How fast is the onset of effects when smoking? (kbin.social)

I plan to go out in nature on my horse with a joint but am concerned because I’m not entirely sure how quick I’ll go from high to stoned to encumbered. The goal isn’t to be couch locked but to help with my anxiety. The previous time I got high it was somewhat light and the second time nothing happened. I don’t want to get stoned and be unable to ride back home 😂

related: any strains or things I should look for when using cannabis for anxiety/depression/PTSD? The first time was amazing for my mental health, and has helped me a lot in just that one time. I just would like to re-up periodically when I need it.

Edit: I live in a legal municipality with access to dispensaries.

Whatever weed you'll get, I'd definitely first try that strain / dose whilst home, so you know exactly what effects you get once you wanna ride high

I'm honestly with you on this one. I had read somewhere that if you smoke in a positive and happy environment it'd help steer the experience away from an anxiety attack (exactly what I'm trying to help with, lol). I'll just take a joint with me and relax on the terrace before I go out.

This is true with most psychoactive experiences too like hallucinogenic trips. You want to be in an environment you feel safe and comfortable in. Smoke on the terrace, wait 15 minute, judge for yourself if you are feeling in the right state, then do it.

Definitely this. And look into a smoke stone like roach clip. Let's you re-light without burning your nose hairs off. Then you can take a few hits, save the rest for later.

Yeah. If you have to ask about the effects, then you really aren't ready to do it outside. Especially not when riding.
