Tips to consume cannabis cake responsibly
Consuming a cannabis sponge cake can be a very pleasant experience, as long as it is done responsibly. The effects of ingested cannabis are more potent and longer lasting than those of smoking, so it is important to take into account some aspects to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Start with a small portion
Although a sponge cake may seem harmless, the psychoactive effects of cannabis can be more intense than expected, especially if you are not used to it. It is best to start small and wait to see how your body reacts. A small dose allows you to enjoy yourself without taking unnecessary risks.
Wait the necessary time
Unlike smoking, when you consume cannabis in foods such as a pot pieThe effects take longer to appear. This happens because THC needs to be metabolized in the liver before reaching the bloodstream. This process can take between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
Don't make the mistake of ingesting more because "you don't feel anything at first." Be patient and wait for the effects to manifest.
Share with friends
The cannabis cooking is not only a personal experience, it can also be a great way to socialize. Sharing with friends makes the experience safer and more fun. Plus, you can take the opportunity to educate your peers about responsible consumption and enjoy the flavors of cannabis together.
