Edibles

Edibles route cannabinoids through the digestive tract and liver, which converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC — a stronger, longer-acting metabolite. That's why a 10 mg gummy can feel meaningfully different from a 10 mg puff: the body sees a different molecule, on a different timeline.

Onset is slow (45 minutes to two hours) and the peak arrives late. The standard adult-use serving in legal markets is 5–10 mg of THC; many people respond well to 2.5 mg. Microdosed edibles in the 1–5 mg range are increasingly common and worth starting with if you're new or returning after a break.

Read the label twice — package totals are not per-serving totals. A 100 mg bag may be ten 10 mg pieces. CBD-forward and 1:1 ratios (CBD:THC) shift the experience toward calm rather than intoxication. Effects can last four to eight hours; don't restack inside that window.
