THC: Exploring the Effects and Precautions to Take
Cannabis, a complex plant containing a myriad of cannabinoids, offers a feeling of euphoria thanks to one of its main components: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The effects of THC include a feeling of well-being, relaxation and increased appetite, but can also include undesirable side effects.
How does THC affect the body?
Smoking or vaping: Inhaling cannabis, whether by combustion or vaporization, produces rapid effects, felt in just a few minutes. It's advisable to take your time between inhalations to assess the gradual effect of each dose. The effects of this method can last up to six hours. You can also try our THC puff.
Edible products: Cannabis edibles, like our THC candies, have a longer duration of action, ranging from 30 minutes to two hours. Unlike inhalation, the effects of edibles can occur gradually over several hours, and even intensify after a while. These effects can last up to twelve hours or more.
Storage precautions
It is essential to store cannabis products out of the reach of children and pets, preferably in a lockable container. It is also advisable to keep products in their original packaging to avoid any confusion or accidental consumption. Educating children about the effects of cannabis and its repercussions is another important preventive measure.
THC content
THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, and its dosage is generally expressed as a percentage. THC concentration can vary considerably depending on the cannabis variety, the part of the plant used, and the cultivation and processing methods.
For example, the flowering tops of unfertilized plants (sinsemilla) can contain between 10% and 20% THC, while the leaves of ordinary plants can contain between 1% and 5%. Hashish, meanwhile, can contain up to 30% THC.
In conclusion, while THC offers beneficial effects for some, it's crucial to take precautions when consuming it, including safe storage and awareness of potential risks, to ensure a positive and safe experience for all.
