Knowing Your Limits: Why You Should Ease Into THC

While it can be a pretty exciting experience, don’t rush your experience with THC. The experience will be similar to doing a full body workout for the first time – it’s going to be overwhelming. So don’t rush anything and take baby steps.

There are so many reasons why you shouldn’t go in quickly for the heavier stuff. For those who did, they were quick to regret it. We’re going to talk about why you should chill on THC and what to do what are the baby steps you need to take when easing into THC.

A Foreign Feeling

That’s about it. It’s going to be a foreign feeling for you. You’re going to be overwhelmed with a lot of things, especially if you don’t really know anything about THC. Your body is new to it and it might not be able to deal with it perfectly well.

A good reason why you should also ease into THC is so you can understand what pace you’re comfortable with. You won’t have the same pace as everybody so you might as well take it slow and learn on your own.

By trying out the basic strains and learning how you cope with the high that you feel, you’re not going to shock your body and you will slowly develop a routine to help you the next time you decide to smoke some pot.

Also, if ever you do get high during your first time and you feel quite overwhelmed, know your limit and stop there. Don’t overestimate yourself because you might end up not feeling your face at all and it will surely make you panic.

We could go on and on but the main thing is that you should know your limits. Don’t shock your body just because you really want to get high. Slow down your pace and develop your own routine.

Baby Steps

Yes, easing into THC should just like be your baby steps. They were slow but sure and they eventually made you walk better. That’s what you should do with THC, take it slow. Here are the things you need to remember when you’re still easing into it:

• No Edibles

Easing into THC also means that you shouldn’t really try edibles. Yeah, they’re pretty tempting but these edibles contain stronger THC contents that just give you a really powerful and overwhelming high.

Not just that, the high will last even longer than you can imagine and that’s really not ideal for you first time. Even if you’re prepared enough, it will still be a foreign experience that will just leave you confused.

• Try a Vape Pen

Vape Pens have been known to give a less intense high than a joint, that’s why this is a better option for you. They won’t hurt your lungs as much as the joints will. And yes, you will feel a little bit uncomfortable during your first time.

These pens are friendlier to first timers and won’t leave you feeling quite overwhelmed with a joint. Just have some really cold water nearby to quench your thirst because you’re bound to feel a bit dry.

• First-Time Friendlies

What most veterans suggest is that you start with strains that are first-time friendly. Meaning, they don’t give the most intense highs. Let’s face it, your body is new to THC and it will most likely be confused with the new intruder.

Some of the best strains for first timers are Maui Wowie, Jack Herer, White Widow, and Blue Dream. These are quite popular even for veterans, so you might want to give them a try. Don’t worry, your state’s dispensaries will surely have staff that will help you find a perfect first-time strain.

• Adjustment Period

This is why it’s so important to ease up on THC because you’re going to let your body adjust to the new thing you just introduced. If you shock yourself with a really strong one, then your body might just be overworked and end up feeling even more disappointed – not to mention, confused as hell

Usually, first timers don’t get high because they either did it wrong or the brain just didn’t know how to react to THC. Don’t get frustrated though, it’s pretty normal. A lot of people didn’t really get high during their first time.

Continue using the ones mentioned above until you feel the high that you’re looking for. Prepare for a really euphoric feeling that will leave you feeling weird yet satisfied. You’ll know it when you feel it.

Knowing your limits is crucial during your first time. A lot of things could go right but there are also a lot of things that can go wrong. Just following the tips listed above will surely help you get through your first time smoking cannabis.
