You just popped an edible. You’re feeling good... or maybe you’re about to. Edibles are awesome — slow, steady, and when they hit right, they hit. But let’s be real: everyone’s got a wild edible story (or knows someone who does).
At Anchored, we're all about leveling up your chill — not crashing it. (Trust us, we’ve learned the hard way.)
So before you pop that gummy or take a bite of that chocolate bar, here’s your survival guide for what not to do after taking an edible.
1. Don’t Assume “It’s Not Working” and Take More
Biggest rookie mistake ever.
Edibles take their sweet time — sometimes 45 minutes to 2 hours. If you stack a second dose because “nothing’s happening yet,” guess what? You’re about to double up and blast off.
Anchored Tip:
Start low, wait it out. Our edibles are designed to kick in smooth, not smash you sideways.
2. Don’t Plan a Full-On Mission
Now’s not the time to schedule your Costco trip, deep clean the house, or join a dodgeball tournament. Once that edible hits, you’re gonna want a chill setup — not fluorescent lights and a shopping cart.
Anchored Tip:
Build a lazy day kit: snacks, playlists, cozy clothes. Let the edible take you into chill mode, not out of it.
3. Don’t Panic When It Hits
“Wait… am I too high?” It’s a classic edible moment. And the answer is always:
No. You’re exactly as high as you’re supposed to be.
Anchored Tip:
Ride the wave. Put on a cozy hoodie, throw on a funny movie, sip some water, and remember: you’re good.
4. Don’t Text Your Ex (Or Your Boss)
Feelings feel deeper, songs hit harder, and suddenly you’re thinking "maybe we could work it out..." Just… no. Nothing good has ever come from deep, emotional texting mid-edible.
Anchored Tip:
Set your playlist before you dose — and maybe turn your phone on Do Not Disturb for a few hours. Protect your peace.
5. Don’t Fight the Chill
If your body’s telling you it’s time to melt into the couch, melt into the couch.
There’s no prize for forcing yourself to stay up and deep dive weird YouTube rabbit holes (unless you really want to, in which case... godspeed).
Anchored Tip:
Have your ultimate chill setup ready: blanket, soft lighting, background music, zero responsibilities. Let the edible work its magic. You earned this.
Final Thought
Taking an edible is an experience — not a race, not a productivity hack, and definitely not the time to tackle your to-do list. The best thing you can do? Anchor yourself in, kick back, and vibe. With Anchored edibles, you already set yourself up for success. Now all you have to do is stay smart, stay chill, and enjoy the ride.
