Edibles, including gummies, mints, brownies, cookies, drinks, and other food products, are discreet and can produce long-lasting effects. They’re great when consumed responsibly, and when you know how much you’re consuming.
Unwanted or unpleasant effects from edibles can be avoided if you know the dose of the product and what dose of edibles works best for you.
It’s important to note that each individual has an ideal dose best suited for them and their body. The strength of an edible depends on many factors, including:

• Type of edible
• Dosage
• Tolerance
• Body weight
• Metabolism

2.5 mg – 5 mg THC edibles 
Effects: Mild relief of symptoms like pain, stress, and anxiety; increased focus and creativity. Who it’s for? First-time consumers or regular consumers looking to micro dose.

10 mg THC edibles
Effects: Stronger relief of pain and anxiety symptoms, euphoria; may impair coordination and alter perception.
Who it’s for? Standard recreational use; persistent symptoms not addressed by smaller doses; people looking for a good night’s sleep.

25 mg THC edibles
Effects: Very strong euphoria; likely to impair coordination and alter perception.
Who it’s for? Higher tolerance THC consumers (both recreational consumers and medical patients); unaccustomed consumers may experience negative effects, patients with a decreased GI absorption.

100 mg THC edibles
Effects: Seriously impaired coordination and perception; possible unpleasant side effects including nausea, pain, vomiting, and increased heart rate.
Who it’s for? Experienced, high-tolerance THC consumers; patients living with cancer, inflammatory disorders, or conditions that necessitate high doses.

Consuming more than 100 mg of edibles and super high dosages such as 150 mg, 200 mg, or even 500 mg, greatly increases the risk of negative effects, such as nausea and paranoia, even for consumers with very high tolerances. Remember you can always take more, but you can’t ‘untake’ any.

The best way to enjoy the experience the of being high is to plan ahead. If you’re sensitive to substances or new to marijuana, start slow. Seriously. Even if your local dispensary sells edibles and other products with 10 milligrams of THC per dose, beginners will likely need to start with less. Way, way less. We’re talking closer to 2 or 3 milligrams — and some people may never be able to take more than that. Don’t be afraid to ask a friend to babysit you as well. If you do accidentally get too high, the most important things to do are move to a place you feel safe and try to stay calm.

Remember that the feelings are temporary. Some people find that eating, getting properly hydrated, or even taking a whiff of black pepper can help them find balance, but the best thing you can do is stay in one place until the feelings wear off.

No. Consuming more than 100 mg of edibles and super high dosages such as 150 mg, 200 mg, or even 500 mg, greatly increases the risk of negative effects, such as nausea and paranoia, even for consumers with very high tolerances, however NO ONE HAS EVER DIED FROM USING ONLY CANNABIS.

For a pleasant experience, please remember that you can always take more, but you can’t ‘untake’ any. 

This is a personal decision based on what each individual finds to be of the most benefit. Most experienced cannabis users choose multiple methods of using cannabis.

Cannabis Edibles

• You do not need to inhale burning carbon resulting from the combustion of plant matter, keeping your lungs healthy.
• Little is needed for therapeutic effects.
• Well-made products can be micro-dosed.
• This can be both a pro and con, but high doses of edibles can last 12 hours or longer – sometimes even over 24 hours! This depends very much on a person’s metabolism.
• Effects can take a long time to kick in — one to two hours, usually. This is not ideal for those who need immediate relief.
• Easy to take too much and suffer an unpleasant experience.

Smoking Cannabis

• Quick and immediate effects – very useful for those who need immediate relief from symptoms.
• Does not require huge technical know-how to use properly.
• Many people enjoy the taste of smoking cannabis – appreciation of cannabis’s flavonoids and terpenoids.
• Quite simple to dose, even if the dosage is not precise.
• Effects last around 2-3 hours, which is ideal for remaining functional.
• there is some argument that cannabis smoke is not the same as tobacco smoke, this does not mean cannabis smoke is not potentially harmful to the mouth, throat, and lungs. 
• Not suitable for minors.
• Some of the beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes are lost in the heat and smoke – not the most efficient ingestion method.
• Cannot measure dosage with any precision.
• Effects may not be long-lasting enough.
• Perhaps the smelliest way of ingesting cannabis – keeping discreet can be difficult.
• The immunocompromised and those with breathing issues ought to be particularly careful with smoking cannabis.
• Rolling papers – these can contain damaging compounds of their own. Some brands are certainly better than others, but even the best adds more burning matter. Blunt wraps are generally made from tobacco, which is addictive and harmful to health.

Cannabis Tinctures

• Effect duration similar to edibles (6 – 8 hours), but far easier to control dosage, with a slightly faster time for effects to be felt (usually between 15 and 30 mins rather than 1-2 hours).
• Versatile – can be used as-is, in food or beverages, or even as a topical.
• Suitable ingestion method for people of all ages.
• Discreet.
• Widely available, with a range of cannabinoid ratios to choose from.
• Perhaps one of the most efficient ways to consume cannabis.
• Can contain a very wide range of cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes.
• Can be available in capsule form for micro-dosing.
