Slow, long, and easy to over-do — patience pays

Clinician reviewedLab informedStart low · go slow

The protocol

Start low. Go slow. Stay consistent.

Start at the lowest serving on the label — typically 2.5–5 mg THC or 10 mg CBD. Wait at least 2 hours before considering a second dose. Most members never need more than 5–10 mg THC for evening calm; CBD-forward edibles can range 25–50 mg.

Practical tips

What clinicians tell their patients to actually do.

  1. Eat with food but not on a heavy meal — a light snack speeds onset slightly.

  2. Set a 2-hour timer before taking more. Most over-dose stories happen in that window.

  3. Score gummies in half if you want to start at 2.5 mg.

  4. Avoid alcohol on the same evening — interaction is more pronounced than expected.

  5. Plan around the long tail: a 7 pm edible can affect you until midnight.

Talk to your clinician first if

When to pause and ask

  • History of THC-induced anxiety or panic — start with CBD-only
  • Need to drive within 8 hours
  • Cardiovascular conditions sensitive to elevated heart rate
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
