that there can't be any more then 10mg of

THC, CBD or Balanced Edibles?
THC
THC is responsible for the psychoactive high that is well known in cannabis.
THC effects everyone differently and some of the feelings can be unpleasant. Starting off with a low dosage, allows the end user to control their "high"
When consumed responsibly, edibles can produce feelings of euphoria, creativity, relaxation, or pain relief.
Balanced
When THC and CBD work together, users tend to feel a more mellow, nuanced high than a THC-only high. When CBD is present, they also have a much lower chance of experiencing THC-induced paranoia. Cannabis newcomers are best off trying a combination of cannabinoids if the goal is to experience a noticeable, yet soothing high.
CBD
For a barley there, calm feeling CBD is
where it is at!
CBD is non intoxicating and won't give you that infamous "high" feeling that THC does.
The research around CBD is endless, there are studies that showcase the different benefits of CBD for certain medical conditions along with certain health benefits.
We carry soft chews, chocolates, tablets, sugars, powders, oils, sprays, and capsules at GreenSpot and are frequently asked questions like, "How much should I start with?", "Should I take THC or CBD?", "What is a blended edible?", and "Do sativa and indica really matter in edible?"
