hile most of the side effects of cannabis consumption
are relatively harmless, some users may still experience
some discomfort. Some sources of discomfort are physical,
while others are more mental, or there can be a combination of
both. Overconsumption may also come with a different set of
definitions and reactions from one person to another. As is the
case when trying any new medication for the first time, it is im-
portant to be aware of your medical history and family-related
conditions, as well as consider any allergies and sensitivities
to help prevent misuse.
PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT
Typical side effects of cannabis (over)consumption include
dry or bloodshot eyes, dry mouth, tiredness, and increased ap-
petite. Many of these are mild and can be controlled by being
prepared. It is best to treat cannabis as you would any other
medication; take it with a meal, drink plenty of water, avoid
operating vehicles or machinery during use, and stay in a safe
space during and after consumption to reduce the odds of an
accident or stress brought on by any associated discomfort.
