THC gummies are the most popular edible on our menu, and for good reason: they are easy to dose, discreet and come in endless flavors. But edibles work differently from smoking or vaping, so getting your THC gummies dosage right makes all the difference. This guide explains how much to take, how long gummies take to work and how long the effects last.
How THC gummies work
When you eat a THC gummy, it is digested and processed by your liver, which converts THC into a form that many people feel more strongly. That is why edibles take longer to start and often last longer than inhaled cannabis.
THC gummies dosage: where to start
- 1–2.5mg (microdose): a subtle starting point for first-timers or anyone sensitive to THC.
- 5mg (low dose): a comfortable first dose for most new consumers.
- 10mg (standard dose): a common single serving for regular consumers.
- 20mg and up (high dose): for experienced consumers with a higher tolerance.
Every product in our THC gummies collection lists the milligrams per piece and per package, so you can always calculate your dose. If a package contains 100mg and 10 pieces, each gummy contains 10mg.
5mg vs. 10mg THC gummies
A 5mg gummy is ideal for your first session or for a relaxed, social evening. A 10mg gummy is the standard dose many regular consumers prefer. If you are unsure, start with 5mg — you can always take more next time, but you cannot take less once you have eaten it.
How long do THC gummies take to kick in?
Most gummies take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect. Food in your stomach, your metabolism and the product formula all play a role. Some fast-acting gummies use special emulsions designed to work sooner. The golden rule is simple: wait at least two hours before taking more.
How long do THC gummies last?
Effects typically last four to eight hours, with the strongest effects in the first few hours. Higher doses can last longer. Plan your gummy around a time when you can relax, and never drive after consuming cannabis.
Choosing the right gummy
Beyond milligrams, consider the ratio and effect you want:
- Sleep-focused gummies often pair THC with CBN — browse strains for sleep.
- Ratio gummies combine THC with CBD or CBG for a calmer, more balanced experience.
- Sativa-leaning gummies are popular for daytime, while indica-leaning gummies suit the evening.
Prefer a drink? Cannabis drinks often take effect faster than traditional edibles. Experienced consumers can explore high-dose edibles.
Tips for a great first experience
- Start with 2.5–5mg THC.
- Wait at least two hours before taking more.
- Eat a light meal and stay hydrated.
- Choose a comfortable setting and plan to stay in.
- Store gummies in their child-resistant package, out of reach of children and pets.
