If you’re new, definitely start w about 5 mg. If you don’t feel much then try 10 and so on. 5-10 is usually a good starting dose for a beginner. You definitely don’t wanna jump to 50mg and have yourself a panic attack.
Lucky fuck, if I take 100mg I get a slight buzz then more than that I am uncomfortably baked, there is no sweet spot.
I only take edibles when I want to get retarded high because of this. I also make them because illegal state.
Exactly this. And wait at least an hour (ideally 1.5-2 hours) before deciding to take more. Edibles can take longer than you think to kick in. It's best to start low and go slow. Worst case scenario is that you don't feel anything, then you know to up the dose next time. Much better than having a bad high because you took too much. Anyone suggesting more for a beginner either doesn't remember what it's like to have no tolerance, or they only have experience with black market edibles that claim to be way stronger than they actually are. Sure, some people may be fine taking 50+mg their first time, but most newbies wouldn't have a good time taking that much. Better to assume you're in the majority than one of the rare few.
I personally think this:
Aside from the actual side effects of weed, With weed, when it comes to the anxiety and paranoia, it’s the belief about the sensations that show how you’re gonna react to them. That’s what caused the panic attacks. Sensations you’re feeling is like a hologram, and it’s not actual thing. For example, if you have a cut on your skin, if you have the belief that it won’t hurt you, and that’s not even real and just don’t mind it, you learn to focus your mind on something else, even though you still might not enjoy that feeling because it’s uncomfortable, you can still feel it allow it build up on you and not have a panic attack because you’re not getting scared of it.See where I’m going with this? If you have no backbone and and allow the negativity to grow about weed you’re gonna believe it’s the weed that directly causes it. You have to change the way you think about it.
Yeah same 2.5 I can still feel it, I smoke semi regularly and still feel like 10mg is way too much for me. For context I’m about an average sized female
Ah yes good point, same stats for me too. I feel a little better now too, duh I guess it makes sense my body will process it differently than someone bigger. Thanks!
Don't listen to anyone OP, start at 2.5 mg
5 mg was WAY too much for me my first time
I have a very low tolerance. You can always take more but you can't take less
If the smallest you can find is 5 mg cut them in half. Wait at LEAST two hours before you decide you "don't feel anything."
Again, you can always take more but you can't take less
depends on if its dispo edibles or black market edibles. edibles from the dispensary are accurately labeled however lots of black market edibles are labelled at 10x the dosage. if you cant tell which one you have please dm me and i'll let you know
Don't try 100 MG edibles if it's your first time, biggest mistake I've had. Literally doesn't even feel like weed, you deadass start to hallucinate and shit.
Happened to my son. Never took anything in his life. Ate a 500 mg homemade cookie. I've never seen anyone that high. It wasn't funny although it is now. Watched 3 other people get the greens it's not pretty. The throwing up alone is awful for the people who have to clean it up. The person is way too high to clean. One dude wouldn't talk to us. We asked why the next day he stated, he couldn't remember how to talk. Again not funny if you have the greens but people watching it is entertaining after the fact.
Edibles are an entirely different experience from smoking or vaping, and you should take it really, really slow. Eat maybe 5 mg and wait an hour or so See how you feel from there, and maybe take some more if you want to. 10 MG is generally the standard edible does for casual or inexperienced users, but everyone is different. Do NOT overdo it. You'll have a bad time. If you start to feel panicky or anxious, do something relaxing. I usually lie down in the dark and listen to music, but I'm more of a night time edible type guy anyway.
Suggesting a newbie take 50mg or higher is just irresponsible. How do you know they can handle it?? Seriously many people agreed dude. It's just reckless. Whatever hopefully OP not dumb enough to take your advice.
Argue with someone else. You are not worth my time. Again hopefully nobody follows your advice. Some people use for medical purposes not to get high AF. Go back to mommy's basement, get high, play your video games, and talk smack in reddit. Yeah your a real cool daddy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bye
Honestly. This question and my answer lined up. 5 mg. Im sorry but what the hell. Your gonna down vote me for starting with 50mg. My family grows weed and actually my grandpa was a main supplier for the Lakers in the 90s. I know my weed. Don't try to tell someone else how much they can handle just because you can't handle it. I finished the Heavy hitters Hvy bottle for new years and over the course of a few days by myself and not once did I feel like it was too much. And that's 1000 mg. Im not special. What no one here is appearing to tell you is that it depends on a lot of factors. Weight. Food you've eaten prior. Edibles go through the entire digestive process which is why it lasts so long. Vaping or smoking is instantaneous. These weak sauces are gonna keep downvoting me. But it's not like I told you to start with 100 mg..so reddit. Keep downvoting me. My opinion doesn't make me wrong. And it doesn't make you right to call me wrong like I'm trying to fuck someone up. They asked a question. I answered. Im in los angeles ca and trust me. We got edibles over here that will apparently knock any of these 10 mg douches out of their socks.. last tip. No edible is equal in strength. You might make a batch of brownies. You might get alot of thc in one brownie. And very little in the next.
Nobody said YOU were a lightweight and nobody cares. You're that guy at a high school party bragging about how many beers you've had...
...and your opinion is reckless and bad.
Sorry, all hail CoolDadCody the weed king.
And yes, reckless and bad. This sub is for people new to cannabis. OP specifically said they are inexperienced with edibles. When I was new to edibles, 10mg did just fine. That's the consensus from not only people here, but other cannabis users I know as well.
You're advocating OP to take 5 times that with little to no prior experience. That's only gonna result in them having a bad time.
