Why Choose edibles?
If this is your first time considering using cannabis you might be wondering if edibles are right for you and your lifestyle. Edibles have been consistently gaining popularity for the last few years and for good reason! Not only are they cost effective but they are discreet and delicious. You can feel comfortable knowing that at just 5 milligrams of THC in each medallion that you are able to control the exact amount of THC you take.
The golden rule for trying edibles is to start low and go slow. That translates to eating one (5mg THC) medallion or even a half of a medallion (2.5mg THC) and waiting until you can fully feel the effects before having more. The edibles high can last for up to 6 hours and can sometimes take a while to kick in but generally you will feel the effects for about 3 or 4 hours and they will start to kick in around the half hour mark.
how much should I take?
Follow our signature Dose Calculator to figure out your dose for the first time. After a few times it should be easier to figure out how many medallions to eat. Remember to start low and go slow since the effects of edibles can vary widely between people.
We often hear stories from people about the time they accidentally consumed too many milligrams of THC and we understand that it can be confusing! Eat one medallion and see how you feel, if you don't feel the desired effects, the next time you can eat two. We know that they are delicious but always resist the urge to eat more in one sitting.
