For me during apex period, a bong hit could calm me down or it could make things worse. I find one hit will usually give me what I need. I don't take dabs or smoke blunts during apex period (hours 2 and 3) because those are much, much too strong for me at that point. But like everyone else in here says, it really does boost the affects. What affects? The ones you're currently feeling, so try not to hit it when your anxious °¤•.
