In states where edibles are legal, a doctor may be able to recommend a dose or brand. Still, it’s not always possible to know exactly what you’re getting. A 2015 study evaluated the dose and label accuracy stars of Death edibles 75 different products. Since edibles don’t kick in right away, it can be tempting to take more soon after your first dose.
The correct dosage is unique to each person, as we all have endocannabinoid systems that control our tolerance level. If you have done the math above to calculate the total mg of THC but still feel unsure where to start, check out my guide to dosing edibles safely and effectively. As a good rule of thumb, low doses of 1-3 mg THC are a good place to start.
But, it takes far longer to absorb all of the THC compounds inside our intestines, delivering a more sustained release. Smoking, on the other hand, produces an effect that comes on in just seconds, making it easy to determine if you’ve had enough or if you’d like more.
