Frequently Asked Questions
How many mg of edibles should a beginner take?
Beginners should start with 2.5-5mg of THC. This is considered a low dose that allows you to gauge your sensitivity without overwhelming effects. Wait at least 2 hours before considering taking more.
How long do edibles take to kick in?
Edibles typically take 30-90 minutes to take effect, depending on the type. Beverages and tinctures tend to act faster (15-30 minutes), while baked goods and capsules can take 45-90 minutes. Always wait at least 2 hours before taking more.
How long do edible effects last?
Edible effects typically last 4-8 hours, with peak effects occurring 1-4 hours after consumption. The duration depends on the dose, your metabolism, and the type of edible consumed.
What should I do if I take too much?
Stay calm and remember that cannabis overdose is not fatal. Find a comfortable place, take deep breaths, stay hydrated, and try chewing black peppercorns (the caryophyllene may help). CBD can also help counteract THC effects. The feelings will pass within a few hours.
Does body weight affect edible dosage?
Body weight can influence how edibles affect you, but it is not as significant a factor as your overall cannabis tolerance and experience level. Our calculator accounts for body weight as a secondary factor alongside your primary experience level.
