How fast is the onset of effects when smoking? - eviltoast

I plan to go out in nature on my horse with a joint but am concerned because I’m not entirely sure how quick I’ll go from high to stoned to encumbered. The goal isn’t to be couch locked but to help with my anxiety. The previous time I got high it was somewhat light and the second time nothing happened. I don’t want to get stoned and be unable to ride back home 😂

related: any strains or things I should look for when using cannabis for anxiety/depression/PTSD? The first time was amazing for my mental health, and has helped me a lot in just that one time. I just would like to re-up periodically when I need it.

Edit: I live in a legal municipality with access to dispensaries.

    Definitely ask the bud tender at your dispensary, and smoke small amounts at a time after trying the strain you get. Keep in mind that it can exacerbate things like paranoia and anxiety, so definitely try it at home before venturing out while under the influence.

    Two things that will help bring you down are sweets and caffeine, so it’s a good idea to bring some chocolate/candy and coffee with you in case you get overwhelmed.

      I cannot recommend talking to your budtender about what effect you’re going for, what you’re trying to prevent/alter, and don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Also, defo try this at home first.
