Let’s say you attended a college party. Everyone is having a good time until they start serving newly-baked cookies. Without saying a word, you start munching on a few bars. After a while, you start feeling woozy then the world suddenly starts spinning. The scenario above is one example of accidental ingestion of food infused with weed.
According to a news report from CNBC, children and adults accidentally ingest THC through edibles. Since edibles look the same as regular food, it’s hard to know which one’s bound to make you full or make you high.
Other times, people eat a lot of edibles even if they know they are cannabis-infused. As humans digest THC in edibles, it takes a longer time to experience its effects. People think that it is right to eat many edibles since they do not immediately feel its effects.
But it is easy to curb down the ingested THC through edibles by using other terpenes to fight the terpenes found in weed. Eating pine nuts or pistachios could neutralize THC levels as they contain the chemical pinene. The chemical pinene helps with mental clarity. Meanwhile, eating acidic fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruit can also alleviate the effects of consuming too much THC.
