It is important to know how strong that edible was if you ever find yourself in such a situation. When your pet eats something that someone totally irresponsible just thrown by the side of the street its impossible to tell whether its your stash or not.
Newbies those just getting started with marijuana edibles are usually advised to start slowly and increase their consumption gradually. An edible with 5 mg of THC is considered a low dosage. An edible brownie with 5 mg of THC will induce a pleasant feeling without making you stoned. You should not do that at least if you're an adult.
