How to use edibles & gummies.
Slow, long, and easy to over-do — patience pays

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.
