help you to navigate through a difficult situation.

This is the time of year where everyone gathers to share their gratitude with those they care about and lots of delicious food. If you are planning to spend Thanksgiving at home, or with extended family members, for a large feast, or hosting a Friendsgiving party, it is important to understand how to properly handle food so that everyone can have a good time.
You should think about a couple of things before committing to your plan. Are you planning to arrive early or late? You can either eat as much of the edibles you want to last for a long time or you can consume them in smaller amounts to ensure you are well lit all through your celebration. Details are up to you. However, there are some basic guidelines that can help you get through your meal and day.
Don’t Overdo It
Although you might have a usual amount of THC that hits the spot when you’re eating edibles, you should plan to have a little less than normal on days when you might need to have more of your wits about you. Even if you have a long car ride ahead of you or know that you will be sitting around for a few hours until the food is finished, don’t go overboard or you most likely end up sleeping through the festivities.
Allow yourself a moment
Depending on when you eat your edibles, it may take a little longer than usual for you to feel the effects of them — particularly if you choose to eat them during (like with these recipes) or after you get nice and full. In that case, you may need to wait a bit longer to get the same effects you are used to. If you can resist eating more, then it will work.
The One Thing at a Time
You can enjoy your edibles only until the end of the party or when you get home. Take it slow. It’s tempting to take a vape, or dab, with a favorite cousin. You should also make your wine or spirit choice before you consume it.
You should always have a backup plan
Even the most experienced of people can get higher than they intended after eating a tasty. There are some things that can be done to help you keep calm and get back to normal. To start, CBD can help you calm yourself down. If things don’t settle, you can follow some of these tips for what to do if you get too high, which include finding an entertaining distraction, going for a stroll or just taking a nap.
Stay with What You Know
It’s true that special occasions call for special snacks, but to stay safe, it is best to choose a snack you are familiar with. It’s not worth taking a chance with a brand you’re unfamiliar with, especially if it uses an oil or strain that you’re not used to. You will need to wait until you are in a relaxed environment to see what the new spicy nut mixture or soda does to you.
