Edibles Dosing 101: Start Low and Go Slow

How to Dose Cannabis Edibles

Edibles are one of the most popular ways to enjoy cannabis — discreet, smoke-free, and long-lasting. But they work differently than flower or vapes, so a little knowledge goes a long way.

Start Low

If you're new, a common starting dose is 2.5mg to 5mg of THC. You can always take more next time, but you can't take less once it's kicked in.

Go Slow

Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect because they're processed through your digestive system. Wait at least two hours before considering more.

Tips for a Good Experience

Have a snack first, stay hydrated, and give yourself a comfortable, low-pressure setting — especially the first few times. Keep edibles stored safely away from children and pets.
