But, you’ve probably heard at least one unfortunate story of someone getting [too high from eating marijuana edibles](https://people.com/crime/man-calls-cops-on-self-for-being-too-high/). These days, this is easy to avoid with low-dose edibles and cannabidiol (CBD). \n\n![Untitled6.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled6_25075b1591.png)\n\n### Why Choose Marijuana Edibles\n\nThere are so many [different ways to consume cannabis](https://hellomd.com/articles/7-different-ways-to-consume-weed). Why do some patients choose [marijuana edibles over flower](https://hellomd.com/articles/the-differences-between-edibles-and-flowers)? Aside from being smoke-free, the effects of cannabis edibles are more potent and longer-lasting than smoking or vaping. For this reason, many patients choose edibles to treat insomnia, chronic pain, and side effects from severe illnesses like cancer. \n\nIt takes about one to two hours to feel the effects of edibles because the **Tetrahydrocannabinol** (**THC**) is digested and processed by the liver. Through this process, THC is turned into [11-Hyrdorxy-THC, which has a more psychoactive effect](https://hellomd.com/articles/how-11-hydroxy-thc-makes-edibles-more-potent-than-smoking).\n\n![Untitled9.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled9_9f870901dd.png)\n\n### Edibles – Dose Low and Go Slow\n\nTo have a positive experience with marijuana edibles, you need [correct dosing](https://hellomd.com/articles/dosing-cannabis-edibles-safely) and patience. A starting dose is considered 2.5 to 5 milligrams (mg) of THC. After eating an edible, it’s essential to wait at least two hours before consuming more. The most common mistake is to eat more too soon and then it is too late to reverse a bad experience.\n\n![Untitled7.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled7_658cde93b0.png)\n\n### Types of Marijuana Edibles\n\nYou can make almost any food into a marijuana edible with [infused cannabutter](https://hellomd.com/articles/diy-recipe-cannabutter-or-cannabis-butter). Traditionally, weed was baked into desserts like brownies and cookies. These days, gummies are the most popular edible because they’re portable, easy to dose, and come in different varieties and flavors. \n\n### The 5 Best Marijuana Edibles in Ohio\n\nBelow we’ll list the best cannabis edibles available to buy at dispensaries in Ohio.  \n\n![Untitled1.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled1_5f337e5a64.png)\n\n### The Botanist Green Apple CBG Gummies\n\nThe Botanist [makes their gummies in-house](https://www.shopbotanist.com/locations/columbus/products/gummies/). They're flavorful and made with all-natural, vegan, and gluten-free ingredients. The [Green Apple 1:1 CBG gummies](https://www.shopbotanist.com/locations/columbus/shop-medical/) are a new variety. [Cannabigerol (CBG)](https://www.shopbotanist.com/locations/columbus/shop-medical/) is a precursor to THC and CBD that has recently been isolated for its cancer-blocking and neuroprotectant properties. CBG feels similar to CBD in that it isn’t psychoactive but feels relaxing and relieves pain, anxiety, and depression. The one-to-one THC to CBG ratio in these gummies offers a relaxing, happy calm that is good for day or night. Each gummy in the 11-pack contains 10 mg of THC and CBG.\n\n![Untitled2.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled2_c662accd26.png)\n\n### Klutch Kiva Churro Milk Chocolate Bar \n\n[FRX Ohio sells the Klutch Kiva Churro Chocolate Bar](https://frxohio.com/menu/?dtche[product]=klutch-kiva-churro-milk-chocolate-bar-20pc-chocolate-100mg), which is dusted in cinnamon sugar and tastes like a churro dipped in hot chocolate.

Treatments for PTSD can include therapy, lifestyle changes, and various medications for common symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia.  \n\nBut a growing number of people with PTSD are [finding relief with cannabis](https://hellomd.com/articles/3-popular-questions-about-marijuana-and-ptsd-answered), which works naturally to relieve many of the symptoms of PTSD. And now, Ohio residents with a [medical marijuana card](https://hellomd.com/get-started/) can purchase a variety of new cannabis products for various health conditions, including PTSD, from Ohio's many legal cannabis dispensaries.\n\n![Untitled35.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled35_4cf5f7a656.png)\n\n### What is PTSD?\nAlthough [PTSD](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967) is often associated with veterans returning from combat zones, it can affect anyone, even children, and it's more **common in women than in men**. And while it often develops after a traumatic event like an earthquake, an assault, or a severe accident, it can also arise after being in a traumatic situation for a more extended period of time. \n\nPeople who live with domestic violence may experience PTSD afterward, and so can people who have spent long periods in hospitals, especially in intensive care. PTSD can also affect people who have experienced the loss of a loved one, \nparents of children who face a severe illness, and women who have complications during labor and delivery.\n\nPTSD was once classified as an anxiety disorder, but it's now considered a separate mental health condition. But anxiety can be a symptom of PTSD, along with[many others](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967) including:\n\n- Nightmares\n- Flashbacks to the traumatic incident or situation\n- Sudden outbursts of anger or violence\n- Hypervigilance and always being on edge\n- Insomnia\n- Depression\n- Avoidance of situations that raise reminders of trauma\n\nPTSD can impact an individual's ability to work, maintain relationships, or manage daily life. Psychotherapy and a variety of medications can help to control or reduce symptoms, but many people are finding that cannabis [can relieve multiple PTSD symptoms](https://hellomd.com/articles/new-finds-on-ptsd-and-medical-marijuana) without the side effects of common medications. \n\n![Untitledval140.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitledval140_0e8bcb189d.png)\n\n### Cannabis: Natural Relief for PTSD\n\nCannabis is an ancient plant used in societies worldwide for relaxation and relief from stress. Now, a growing body of research is revealing how the many compounds and [terpenes](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-are-terpenes-and-what-is-their-effect) in cannabis work with the body's [endocannabinoid system](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system), or ECS, to activate pathways in the brain that are responsible for managing mood, regulating pain signaling, and many other processes that [maintain homeostasis, or balance](https://hellomd.com/articles/marijuana-cannabinoids-and-homeostasis-a-balancing-act).\n\nThe endocannabinoid system is a large network of cell receptors found in the body and brain tissues. These receptors respond both to natural cannabinoid chemicals produced by the body and to the very similar compounds in the cannabis plant. Cannabis contains more than a hundred different compounds capable of activating ECS cell receptors, including THC, the compound that causes the well-known cannabis \"high\", and CBD. This non-psychoactive compound supports many of the body's subsystems for better health. \n\nBecause THC, CBD, and other compounds and terpenes activate responses in pathways related to mood and arousal, cannabis may help to relieve the [anxiety, agitation, and insomnia](https://hellomd.com/articles/can-marijuana-help-with-chronic-pain-anxiety-and-insomnia) that often accompany PTSD.\n\n### The 5 Best Cannabis Products for Anxiety in Ohio\n\nMarijuana has been [legal for medical purposes](https://www.medicalmarijuana.ohio.gov/patients-caregivers) in Ohio since 2016 under the state's Medical Marijuana Control Program, which also oversees certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana to those with qualifying medical conditions, [including PTSD](https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/06/09/ohio-adds-3-new-qualifying-medical-marijuana-conditions/7626470002/). \n\nHere are five of the best options for relieving the **anxiety**, **insomnia** and **other symptoms** associated with PTSD:\n\n![Untitled27.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled27_d4180f37c6.png)\n\n### Key Lime Chem Flower from Cresco\nCresco's [Key Lime Chem Flower](https://www.sunnyside.shop/product/461150) is an indica strain derived from cannabis favorites Chem #4 and Stardawg.
