There is no universal answer for everyone, as the ideal edibles dose depends on your personal tolerance, individual body chemistry, and the experience you’re looking for. with all the new edibles entering the new growing market of pot shops, we have posted some basic guidelines that can help you find the right dose of marijuana edibles, measured in milligrams (mg).
Tips:
1) If you don’t feel any effects from an edible after one hour, try eating a snack like a small snack to turn on the digestion and absorption in your gut.
2) Some people who are new to cannabis require 2-3 doses before they feel anything at all, so it’s often best to try the same low dose three times with 8 to 24 hours between trials before increasing the dose.
3) There are people who seem unable to absorb any significant amount of THC through the gut. In these individuals, absorption via the oral blood vessels (i.e., under your tongue) or the lungs is the best option.
