Cannabis Edibles
Edibles that are precisely dosed and lab-tested.
Edibles process through your liver, producing a different, longer-lasting experience than smoking or vaping. Our selection includes gummies, chocolates, beverages, and baked goods, all compliant with New York's 5mg per serving standard.
The Science
Why edibles feel different than smoking
When you smoke or vape, THC goes directly from your lungs to your bloodstream. When you eat an edible, THC passes through your stomach and liver first. Your liver converts delta-9 THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, which crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently.
The result: edibles produce a stronger, longer-lasting, more body-focused high than the same amount of THC consumed through inhalation. This is why dosing matters so much with edibles.
This is not a warning to avoid edibles. It is a reason to respect them and start with proper dosing.
Onset Time
30-90 minutes. Nano-emulsified products may hit in 15-30 minutes.
Duration
4-8 hours. Peak effects usually occur 2-3 hours after consumption.
NY Standard Serving
5mg THC per serving. Beginners should start with one serving (5mg) or even half (2.5mg).

Safety Protocol
Start low. Go slow. Wait.
This is the most important advice for edible consumption, and it applies to experienced cannabis users too. Edible tolerance is different from smoking tolerance.
Start with 5mg or less
One standard serving. If you are completely new to cannabis, consider starting with 2.5mg (half a serving). You can always take more next time.
Wait at least 2 hours
Do not take more because you don't feel anything after 30 minutes. Edibles need time to process through your digestive system. Patience prevents bad experiences.
Be in a comfortable setting
Your first edible experience should be at home or somewhere you feel safe. Have water and snacks nearby. Don't plan to drive or operate anything.
If you take too much
You will not be in danger, but you may feel uncomfortable. Drink water, eat food, and rest. CBD can help moderate THC effects. The feeling will pass within a few hours.

Common edible mistakes (and how to avoid them)
Taking more because you don't feel it yet
Wait at least 2 full hours before considering a second dose. Edibles can take up to 90 minutes to kick in, especially on a full stomach.
Eating a full package
Read the label. A package might contain 10 servings. One serving is one dose. Start with one piece.
Mixing with alcohol
Alcohol amplifies THC effects unpredictably. If you are new to edibles, keep them separate.
Not eating beforehand
Edibles hit harder on an empty stomach. Eat a meal first for a more predictable, gentler onset.
Ignoring the type of edible
A nano-emulsified beverage hits in 15 minutes. A traditional brownie takes 90. The format matters.
