Cannabis Edibles: Tips & Tricks
Go slow
Since the effects are so long-lasting—up to 8 hours or, in some cases, even longer—the ramifications can be quite serious. If you’re unsure if the edible you took is “working,” only take another dose after you’ve waited at least 2 hours or longer to give the edibles a chance to take effect in your body.
Store edibles safely
Some edibles will resemble regular gummies and other types of candy, which is why it’s essential to store them away from minors and other people who shouldn’t ingest them. We recommend storing them in a locked drawer or cabinet. Storing them away from sunlight has the bonus of minimizing the chances of degrading the THC in your edibles.
Start with a low dose
How much cannabis edibles should you take? While everyone reacts somewhat differently, we advise those just starting out to consume very small doses—perhaps in the neighborhood of 2.5 mg of THC. At this dosage, any potential side effects are likely to be minimal. As you become more experienced in working with edibles, you can increase your dose to determine the ideal amount over time.
