Why Edibles Are Different
When you smoke cannabis, THC enters your bloodstream through your lungs in seconds. With edibles, THC passes through your digestive system and liver, converting to 11-hydroxy-THC — a more potent compound.
This is why edibles feel stronger and last longer than smoking.
The Dosing Chart
- 1-2.5mg — Microdose. Mild focus, slight mood lift. Perfect for first-timers
- 5mg — Standard low dose. Gentle relaxation, mild euphoria
- 10mg — Moderate. Noticeable high, pain relief, social buzz
- 25mg — Strong. Experienced users only. Heavy euphoria
- 50mg+ — Very strong. Only for high-tolerance users
The golden rule: Start with 5mg or less. Wait 2 full hours before taking more.

Common Mistakes
- Eating more too soon — Edibles can take 30 min to 2 hours to kick in
- Empty stomach — Eat a small meal first for more consistent absorption
- Mixing with alcohol — This intensifies effects unpredictably
- Ignoring tolerance — Your smoking tolerance does not equal your edible tolerance
What To Do If You Take Too Much
According to Leafly:
- Stay calm — no one has ever died from cannabis
- Drink water, eat something light
- Black pepper can help reduce anxiety (chew 2-3 peppercorns)
- Find a comfortable, safe space
- Sleep it off if possible
