2.5mg microdose to 10mg standard
Edibles
Same plant. Different molecule.
Edibles take 60-120 minutes to take effect because THC must pass through the digestive tract and liver, where it metabolizes into 11-hydroxy-THC, a compound stronger and longer-lasting than the inhaled form. This is why first-time edible users often think it didn’t work, take more, then experience an unexpectedly strong effect 2 hours later.
The 3-rule safety protocol
The only three rules that matter for edibles.
The single most common first-time mistake is taking a second dose before the first has fully kicked in.
First-time: 2.5-5 mg. Casual: 5-10 mg. Regular: 10-20 mg. High-tolerance: 20+ mg. Always wait 90 minutes before redosing. The peak effect hits 90-120 minutes after consumption. NY caps edible packages at 100 mg total THC, with 10 mg per individual serving.

Edibles FAQ
Most-asked at the counter.
I don't feel anything after 60 minutes, should I take more?
No. Wait at least 90 minutes. The single most common first-time mistake is taking a second dose before the first kicks in. The peak hits at 90-120 minutes. If at 90 min the effect is genuinely too mild, take half of what you took before.
Why do edibles feel stronger than smoking?
When THC passes through the digestive tract and liver, it metabolizes into 11-hydroxy-THC, a compound with stronger and longer-lasting effects than the inhaled delta-9 THC form. Same milligrams of THC, different molecule, different experience.
How long do edibles last?
4-6 hours total. Onset 60-120 minutes. Peak 90-120 minutes after consumption. Slow taper over the next 3-4 hours. Some people report mild residual effect into the next morning.
What's the safest first edible dose?
2.5-5 mg of THC. We carry microdose gummies (2.5mg) and standard 5mg pieces specifically for first-time consumers. Wait 90 minutes before considering more. Always.
