The best way to use cannabis safely is to start small and stay mindful. Start by only consuming small amounts of cannabis, such as one puff from a pipe, a joint, or an edible, at a time. If consuming edibles, measure out the exact dose in advance and wait a minimum of two hours before consuming more to gauge the effect of the cannabis. When consuming cannabis in any form, pay close attention to your body and your feelings and take note of how the cannabis affects you. Also, never operate heavy machinery or drive while under the influence. Lastly, make sure to purchase cannabis from a reputable source and know the potency of your cannabis before using it.
