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.

Back when I didn't really smoke, (but would with friends who did) I would take one big hit off of whatever they were smoking, and be good for an hour or two. When I felt it wearing off, I'd hop back in the circle grab another puff.

Smoking is fast. You'll feel it quickly, but it will build up. Take a hit. Put it away for 5 minutes. If you think you need another one, go for it and wait another 5 minutes.

You should be good as long as you don't rush it.

Have fun and good luck!
