Edibles hit differently — and getting the dose right makes the difference between a great experience and a bad one.

Whether you’re new to THC edibles or a regular consumer looking to dial things in, this guide helps you choose the right dose, the right timing, and the right product — without guessing.

Why Edibles Feel Stronger Than Smoking or Vaping

Edibles don’t enter your body the same way smoking or vaping does. When you eat THC, it passes through your digestive system and is processed by the liver. During this process, THC is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC, a compound that is more potent and longer-lasting than inhaled THC.

Think of it like this: Smoking THC is a sprint. Edibles are a marathon.

No effects yet. This is where most people make the mistake of taking more.

30–90 minutes:
Effects begin to build slowly. You may feel relaxed, lighter, or more social.

2–4 hours:
Peak effects. This is when edibles feel the strongest.

4–8+ hours:
Gradual comedown. Some effects may linger, especially with higher doses.

Light body buzz, calm mind, no couch-lock.

Gaming or creative activities (10-25 mg)

Enhanced focus, deeper immersion, more fun.

Socializing or parties (5–15 mg)

Indica vs Sativa Edibles: Does It Matter?

With edibles, the difference between indica and sativa is less intense than with smoking, but it still matters.

Indica-leaning edibles tend to feel:

  • More body-focused
  • Calming and relaxing
  • Better for sleep and pain relief

Sativa-leaning edibles tend to feel:

  • Lighter and more uplifting
  • More social or creative
  • Better for daytime use

Edible Dosage FAQ

How long do edibles take to kick in?

Edibles typically take between 30 and 120 minutes to begin working. The timing depends on factors like metabolism, whether you’ve eaten recently, and the amount of THC consumed.

Because the effects are delayed, many people make the mistake of taking more before the first dose has fully kicked in.

How long do edibles last?

Edible effects can last anywhere from 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending on the dose and the individual.

Can I eat more if I don’t feel anything?

Only after waiting a full 2 hours.

How many mg of THC is too much?

For beginners, anything over 20mg can feel overwhelming.

Are edibles legal in Canada?

Cannabis is legal in Canada, but availability and regulations vary by source.

What if I ate too much THC?

Relax, hydrate, and wait it out. THC is not dangerous, just uncomfortable at high doses.

Is 10mg too much for edibles?

For many people, especially beginners, 10mg can feel strong. Starting with a lower amount and waiting long enough before taking more helps avoid uncomfortable effects.

Why didn’t my edible work?

Edibles take time to digest and metabolize. If you didn’t feel anything right away, it doesn’t mean it didn’t work—it may not have kicked in yet.
