Best Ways to Take Edibles

Ingesting cannabis through edibles is a popular and effective way to enjoy long-lasting effects without smoking or vaping. Whether you’re exploring infused gummies, chocolates, beverages, or capsules, understanding the best way to take edibles is key to a safe and enjoyable experience.

At Massachusetts Green Retail, we guide customers through the ins and outs of cannabis edibles, from dosage to onset time, so you can consume with confidence.

Taking Edibles for the First Time

If you’re taking edibles for the first time, start slow. Edibles are processed through the digestive system, which means they take longer to kick in—but often feel stronger and last longer than inhaled cannabis.

Tips for Beginners:

• Start with a low dose: 2.5–5mg of THC is ideal for new users.

• Be patient: Effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to begin.

• Don’t redose too soon: Wait at least 2 hours before considering more.

• Choose a comfortable setting: Especially for your first time.

Everyone metabolizes edibles differently, so it’s important to understand your tolerance and give your body time to respond.

How Long Do Edibles Effects Last?

A common question we hear is how long do edibles effects last? While this can vary by person and product, here are some general guidelines:

• Onset: 30 minutes to 2 hours

• Peak effects: 2 to 4 hours after ingestion

• Total duration: 4 to 8 hours (sometimes longer)

This extended effect is one reason many users prefer edibles for overnight relief, chronic pain, or deep relaxation. Products with both THC and CBD may offer more balanced effects with fewer psychoactive peaks.
