If you experience adverse effects from cannabis, such as anxiety or paranoia, try to stay calm and find a comfortable place to rest. Drinking water and eating something can help. Rescue remedies can help as well as CBD.

Cannabis can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, vaping, edibles, tinctures, and topicals. Each method has its own set of effects and potential harms. It's important to choose a method that aligns with your preferences and health considerations.

To reduce the unique harms associated with cannabis consumption, consider starting with a low dose, avoiding mixing with other substances, staying hydrated, and being mindful of your environment. It's also helpful to educate yourself about the specific strain and its effects.
