According to the 2018 Hemp Farm Bill, for each 1 gram (1000mg) on a dry weight basis, we can have up to 3 milligrams (3mg) of hemp-derived Delta 9 THC at .3 percent.

For example, if a gummy weighs 5 grams, it can legally have up to 15mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC per gummy.

Ideal dosing will depend on your body, your tolerance, and your desired effect.  If you’re canna-curious and new to consuming THC, these guidelines can help ensure a positive and controlled introduction.

Delta-9 THC: A good starting dose of Delta-9 THC is 5 to 10mg.  The average person enjoys a 10mg dose of Delta-9 THC. Those with a higher tolerance may enjoy a 20mg dose of Delta-9 THC.

Delta-8 THC: A good starting dose of Delta-8 THC is 10 to 25mg. The average person enjoys a 25mg dose of Delta-8 THC. Those with a higher tolerance may enjoy a 50mg dose of Delta-8 THC.

Please read the labels and take the time to understand the potency of what you’re consuming.  For products such as THC gummies or pot brownies, consider cutting them into smaller pieces, and for drinks, pour smaller portions. Remember, you can always go back for seconds, but once consumed, you can’t un-consume it.

Note that edibles can take 30-60 minutes to first take effect and up to 2-3 hours to feel the peak of the effects. Never increase dosing until after 2-3 hours to ensure an accurate gauge of the peak intensity of the last dose.

When you eat THC edibles, your high can be intense and long lasting. The intensity and duration depend on both the dosing and type of THC.

Duration of high from Traditional Edibles made with THC distillate: Your high from traditional THC edibles builds slowly and lasts for several hours. It usually takes about 60-90 minutes to start feeling the effects, 2-3 hours to feel the peak effects, and it can take several hours for the high to go away completely.

If you’re unsure of your dose, start low and do not take more until at least 2-3 hours have passed.  This is to make sure you know how strong the high from your last dose is.

Duration of high from Edibles made with Nano THC: When you eat THC edibles made with Nano THC, the effects kick in faster compared to traditional edibles. It usually takes about 15-30 minutes to begin feeling the effects, and 1-2 hours to reach the peak effects. The high from Nano THC edibles can last several hours, similar to traditional edibles.

Just like with traditional THC edibles, If you’re unsure of your dose, it’s important not to take more until at least 2-3 hours have passed. This way, you can accurately gauge how strong the high from your last dose is before deciding if you need more.

Nano THC is THC that’s been emulsified into tiny nanoparticles. These microscopic particles allow THC to absorb into your body more easily than traditional forms of THC.  When you consume Nano THC, it gets into your bloodstream quicker than other types of THC, leading to a faster onset of effects.
