CBD or THC? Our St. Albert Dispensary Can Help!

Although THC and CBD are both cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant, they vary in many ways. One important difference is that CBD will not cause users to be intoxicated. This is one of the most common reasons people choose to consume CBD products. CBD works by binding to cannabinoid receptors and can prevent THC from activating those receptors. Products with a mix of CBD and THC are popular with first-time consumers as they can often result in a less intense psychoactive effect. However, CBD still produces an effect and high doses of CBD often produce a relaxing experience.

Consuming Edibles Safely with Refresh St. Albert

At Refresh Cannabis, we pride ourselves on giving our customers the best service, and part of that service involves providing information. Most people understand that a drug’s effect can vary dramatically if you take it on an empty stomach. This is true of all drugs including vitamins and medications, not just intoxicating substances. 

When you eat edibles on an empty stomach, the effects are going to hit you harder and faster than if you’d had something to eat. For this reason, we recommend that new cannabis users avoid taking edibles without eating first. This allows you to gauge the feeling and intensity of the dose. Similarly, if you eat an edible when you’re full, it takes longer to kick in, and the effects will be somewhat muted in comparison to doing so on an empty stomach. Additionally, the high will last for longer. Generally, this experience is preferred over a somewhat shorter, more intense high.
