How to choose edibles

Look at two numbers: the dose per piece and the total THC in the pack. Divide the total by the number of pieces and decide how much one portion should be before you start. A 400 mg bar with 20 squares holds 20 mg a square, and a 500 mg bag of 10 gummies holds 50 mg a gummy — many times a beginner dose.

Dose, timing and duration

• Starting dose: Health Canada’s guidance for people new to edibles is to look for products with 2.5 mg of THC or less.
• Onset: effects usually appear within 30 minutes to 2 hours, and the full effect can take up to 4 hours. Ottawa Public Health notes that the slower onset can lead to overconsumption when people take more too soon.
• Duration: sources vary, from about 4 to 12 hours, and some effects can last longer. Newcomers often feel stronger and longer effects from the same dose than regular users.
• Wait: allow at least two hours before having more.

If you have taken too much

Overconsumption is unpleasant but is usually temporary. Public health and cannabis-store guidance suggests staying calm, sitting or lying down somewhere safe, drinking water, having a small snack and distracting yourself with music or a show. Get urgent medical help for chest pain, seizures, loss of contact with reality or severe agitation, or if you feel something serious is wrong. Public health agencies have noted more calls to poison control about children and pets who ate edibles, so store every pack out of reach.

Storing edibles safely

Keep edibles in their original packaging, away from heat, and well out of reach of children and pets — infused sweets look like ordinary sweets. You must be of legal age in your province: 19 in most of Canada, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec.
