Edibles THC dosing

 

To complicate our understanding of edible cannabis dosage, the effects we feel afterwards are not just related to the amount of THC (and other cannabinoids) present. The experience is also largely shaped by our own personal THC tolerance. It can also be shaped by the size and weight of an individual.

A larger person may feel reduced effects from the same strength edible compared to a smaller person. Your own endocannabinoid system is unique to you, so are the gastro-intestinal factors which will also affect absorption of edibles THC.

What is the recommended dosage of an edible? Much depends on how easily you get stoned and how much THC you typically consume. That’s one of the main reasons why a ‘one size fits all’ cannabis edible dosage calculator is so hard to create. Average edible dosage varies quite significantly from one person to another.

An experienced cannabis user with a high tolerance may feel quite happy taking a cannabis edible with 100mg or more of THC. Many home growers harvest somewhat more cannabis than they need and may make cannabis concentrates such as cannabis oil from some of their crop.

Some cannabis oil (also known as hash oil or Rick Simpson Oil) users can consume a gram or more of cannabis oil per day. Cannabis oil can contain around 60% THC, that means a 1g dose could deliver several hundred milligrams of THC. For the experienced recreational or medical cannabis user that is a heavy, but manageable dose.

Conversely, a novice cannabis user with little cannabis tolerance may find that a 1-2mg dose is a far more sensible starting point. After all, dosage levels can always be increased on a subsequent attempt if the THC dosage was too low. But if you consume an edible that is too powerful for you it can be a paranoid and uncomfortable experience which will subject you to several hours of discomfort.

One important piece of advice is to avoid continually snacking on cannabis edibles. It can take a couple of hours for the psychoactive effects of the edible to be felt. This time delay between consumption and effect has caused many inexperienced edible users to over consume.

This is in complete contrast to vaping/smoking where the effects are felt within minutes. If you eat too many edibles too quickly you can end up exceeding your safe dose by the time all the edibles have taken effect. At that point there is little that can be done to reverse the damage other than wait for the effects to pass.

In summary, cannabis edibles offer the potential for exquisitely pleasurable experiences with long lasting blissful levels of enjoyment. You can buy amazing edibles from Dillon Colorado dispensaries. You will find quality cannabis products over there.
