Are THC gummies safe? Dosages to be respected

The THC gummies gummies offer a gentle, discreet alternative for cannabis enthusiasts. But behind their colorful appearance and sweet taste, these edibles contain very real effects that can present risks. Thanks to Puffy, discover the doses to respect and the precautions to take to ensure a safe experience.

What are the risks of THC gummies?

Unlike other methods of cannabis consumption, theingestion of THC in the form of gummies presents particularities that modify the perception and intensity of the effects. When ingested, THC gummies see their active ingredient metabolized by the liver and transformed into 11-hydroxy-THC, a molecule reputed to be more potent and longer-lasting in its effects. This process also takes time, which can delay the onset of effects.

This delay may prompt some users to take an extra dose, in the belief that the product is ineffective, thus exposing them to the risk of overdosing. Although gummies are generally well tolerated, overdosing remains the main cause of accidental poisoning. This can lead to adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, anxiety attacks, palpitations, even hallucinations and malaise. To avoid these risks, it's essential to follow recommended dosages.

THC gummies: dosages to be respected

THC gummies are distinguished by their ease of consumption and precise dosage. Each candy contains a specific THC dosage (generally between 10 and 20 mg), making it easier for you to control your consumption.

If you've never used THC before, or only occasionally, we advise you to opt for low doses (under 10 mg). If you're more experienced and already know your THC tolerance, you can opt for higher doses. You can also divide a candy into two or four pieces to better control the dosage and prolong the experience.

Note that these dosages are given as a guide and that the strength of the effects may vary according to factors such as your metabolism, your tolerance level, your weight and your general state of health.

THC gummies: when should you avoid using them?

Consumption of THC gummies is strongly discouraged for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as for people with a psychiatric history or suffering from certain pathologies, such as cardiovascular disease. It is also forbidden to minors.
