Edible cannabis products, such as gummies and mints are discrete and produce long-lasting effects. When consumed responsibly and knowing how much to consume, they’re fantastic.
If you are not careful, edibles can take you on an unexpected path. It’s therefore important to decide what type of experience you would like to have.
You can’t harm your body by eating too much cannabis, but you can avoid unwanted effects if you understand the dosage and how to get the best edible for you.
We have created a chart to describe the typical effects that many users have experienced at different THC doses, measured in milligrams (mg).
Many things can affect your experience with edibles. It takes time to learn how to choose the right dosage for you. Everyone’s body responds to cannabis differently.
The dosage of edibles made at home is harder to estimate. Continue reading to find out more about how edibles affect you.
Finding your ideal edible dose
What is the recommended milligrams per day of edibles? Each individual has a dose that is best suited to them and their body. The strength of an edible is determined by many factors.
Types of edible
Dosage
Tolerance
Body weight
Metabolism
Depending on these factors, two individuals can respond very differently to a similar type of edible at the same dosage. One person may be very stoned and another may not even get stoned. Start with a small amount of edibles, and increase it gradually until you reach your optimal dose.
How much THC do you need to get high?
The right edible dosage depends on many factors, such as tolerance, body chemistry, weight, and the type of experience you want. Here are some guidelines that will help you determine the correct dose in milligrams.
1–2.5 mg THC edibles (microdose)
Effects : Mild relief from symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and stress; increased creativity and focus. At this dosage, most users will not experience any intoxication.
First-time users or regular consumers who want to microdose.
3 – 5 mg THC edibles (low)
Effects :Stronger relief of anxiety and pain symptoms; euphoria. May impair coordination or alter perception. Five milligrams can be a high dose for some users.
Who is it for? For recreational use, consumers who are seeking relief for persistent symptoms that cannot be addressed with smaller doses and people looking to get a good sleep.
10 – 15 mg THC edibles (moderate)
Effects: effective relief of pain, nausea, and anxiety symptoms. Impaired coordination and altered perception.
Who is it for? THC high-tolerance consumers (both recreational users and medical patients); and unaccustomed customers may experience adverse reactions. This is the maximum dose of an edible, whether it’s in small pieces like cookies, gummies, or chocolate bars.
20 – 30 mg THC edibles (high)
Effects Strong euphoria, very likely to affect coordination and perception.
For whom is it designed? Patients with reduced GI absorption; consumers with high THC tolerances.
Foods containing 50-100 mg THC (very high)
Effects: Severe impairment of coordination and perception, increased risk of adverse effects including nausea, anxiety, and an increased heart rate.
Who is it for? High-tolerance THC users with experience; cancer patients, patients with inflammatory disorders, or conditions that require high doses.
Effects: Severe impairment of coordination and perception, as well as the likelihood of unpleasant side effects such as nausea, anxiety, and an increased heart rate.
Who is it for? High-tolerance THC users with experience; cancer patients, inflammatory disorders, or other conditions that require high doses.
How much edible should I take for the first time?
We recommend starting with 2.5 mg if you have never consumed edibles. In most cases, five mg is considered one dose. 2.5 mg, however, is half a dose.
Here are some tips on how to make edibles for the first time.
Dispensaries often sell edibles in doses of 2.5 mg, 10 mg, or 5 mg. We recommend purchasing gummies or mints that are easily cut into smaller pieces.
Check the labeling of each edible to see how it is dosed.
You can take more but not less. After taking edibles for at least an hour, if you still don’t get any effects or would like stronger effects, then take another 2.5mg.
