The Dark Side: What Happens If You Eat Too Much
If you eat more than the suggested amount, the high effects will turn viciously toward the dark side and you’ll experience things that are the complete opposite of relaxed and happy; such as:
severe paranoia
anxiety
confusion
disorientation
depression

Some consumers have shared testimonies about their THC intoxication experience and some have claimed that they felt like they were going to die.
WITH THAT SAID, you must know that this is just a feeling that the consumer had which is usually chopped up to the severe paranoia adverse effect. Further, THC intoxication has never caused a death, ever (unlike alcohol poisoning).
THC Gummy Dosing For First-Timers/Beginners
While some people believe that rules are meant to be broken, if it’s you’re first time trying THC gummies, don’t break this next one…

Follow The Recommendations Found On The Product Label (With Precaution)
Adhere to the suggested use found on the product label is a standard recommendation you’ll likely find offered on any educational cannabis website. What you probably won’t hear them say is, DO IT WITH CAUTION!
We want you to be educated before you blindly follow the suggested serving size offered on a product label; and here’s why…
Non-organic and organic hemp-derived THC products alike are NOT heavily regulated as marijuana-derived gummies are. Every hemp gummy brand has the ability to suggest and offer their own recommended THC gummy dosage on their product label without any oversight from law enforcement.
If their product caters towards consumers looking for high-potency THC gummies, a first-timer wouldn’t have a good experience.

What To Take Away
Anyone in America can start a THC gummy business and suggest their own THC serving size whether they are experienced/educated or not. A lack of understanding of what the universally-safe THC tolerance levels are could lead to a very poor experience for you.
Our promise to you:
If follow the THC Gummy Dosage Chart above and you correctly categorize yourself by your THC Tolerance/Experience Level, you will never have a bad experience with THC gummies in regards to THC intoxication.
If there is one motto to live by concerning edible candy dosing, its this…
“You can ALWAYS take more after you swallow, but you can NEVER take less.”
