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.

When smoking, I find 1-2 minutes to start feeling it, 5-15 minutes for peak effects.

Absolutely try it at home first. Don't go out on a horse for your first time.

As always, start low and increase after you've waited long enough to peak out.

Talk to your budtender, but also be prepared to experiment, because everything hits people differently. Strains will give you an idea what the effect may be, but it won't be a certainty. Indica vs Sativa will probably be bullshit, terpenes and thc to cbd will probably have more of an effect. All of which can vary from producer to producer, and batch to batch.
