Edibles 101: How to Dose, Make and Cook

EDIBLES 101

DosingSafetyHow-to

Edibles take effect slowly and last for hours because the liver converts THC into a more potent form, so a first dose is 2.5 to 5 mg of THC with a two-hour wait before more. Edibles are the most misjudged way to use cannabis, and the most rewarding once the dose is right. This is the map: understand and dose edibles, make the infused base, then cook. Start low and go slow.

Understand and dose edibles

Why edibles hit differently, how much to take, and how to avoid the classic mistakes.

Make the infused base

Every edible starts with decarbed cannabis infused into a fat or alcohol.

Cook: the recipes

Once you have an infused base you can dose, the recipes are the fun part.

Stronger forms

Beyond food: capsules for precise dosing, and concentrated extracts.

The one rule

Start low, go slow. A first dose is 2.5 to 5 mg of THC, and you wait a full two hours before taking more. Edibles cannot cause a fatal overdose, but taking too much is genuinely unpleasant and lasts a long time.
