Edibles work differently than smoking. Your liver turns the THC into a stronger, longer-lasting form. Effects start in 30 to 90 minutes, peak at two to three hours, and can last four to six hours or more. Patience is everything. Most bad edible trips come from "I didn't feel anything, so I ate more."
Every edible is made with real cannabis extract, not synthetic THC, and the mg on the package is the dose you get.
A good starting dose for new users is 2.5 to 5mg. Regular users land around 10 to 20mg. Anything over 100mg is for experienced users only, so respect it.
No. Wait at least two hours. Edibles peak two to three hours after you eat them, so doubling up at 30 minutes means the second dose lands right as the first one peaks. That's how you end up couch-locked. Drink water, have a snack, and let it work.
Gummies are the most consistent and start in 45 to 90 minutes, lasting four to six hours. Chocolate can start a little faster (30 to 60 minutes). Drinks use fast-acting THC and start in 15 to 30 minutes, shorter and lighter. Tinctures under the tongue act fast (about 15 minutes); swallowed, they act like gummies. Pick the format that fits your timing.
It varies by product. Check the ingredients and allergen note on each product page before you buy.
Gummies and chocolate keep six months at room temperature, longer in the fridge. Drinks: check the best-by date. Tinctures last a year or more. Keep everything out of sunlight and heat, and away from kids and pets, because they look like candy. They ARE candy.
