How to Safely Enjoy Edibles

Solid Edibles (Gummies, Baked Goods, Chocolates, etc.):

  • One dose = 10 mg
  • Eat one single dose and then set a timer for about an hour to an hour and a half.
  • When the timer goes off, see how you feel at that time before eating more.
  • Some people have slower metabolisms and won’t begin to feel the effects for up to two hours after eating an edible, so patience is key! 
  • Enjoy the experience!

Liquid/Tablet Edibles (Tinctures, Drinks, Capsules, Hard Candies, Lollipops, etc.):

  • One dose = 10 mg
  • Have one dose and set your timer for 20 minutes.
  • See how you feel at that time before having any more.
  • These forms absorb on the thin skin of the mouth and tongue and will take less time to metabolize for most people than a solid edible.
  • Enjoy the experience!

Tips to Remember:

THC is the part of cannabis that gets you high. THC is fat soluble.
  • This means that if you eat an edible and then eat something with a lot of fat in it (pizza, cake, etc.), the fat in the food will bond with the THC in your belly and amplify your high!
Always keep drinking water while enjoying an edible experience.
  • It’ll keep you hydrated and keep things flowing smoothly and comfortably.
When you experience an edibles high, it may last for an extended period, about 4-6 hours.
  • Because your body is metabolizing the THC, you may feel the high flowing through your whole body, in a full, radiating feeling.
If you can, try not to pair edibles with alcohol, especially if you are from lower elevation.
  • Sometimes it can give you the spins if you combine these, and we want you to have a nice time and not be uncomfortable.
Do not drive while enjoying edibles!
  • You never know when it will kick in and you do not want to be behind the wheel when it does. Plan your day accordingly with edibles.
