Start low with edibles (5mg THC) and wait 90+ minutes before consuming more. Kentucky limits edibles to 10mg per serving for safety.
Never drive impaired. Kentucky has proposed strict THC blood limits for drivers. Cannabis metabolites can remain in your system for weeks.
Store cannabis securely away from children and pets. Keep products in original packaging with labels intact.
