Cannabis concentrates, such as oil and shatter, contain a much higher THC potency than dried flower. They are not recommended for new consumers as they produce a more intense high and carry a greater risk of overconsumption. Some long-time cannabis consumers prefer concentrates to dried flower because they can achieve a similar high with fewer inhales.

The ‘start low and go slow’ harm reduction method. Begin with edibles with a low THC content and wait 30-90 minutes prior to observing the effects and deciding whether to consume more. This helps you learn how your body reacts to the edible and prevents overconsumption.

Edibles have a delayed onset time, ranging from 30-90 minutes, with maximum effects taking place around 2-6 hours and lasting for approximately 4-12 hours. Smoking cannabis causes psychotropic effects that last for only 2-3 hours.

'Greening out’ is a phrase for cannabis overconsumption which can cause you to feel unpleasant, but is not fatal. Side effects include nausea/vomiting, fast pulse, dizziness, and more. These symptoms are temporary and only last for a few hours depending on many factors, such as dose. Use the ‘start low, go slow’ method to avoid having an unpleasant experience.

Edibles take longer to take effect than inhaled cannabis, and you should expect to have to wait at least 45 minutes to feel any effect, and potentially up to two hours. Things like the dose, how much you've eaten, and other factors all impact the timing, so don't assume it'll always be the same amount of time before you feel anything. Start low, go slow.

No. THC is not in the proper form for your body to actually make use of it get high. In most cases you need to heat the THC to have it undergo decarboxylation (decarbing) so that you'll actually get high off the THC. You can eat some dried cannabis if you want, but you're just wasting good cannabis at that point.
