When overconsumed, there is also potential for cannabis to manifest
its psychoactive properties through a more hallucinogenic experience.
These symptoms may be exacerbated in patients suffering from mental
conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Mixing
cannabis consumption with other drugs, taking it on an empty stomach,
sleep deprivation, or a history of mental conditions may all contribute to
the possibility of experiencing hallucinations including visual, tactile,
and audible perceptions.
Knowing your body and abiding by the “everything in moderation”
principle is a good standard to guide you when learning your limit as it
relates to cannabis consumption. The positive effects of marijuana have
been tested and confirmed for decades, as it offers a preferred route to
healing for many patients. Studies are now showing that cannabis is
also safe to consume and enjoy recreationally, as it is a natural brain
stimulant to boosting pleasure and creativity. Whether you are a qualified
candidate to consume cannabis medicinally or recreationally, just be sure
to be safe and prepared to make the most of your experience.
“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.”
