Start low and go slow
A common approach is to begin with a single low-milligram serving and then wait. Because the effects are delayed, taking more too soon is the most frequent mistake, so give it time before deciding whether you want any more.

Edibles Dosing Guide: Start Low, Go Slow
Edibles are simple to enjoy but easy to over-do, mostly because they take a while to kick in. A little patience goes a long way.
Onset and how long it lasts
Edibles often take 30 to 90 minutes or more to set in, since they are digested before the effects begin, and they tend to last several hours, longer than inhaling. Plan around that timeline.
Read the label
- Check the total milligrams of THC in the package.
- Check the milligrams per individual serving.
- Remember a package can hold many servings, so one piece is not the whole package.
