Know Before You Go

Begin with the smallest effective dose, especially with edibles. Wait at least 2 hours before consuming more. This golden rule prevents overconsumption and helps you find your perfect dose safely.

Your tolerance is unique to you. Factors like body chemistry, experience level, and even what you've eaten affect how cannabis impacts you. Never base your dose on what works for someone else.

Cannabis impairs reaction time and judgment. If you feel different, you drive different. Plan your ride home before you consume—use rideshare, public transit, or stay where you are. A DUI is a DUI, whether it's alcohol or cannabis.

Keep all cannabis products in child-resistant containers, locked away from kids, pets, and anyone who shouldn't access them. Edibles can look like regular snacks—proper storage prevents accidental consumption.

Remember to Store Safely.

Feeling anxious, dizzy, or overwhelmed? You're not in danger, but you've taken too much. Move to a quiet space, drink water, breathe deeply, and remember: the feeling is temporary and will pass. 

Remember to breathe deeply.

You're safe.
