Start Low and Go Slow with THC Edibles
It’s the first thing the New York State Office of Cannabis Management will tell you, and it’s the first thing we’ll tell you too.
Start Low means beginning with a small amount of THC. The OCM suggests 2.5 to 5 mg for someone new to cannabis. Go Slow means waiting before you take more. For edibles like gummies, that can mean waiting up to four hours before feeling the full effect.
It’s common for new consumers to think nothing is happening and take more before the first dose has fully set in.
Learn how it works with your body, then adapt.
Everyone’s endocannabinoid system is different. Body chemistry, metabolism, what you ate, how well you slept. It all plays a role. The same 2.5 mg that barely registers for one person can feel significant for another.
Neither experience is wrong. It’s just information.
If things ever feel stronger than you expected, rest, hydrate, find somewhere comfortable, and ride it out. Don’t take more. Don’t mix with alcohol. The feeling will pass. Then you’ll know for next time.
That’s exactly why we made our gummies the way we did. Our 2.5 mg bars include a cut line so you can begin with half if you choose. You can increase gradually when you’re ready.
Low Dose – High Trust™ isn’t just something we say. It’s how we build every product.
Start where you are. Wait. See how you feel. That’s it.
