Harm Reduction Tips For Cannabis Users

Even experienced cannabis users can benefit from reviewing strategies and practical tips for reducing harm. Think about why you want to use cannabis. Is it going to help you or make things worse? Keep in mind that if you have a pre-existing vulnerability to psychosis, cannabis use may increase your risk of an episode. It can also worsen the symptoms of psychotic disorders. Choose your source with care. Legal cannabis products are tested for quality and are safer to use than cannabis you may get from your dealer or a friend. Avoid using cannabis if you notice any mold or mildew. Try a small amount first. Some cultivars (strains) of cannabis may have higher THC content and a stronger effect than you were expecting. If you know it’s a stronger cultivar, use less, or choose ones with a lower Total THC.
