Edibles Dose Guide
How much THC should I take?
A simple starting point based on your experience and body. Edibles hit differently than flower — start low, wait two hours, then decide if you want more.
2.5 - 5
mg THC
Start at the low end of this range. Wait two full hours before taking more.
Important: Edibles take 30-90 minutes to kick in and can last 4-8 hours. Don't redose within 2 hours even if you feel nothing yet. If you take too much, you can't undo it — you just ride it out. Drink water, find a comfortable spot, remind yourself it will pass.
Why edibles are different
When you smoke or vape, THC hits your bloodstream fast and tops out in 10-15 minutes. Edibles go through your liver, which converts THC to 11-hydroxy-THC — a different compound that's stronger and lasts longer. That's why 5mg in a gummy feels different than 5mg in a joint.
Minnesota's 10mg cap
