1. Start low, go slow. Always. Even experienced users when trying new format/strain. 2. Wait the full peak window before redosing. 90 min edibles, 30 min inhaled. 3. Don’t mix with alcohol. Especially first sessions. 4. Don’t drive. Even after the peak fades.

Cannabis overdose isn’t fatal but it can be deeply unpleasant. Call 911 if: chest pain or pressure, severe vomiting, fainting, racing heart at extreme rate, signs of cardiac event. For an uncomfortable but non-life-threatening over-consumption: hydrate, eat starchy snack, find calm space, consider CBD tincture (modulates high-THC reaction). Effects fade over 4-8 hours total.
Cannabis (particularly CBD) can affect how some prescription medications metabolize through the liver — blood thinners (warfarin), seizure meds, some antidepressants, some chemotherapy drugs. Consult your healthcare provider before adding cannabis or CBD if you take prescription medications.
