When consumed as high-potency edibles, cannabis has the effects of a psychedelic.

We know when using a psychedelic dose, set, and setting become critical.

People taking a strong dose of a psychedelic and expecting it to be no more than a regular pot high might be in for a rude awakening, especially if they treat it casually instead of with great respect, take it in inappropriate circumstances (like at parties or clubs full of people they don't know or trust), etc.

It's no wonder that many people suffer from paranoia and other adverse effects from casual use of edibles. They should really be treating a strong dose of edible cannabis like they do a strong dose of LSD.

It can, in some rare cases, have mildly or moderately psychedelic effects when smoked, too. Especially if it's high quality, has a very high THC ratio, the user has no or almost no tolerance, and a lot is smoked in a very short period of time.
