⚠️ Cautions & Recipe Notes:
🛑 Dosing Note:
Be mindful of your infused coconut oil strength.
Start low (e.g., 2–5 mg THC or CBD per piece) and label clearly. 🧪 Use CBD-dominant or balanced THC/CBD
infusions if calming is the goal. ⚠️ Do not combine with prescription sedatives or anti-anxiety
medication without speaking to your healthcare provider. 🚫 Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after consumption. ❄️ Store in fridge or freezer—melts easily at room temperature. 🌿 Ashwagandha is best avoided during pregnancy or
hyperthyroid conditions.
