Common questions.
What is a good starting edible dose?
For most newcomers, 2.5–5mg of THC is a sensible first dose. Wait at least 90 minutes before taking more — edibles are slow to peak and easy to over-consume.
Why do edibles feel stronger than smoking?
Your liver converts THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, a more potent and longer-lasting compound. That is why an edible high feels different — and lasts hours longer — than inhaling.
How long do edibles last?
Effects typically peak around 2–3 hours in and can last 4–8 hours total, depending on dose, metabolism, and whether you ate on a full stomach.