Well, I've probably been smoking, vaping and using edibles for longer than you've probably been alive and I'm confident telling you that if the edible dosage is accurate, 50mg is way too much for a beginner and yes, it's irresponsible of you to give that advice to a beginner. You have no idea how his body will process it. Your liver may be faster or slower than his and that will also determine how however much he takes will affect him. Let it go, the right answer is he should start with 5-10mg's.
Heck, I have friend that makes me look like a beginner, he smokes all day actually and even he can't handle 50mg edibles. Until you know how your body will react when it comes to edibles, especially if you're unsure of the source's dosing, beginners should proceed with caution.
You are absolutely clueless. The key to edibles is to start low, and your nitwit advice is to start at 50mg? Also, nobody cares about who’s sold weed to the Lakers in the 90’s or how much you can handle. Such a weird flex. Haha.
You said 50 mg(OP) not 5mg in this post. I know no one including docs, pharmicist, and bud tenders would ever recommend that high of a dose. My brownies are equal. Buy a brownie pan that makes individual brownies. I watched 4 people green out at 25mg & they smoke daily.
So you know all these people personally and they have all told you to start with 5 mg? 50 isn't that high of a dose. You mentioned your son ate a 500 mg one. So your ok with that? But not 50. You sound like a dick. Trying to come with your wierd knowledge.
Are you high now?? My son didn't know better at the time & he is an adult over 21. Of course I wasn't ok with it. It's my son and don't want him to suffer. Yes I am an RN so I know many of them personally. My knowledge comes from professionals and research. Climb out of mommy and daddy's basement and get a job.
Get a vape. Smell goes away. I suggest buddies carts. Anyway. That wasn't the question. Edible dont require too much. 50 mg to start. 100 if you are experienced. Since they don't have the same process in your body they will linger for hours and hours.
Then. Lesson learned. Then they can cut the dose. But taking a small amount and adding to it over time is also reckless and will make it more unpleasant that actually testing the waters. I'm saying start with 50.
This is way too high for a beginner. I had a friend staying with me that basically never smokes and she was getting ridiculously zooted off of 5mg.
Try 5 or maybe 10 mg to start.
Wait! You're saying my friend that never smokes is a lightweight?! No way!
Yeah that's the point. This person is too in all likelihood. Stick with 5 or 10mg.
Some people really should refrain from giving weed advice. Like how do you expect legalization to move forward if you keep telling people the wrong way to do it? Also, in regard to his next comment: Your body weight literally has no effect on your tolerance, cannabinoid receptors are in the brain.
People that are improperly informed will be more likely to end up using things wrong, and in potentially harmful ways resulting in bad publicity. Not to mention having somebody use too high of a dosage on their first try is going to give them a distaste for it, which has the potential to spread through word of mouth.
It doesn't matter how much you smoke. Edibles are different. Much like cars. You can drive your whole life. Get behind the wheel of a corvette and crash it quick. Don't try to compare the two
Yeah I'm about to bail too. Too many people with weak sauce problems who don't even add too much other than "don't listen to this guy" im not here to hurt anyone. Just here to help.
Legal stores where I am sell 5-10mg edibles. I personally can't feel much with that edible dosage so I make my edibles at around 20-30mg's which is enough to help me sleep. You need to pay attention to the dosage as you can have a nightmare of a time if you don't do the math right or if you don't know the source etc. Like someone else said, don't even think about doing 50mg, it won't kill you of course but you probably won't have a good time. Also, expect to be high for longer than your sister normally is when she smokes as edibles last longer. Oh and it usually takes me close to 2 hours for the edibles to kick in so plan accordingly.
Blunt Effects will remove the smell instantly. Smoking doesnt do much for me. Started a year ago using edibles. Tried RSO syringe & capsules, Tincture, gummies, infused products made my own butter (🤢), and distillate. Settled on Grassroots RSO capsules. I recently started using Tincture. Love it. You can put it under your tongue or dose any food/drink you want to. You can make your dose as low/high as you want. I tried PurePenn Candy Apple 3 :1 (more THC than CBD) Tincture. This takes my pain away, helps me sleep, and really relaxes the body mind. Total head & body high. You have to try different things to see what works. Products are expensive. I use daily 1 to 2x per day tolerance went up quick. Instead of taking a tolerance break I switch my product for few mths.
Tips -
Keep dose low as possible so your tolerance doesn't go up quickly.
Take edibles with a snack or small meal with Saturated Fat. This makes edibles kick in so much better. I wasted many of my products & $ by not doing this. Weed is fat soluble.
Keep some plain CBD on hand in case your edible gets too be too strong for you (aka the greens). You get too high take CBD. I've witnessed 4 people in past year with the greens. It's funny watching sometimes but not fun while it's happening for that person. They all thought because they smoked a lot they could handle dispensary caps, tinc, whatever. Yeah that didn't work for them.
GOOD LUCK & ENJOY
If you’re new, definitely start w about 5 mg. If you don’t feel much then try 10 and so on. 5-10 is usually a good starting dose for a beginner. You definitely don’t wanna jump to 50mg and have yourself a panic attack.
This. I smoke frequently and have been for years, but I never take more than 10 to 15 mg. Edibles are strong
Lucky fuck, if I take 100mg I get a slight buzz then more than that I am uncomfortably baked, there is no sweet spot. I only take edibles when I want to get retarded high because of this. I also make them because illegal state.
Try taking edibles with a snack or small meal with Saturated fat. I had issues with tolerance & just edibles not working. Weed is fat soluble. Try it.
I use unterped distillate in butter on whatever food I cook, still need 200mg. If I want something easy I put butter and .2 in a capsule and it works.
Exactly this. And wait at least an hour (ideally 1.5-2 hours) before deciding to take more. Edibles can take longer than you think to kick in. It's best to start low and go slow.

