Cannabis Edibles (THC/CBD)
Street names: Edibles, Gummies, THC chocolate, Cannabis-infused food, CBD edibles
Overdose? Act now. Call emergency services — say "unresponsive, not breathing". Give naloxone for opioid-like signs. Hotlines
⚡What it does
- Slow onset (30 min–2 h), long duration (4–8 h)
- Body-heavy high, stronger than smoking at equivalent dose
- CBD versions: relaxation without the high (at real doses)
⚠Key risks
- THE classic overdose: people eat more when it 'isn't working yet' — 2–3 hour delay means stacking doses
- Overconsumption: severe panic, paranoia, vomiting — miserable but not life-threatening
- Children/pets eating gummies — poison-center calls spike wherever edibles are legal
- Black-market edibles: unlabeled or wildly mislabeled THC content
- Food-safety issues in unregulated kitchens
✚Overdose signs
- No fatal overdose alone
- Extreme anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations
- Vomiting, inability to stand
- Racing heart — usually panic, not cardiac emergency
