Edibles dosage guide: how much THC should you actually take?

Edibles are the easiest cannabis to overdo because the feedback is delayed by up to two hours.

Starting doses

First time: 2.5mg. Occasional user: 5–10mg. Daily smoker: 20–50mg. Anything above 100mg per piece is meant to be cut.

Onset and duration

Effects start at 45 to 120 minutes and last three to six hours, sometimes longer with high doses. The rule: wait two full hours before taking more. That is it. Almost every bad story starts with a second dose at the ninety-minute mark.

Why edibles hit differently

The liver converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, which is stronger and longer-lasting than inhaled THC. That is not marketing — it is why 10mg eaten feels bigger than 10mg smoked.

If you overshoot

Water, food, a quiet room, and CBD if you have it. It passes. Products from the THC gummies and CBD shelves make managing this simple because the milligrams are printed per piece.
