Dosage Guidelines and Safety for High-Intensity Doses
A 500mg dose is considered "extremely potent" and is generally reserved for medical patients with high physiological tolerance or experienced recreational users. For perspective, a standard "beginner" dose is often cited as 5mg to 10mg.
The "Start Low, Go Slow" Protocol
Because of the delayed onset, users are strictly advised to wait at least 90 to 120 minutes before consuming more. Consuming a full 500mg gummy without a high tolerance can lead to "greening out," characterized by acute anxiety, paranoia, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), and extreme sedation.
