What is decarboxylation and why is it necessary?
Decarboxylation is heating cannabis to convert THCA (inactive) into THC (active). Without this step, your edible will have almost no psychoactive effect. BatchCraft accounts for this in all calculations.
How long should I wait after eating an edible?
At least 2 hours before considering more. Edibles must be digested and processed by the liver before effects begin, which takes 45-120 minutes depending on metabolism and stomach contents.
What if I take too much?
Stay calm, hydrate, and rest. No one has ever fatally overdosed on cannabis edibles. Symptoms of overconsumption (anxiety, nausea) pass in a few hours. Having a calm environment and a trusted friend nearby helps.
