Eating cannabis has the potential to get you stoned beyond the normal high you experience when smoking, which is why it’s important that you are careful with your marijuana dose.  You can easily become overwhelmed and potentially too stoned if you don’t pay attention to your marijuana dosage amounts.  Even a weaker weed has the ability to send you into orbit and potentially ruin your experience.  Therefore, it is important to respect the strength and amount of cannabis you’re preparing and/or eating.

If you do smoke, then a little test toke of the weed you intend to use should help you know the potency of what you’re cooking with.
