Stars Of Death Edibles

One of the latest and most popular trends in the cannabis community, edibles have overtaken as one of the easiest and most potent ways to get high. Being infused into every snack or food item you could imagine, edibles run the scale from slightly to extremely potent THC levels.

While newer users should take caution when venturing into the world of edibles, the options of potency and edible type are truly limitless for those who enjoy getting their THC with these products.

At the top of this scale, the Stars of Death are regarded as one of the most potent and intense edible options currently widely available. Found in strengths reaching over 100 mg per edible, these gummy treats have gained notoriety as the most intense and powerful edibles on the market.

We’ll break down the differences between normal edibles and the Stars of Death, as well as what you can expect if you are new to edibles.

What Are Stars of Death?

Popularized by comedian and podcast host Joey Diaz, these edibles came onto the market offering extremely high levels of THC not seen within the edible landscape prior. While edibles are already a unique experience in comparison to traditional smoking, these gummy treats reached new grounds as one of the most potent THC based products available.

While edibles were once an unregulated aspect of the world of weed, with states like California allowing almost any strength of edible to remain available, this has recently changed to cap the maximum amount of THC per package of edibles.

The Stars of Death were once available with packages containing up to 1000 mg of THC, with black market products seeing extreme potency and popularity among the hardcore cannabis crowd. This has been limited, however, down to 100 mg in California with a 10 mg cap per “serving”.

Most notably released from companies such as Anarchy or Starr 1, the Stars of Death have subsequently been released from a number of different producers.

The Differences Between Edibles And Smoking

If you have ever dabbled with edibles, you can attest to the massive differences when compared to the traditional methods of smoking. Not only is the effect delayed due to the digestive process, but you’ll often experience higher levels of direct THC.

The average joint has about 5 mg of THC, while the average edible has nearly twice as much at 10 mg per serving.

Additionally, the digestion of THC based products are processed by your body differently, activating additional cannabinoids while also being more bioavailable when eaten. This can lead to more hallucinogenic effects through edibles, which is often not the case with normally smoked cannabis products.

The end result can oftentimes be a much more intense experience, while also being a completely different physical and psychological high.

What Happens When You Get Too High From Edibles?

For those who are new to edibles, you may find yourself in a position where you are in over your head. The feeling of being too high can be overwhelming if you have never been in that position, leaving you physically and psychologically out of control.

There are a few methods to take back the reins if you are feeling the effects too heavily:

Try to Relax

While this may seem obvious, putting yourself in a more relaxed state can help to alleviate some of the anxiety you experience when you are too high. Sitting or laying down while taking some deep breaths can help to lower your heart rate, which is often a side effect of THC and the anxiety associated with it.

Removing yourself from intense social settings, such as a party or out at a bar, will help the relaxation process.

Drink Water Or Have A Snack

Staying hydrated while smoking or consuming edibles will always be a great strategy regardless of whether you are too high. Additionally, cold water can act to calm and take your mind off the feeling of being too high.

This also applies to some light snacks, which can help to distract from any overwhelming feelings.

Light Activity

Doing something simple as going outside for a walk, activities such as watching TV, or light chores can act as a great way to distract you from the feeling of being too high. Anything that can disconnect you from any intrusive feeling or thoughts will be a great solution if you have had one too many edibles.

Advice For Eating Edibles

If you are eating edibles for the first time, especially if you plan on experimenting with stronger doses down the line, there are a few key tips to keep aware of.

Always Start With Low Doses

Because edibles often vary in their THC levels, with some being extremely strong such as the aforementioned Stars of Death, it is always best to keep track of how much you are consuming. For the uninitiated, always start with low doses and reevaluate how you feel after about 30-60 minutes.

The average dose should be about 10 mg, but it doesn’t hurt to start with smaller sections of an edible in the beginning.

Always Know Which Products You Are Eating

If you blindly eat an edible handed to you by a friend or acquaintance, you may run into trouble if you are unaware of the potency. Unlike standard cannabis, which you can tell relatively how much you are consuming at a time, the potency of edibles is indistinguishable without prior knowledge or product packaging.

In addition, edibles have a delayed THC release unlike smoking, which can give you a false sense of security after eating. This can lead to eating too much too quickly, becoming uncomfortably high once the edible takes full effect.

Avoid Overwhelming Social Settings

Edibles are a completely different experience in comparison to smoking, which can lead to adverse side effects or feelings.

If you are planning on taking edibles for the first time, always place yourself in a comfortable setting at home or with friends in the beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you overdose on edibles?

In the traditional sense of a fatal overdose, it is not possible to consume edibles to that extent. You can however overdose to a point of extreme anxiety, increased heart rate, paranoia, or psychosis.

Why do edibles make people paranoid?

The psychoactive compounds found in cannabis, most importantly THC, can oftentimes lead to the feeling of paranoia. This is even more extreme when consuming edibles, as the feelings of being high are oftentimes amplified.

If you find yourself paranoid during regular consumption of cannabis, whether it is smoking or vaping, always be wary of eating edibles as this may become significantly more intense.
