An empty stomach will experience the affects much faster, whilst a full stomach would not. To prevent feeling uneasy when eating an infused food, follow Lindsay's advice: "Eat a meal first, then try an edible." Not the other way around. Eating before you feel hungry can lead to ingesting too many calories, which could cause weight gain. Edibles are best used as a supplement to other treatments, rather than a replacement for drugs prescribed by doctors. If you plan to use edibles alone as a form of medication, it is important to understand how their effects are influenced by your body state. Do not eat anything before taking a drug test, for example. There are several other factors to take into account, such as whether you're eating meat or vegetables, how much you eat, and whether you have any alcohol or caffeine with your meal. For best results, consume foods that are high in fiber and moderate in fat. This will help slow down digestion and the absorption of nutrients into your bloodstream, giving your body more time to react to the effects of edibles.
