Edibles basics (not medical advice)

Onset is slower than inhalation. Labels list milligrams. This is product education, not a treatment plan.

Edibles are food or drink with cannabinoids mixed in. Licensed packages list milligrams of THC per serving.

Effects from swallowed edibles typically take longer to appear than inhaled products and can last longer. People often wait and then take more. That is how accidental overconsumption happens.

This guide does not recommend edibles for any health condition. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, talk to a clinician; do not use this page as advice.

In an emergency of accidental ingestion, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 or local emergency services.
