Not Medical Advice, Brother
We love the culture, but we're not doctors. Nothing on Reeferdude, including what Ray says, is medical advice. This page lays out the common-sense stuff so you can take care of yourself and your people.
We don't give medical advice
The words, guides, games and chat answers on this site are for fun and general learning. They don't diagnose, and they're not a stand-in for a qualified health professional. We make no health claims about any product, plant or practice. If something's worryin' you about your body or your mind, talk to someone trained to help.
Effects vary, so start low and go slow
Everybody's different. Body, mood, tolerance, setting and what you've eaten all change how things feel. If an adult chooses to partake where it's legal, the old wisdom stands: start low, go slow, and wait before you go for more. More isn't always better.
- Take your time and check in with yourself
- Stay hydrated and keep your people close
- Skip it if you're feelin' unwell or unsure
- Don't mix with alcohol or other substances
Medicines, pregnancy and special situations
Some substances can interact with prescription or over-the-counter medicines. If you take any medicine, have a health condition, are pregnant or nursing, or are thinkin' about it, talk to a qualified professional before you use anything. That conversation is worth more than any website, ours included.
Stay safe and keep it away from kids
Never drive, ride or run machinery impaired. Plan a safe ride home before you start. Keep all gear, seeds and related items locked up and out of reach of children and pets. Accidents happen fast, and prevention is easy. If someone seems to be in trouble, call your local emergency number right away.
Straight answers
Is Ray a medical expert?
No, partner. Ray's a chatty budtender bot built for culture, gear and fun. He can be wrong, and he can't give medical advice. Ask a qualified professional about health stuff.
What does start low and go slow mean?
It means take a small amount, give it plenty of time, and don't rush to take more. Everyone's different, so patience keeps things comfortable.
Can I use this site while on medication?
Browsing is fine. But if you're thinkin' about using any substance while on medicine, ask a doctor or pharmacist first. Interactions are real.
Where do I find legal info for my area?
Check your local rules. They vary a lot. Our compliance page explains how the crew thinks about it.