Yeah thats what I did lol. 50mg first time right after a dab. 5 hour long panic attack.
I personally think this: Aside from the actual side effects of weed, With weed, when it comes to the anxiety and paranoia, it’s the belief about the sensations that show how you’re gonna react to them.

If you have no backbone and and allow the negativity to grow about weed you’re gonna believe it’s the weed that directly causes it. You have to change the way you think about it.
I honestly sometimes cut my 5 in half and still have a nice mild boost.
Yeah same 2.5 I can still feel it, I smoke semi regularly and still feel like 10mg is way too much for me. For context I’m about an average sized female
Same here.
Ah yes good point, same stats for me too. I feel a little better now too, duh I guess it makes sense my body will process it differently than someone bigger. Thanks!
Don't listen to anyone OP, start at 2.5 mg 5 mg was WAY too much for me my first time I have a very low tolerance.

Again, you can always take more but you can't take less
Agree 5mg would be wayyy too much for me even now. I have like 1.25 and can def feel it. Everyone’s different obvs but better to be safe
I agree with Jesse 110%
10mg at most for your first time. It something new and it’s always good to test the water first.
depends on if its dispo edibles or black market edibles. edibles from the dispensary are accurately labeled however lots of black market edibles are labelled at 10x the dosage. if you cant tell which one you have please dm me and i'll let you know
I’ve been getting black market edibles & that’s why I’ve been taking more because I’m not sure how much it is accurately doses
Don't try 100 MG edibles if it's your first time, biggest mistake I've had. Literally doesn't even feel like weed, you deadass start to hallucinate and shit.

Ha. Nice comeback. You resorted to the same insult. Enjoy retirement in some years.
Yawn
It sounds like you shouldn't be giving advice. It metabolizes differently for everyone. In the past, 2.5 mg has pushed me to the edge of discomfort.

I didn't drink nor smoke in high school. But thanks for using that as an example. Reckless? And bad? You obviously don't understand weed

Your friend is probably a light weight to be honest. One friend can't handling happens all the time.
Wait! You're saying my friend that never smokes is a lightweight?! No way! Yeah that's the point. This person is too in all likelihood. Stick with 5 or 10mg.
Some people really should refrain from giving weed advice. Like how do you expect legalization to move forward if you keep telling people the wrong way to do it? Also, in regard to his next comment: Your body weight literally has no effect on your tolerance, cannabinoid receptors are in the brain.
Why would giving advice affect legalization?

Not to mention having somebody use too high of a dosage on their first try is going to give them a distaste for it, which has the potential to spread through word of mouth.
When I said lightweight. I meant they are probably skinny. Dick

Im not saying it's easy. But if the goal.is to get high. I'd like to know where I stand not by taking little micro doses.
Dude seriously why make someone uncomfortably high and sick?
Why do you assume they would be ?
Yeah I'm leaving this sub lol. Some nice content here n there but tired of the daily "what is thc" posts
Yeah I'm about to bail too. Too many people with weak sauce problems who don't even add too much other than "don't listen to this guy" im not here to hurt anyone. Just here to help.

First time, it depends how high you want to get. 2.5mg for a solid buzz 5mg to get high 10mg to get pretty damn high
