Start low and go slow
Everyone reacts to cannabis differently based on the product, the dose, body chemistry, and tolerance. Begin with a low amount, wait, and see how you feel before taking more. You can always take a little more later; you cannot take less once you have consumed it. When in doubt, ask a Sage Seeds budtender for a low-dose starting point.
Mind the timing on edibles
Edibles work very differently from inhaled products. The effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to begin and can last several hours. The most common mistake is taking a second dose before the first one kicks in. Take a single serving, wait the full window, and only then decide whether you want more.
Never drive or operate machinery impaired
Do not drive, ride, or operate machinery after using cannabis. Driving while impaired by cannabis is illegal in New York and dangerous to you and others. Plan ahead for a sober ride home, and give yourself plenty of time before getting behind the wheel.
Keep it away from children and pets
Cannabis products, especially edibles that can look like ordinary food, must be kept where children and pets cannot reach them. Accidental ingestion is a real risk. Store everything in its original child-resistant packaging.
Store it safely
Keep your cannabis in a cool, dry, secure place, in the resealable packaging it came in, and clearly out of reach of anyone under 21. Secure storage protects your household and keeps your products fresh.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Cannabis is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are nursing, please talk with your healthcare provider.
Talk to your healthcare provider
If you have a health condition or take medications, speak with a qualified healthcare provider before using cannabis. Cannabis can interact with some medications and may not be right for everyone.
