Hi macoolette!
Cannabis and caffeine a good combo? I think that it works well. Our oil was made from mix of both true sativa and true indica leaning plants. So the effect is both a body and cerebral experience.
Great questions!!!
Dosing is certainly subjective to the user. So my preferred dose many be less than yours. For anyone wanting to try an edible for the first time, 5mg is a very low dose and a good place to start. I tend to say 5-10mg. Most people who have experience with cannabis may feel that 10mg is actually very mild. By starting with these minimal amounts you can learn if it is enough for you. It is really like any other medication that requires up-titration. Start on a low dose and assess tolerability and desired effect. And increase in small amounts until you get to where you want to be.
So I have a lot of friends with children. In the home, cannabis [not just edibles], needs to be treated like alcohol, medication and harmful chemicals. If they are in the home you need to make sure they are not accessible to young children. And then to engage them in conversation about safety & education as they get older.
Thanks for the tips about the dosage...
There still goes my fear for addiction. 😊
But to your point, I agree that it is all up to the user. It is a matter of being responsible with your actions and being accountable of the outcome.
