Edibles are one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to explore cannabis. They’re discreet, tasty, and long-lasting. But because they work differently than smoking or vaping, dosing them correctly is important for a comfortable experience, especially if you’re new.
Why Dosing Matters
Edibles take longer to kick in because they’re absorbed through your digestive system. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to start feeling effects, and the experience can last several hours.
Taking too much too soon can lead to a stronger experience than expected, so pacing yourself is key.
How to Enjoy Edibles Confidently
Start Low: If you’re new to cannabis edibles, many people begin with around 2.5 – 5 mg THC. If a piece is stronger, you can cut it into smaller portions.
Go Slow: Wait at least 2 hours before taking more so you know how it affects you.
Know the Type: Gummies and chocolates can take a little longer. Drinks and fast-acting formulas may kick in sooner.
Consider CBD Blends: Edibles with both THC and CBD often feel more balanced and gentle.
Choose Your Setting: Enjoy your edible in a comfortable, relaxing environment, especially the first time.
Finding Your Sweet Spot
Everyone’s body reacts to THC differently. Your ideal dose depends on your comfort level, metabolism, and tolerance. Starting low gives you room to adjust without overdoing it. With a little patience, you’ll learn what works best for you.
Start low. Go slow. Let it grow.
Following these tips can help you enjoy edibles safely, comfortably, and confidently, whether it's your first time or you're just dialing in your perfect dose.
