How long do cannabis edibles take to work?
Before taking edibles you need to know how it works, it is different from smoking or vaping. The main difference is the onset time. The onset time for edibles is between 30 and 120 minutes. It is different from person to person, it depends on other factors like weight, metabolism rate and tolerance to cannabinoids (THC & CBD).
For example, if you smoke only one joint the onset time will be very fast, almost instantaneous as it goes directly from your lungs to your bloodstream. With edibles it has to go through all your digesting system to finally get to your bloodstream this is why it can take up to 2hours
To start we recommend that you wait 2 hours before having another edible. If you are not feeling anything after this time then try eating another edible or smoking again, but be careful with the dosage because if you start to feel high it is very easy to overdo it and experience a bad trip!
How long do cannabis edibles effects last?
Edibles last longer than when you smoke weed, the good thing is it does not get you super high, instead, the effect of edibles is pretty stable and long-lasting, which makes edibles a great way to treat health conditions or just enjoy being high without having to smoke or ingest cannabinoids every now and then. It is hard to answer this question in a straightforward way because everyone is different (metabolism, weight, tolerance…) and of course the more you ingest and the longer the effect will last.
On average edibles will last for about 2-4 hours for the beginners, 4-8 hours for the intermediate and 8-12 hours for the expert dosage.

Beginner edible dosage
A beginner dosage for edible is between 5mg and 20mg of THC. Always start with a small dose, usually, edibles start at 10mg for gummies. You can easily split an edible into halves to make your edible dosage perfect for your needs! This level of THC is considered as “mellow high”.

The advanced dosage for edibles is between 30mg and 50mg for THC edible. This dosage is recommended to people who have previous experience with edibles or cannabis users. This dosage is considered a mild effect if you are used to cannabis.
- 30mg: You will most likely be in an elation state, laughing for almost no reason. This is the perfect time for you to relax and watch Scary Movie 2 on Netflix. You might also experience drowsiness at this point.
- 50mg: You are now in a state of euphoria and you are in a deep relaxation. If you wait a couple of hours you will probably have munchies. So keep some food and drink handy because you will need it! At this point, you might feel cognitive impairment.

Expert edible dosage
The expert edible dosage is between 100mg to 1 000mg. This dosage should be taken by experienced, high-tolerance THC consumers and patients living with inflammatory disorders, cancer, and other serious conditions. If you usually need 4g of marijuana flower or four joints in order to get high, then you only need one edible at this dosage! At this point, it is hard to describe the effects because you need serious tolerance or health condition to take it.
The potential adverse effects of this dosage are Panic, Paranoia and Nausea. So if you are not experienced just run away from those!
- 100mg: Intense high. 100mg is often the dosage for experienced cannabis smokers, so no worry if you smoke daily. At this point you might not feel muscle aches and headaches. You are deeply relaxed. A potential adverse effect, you can start feeling unease.
- 200mg: Even experienced cannabis smokers will feel it and probably take a nap at some point and wake up a few hours after.
- 500mg: This is more of a challenge than a regular dosage. At this point, you want to test your limits if you eat everything at once. Most people will simply split into pieces and enjoy it bit by bit.
- 1000mg: This is the most extreme edibles you can find. We don’t recommend anyone to eat it at once, but we know people that have extreme tolerance to THC can do it. You will most likely end up sleeping for 10hours straight. For this level of edibles we just suggest that you split at least in 4 and take a piece every hours.
