Dosing
Weed hard candy should be eaten with caution. Each recipe explains the servings that it should be divided into. It is recommended to being with one candy and wait two hours to fully gauge its effects before consuming more. Edibles will produce an intense long-lasting high that can be uncomfortable to wait out if you over consume, so it’s best to stay cautious.
