Edibles offer a unique cannabis experience that's different from smoking or vaping. Here's everything beginners need to know.
Start Low, Go Slow
The golden rule of edibles: start with a low dose (5-10mg THC) and wait at least 2 hours before consuming more. Edibles take longer to kick in but last much longer than inhaled cannabis.
What to Expect
- Onset time: 30 minutes to 2 hours
- Peak effects: 2-4 hours after consumption
- Duration: 4-8 hours (sometimes longer)
Types of Edibles
There's an edible for every preference:
- Gummies - Easy to dose and great flavors
- Chocolates - Delicious and discreet
- Beverages - Faster onset than traditional edibles
- Baked goods - Classic cookies, brownies, and more
Tips for a Good Experience
- Eat a meal before or with your edible
- Stay hydrated
- Be in a comfortable environment
- Have CBD on hand in case you feel too high
