1. When in Doubt, Wait it Out
It can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to begin feeling the effects of edibles, and it can take 4 hours to feel the full impact. So, if it's been 30 minutes and you're not feeling any effects and are thinking of consuming more, wait. Then, even if you begin to feel the impact, remember that they probably haven't peaked yet, so keep that in mind before deciding whether to have more. Health Canada recommends starting with products that contain 2.5 mg of THC or less, with an equal or higher amount of CBD to counteract possible adverse effects from THC.
2. You Are What You Eat
When consuming edibles, the effects you feel depend on how much you've eaten, what you've eaten, and how quickly your metabolism works. This means that consuming 5 mg of THC one day can produce different effects than consuming 5 mg on another day. So no matter what day it is, always start low and go slow.
3. What You See is What You Get
The amount of THC and CBD on the package is what's in the product. Edibles sold on Ashario.ca must meet strict quality requirements set out in the Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations to ensure that the amount of THC and CBD stated on the package is the amount in the product. However, the illegal market does not need to follow any guidelines or restrictions, so there's no way to know for sure how much THC or CBD is inside.
4. Beverages Are Edibles
Even though you don't eat them, beverages (including tea bags) are considered edibles in the Cannabis Act and on our site.
5. Some 'Edibles' Are Extracts
Although they are similar to edibles in the way they are consumed and absorbed by your body, oils and capsules are considered extracts in the Cannabis Act and on Ashario.ca. This means they have a 1000 mg THC limit per package, while edibles have a 10 mg per package limit.
6. They're (Up To) 10/10
The maximum amount of THC allowed in a single edible is 10 mg. To be more specific, a package of edibles can have up to 10 mg of THC. So, suppose there's only one edible in a package. In that case, the unit may contain up to 10 mg of THC - read the label carefully before consuming. If there are five edibles in a package, each unit may contain up to 2 mg of THC. Alternatively, there is currently no maximum amount of CBD that can be included in edibles.
7. They're Not for Kids
Edibles should be kept out of reach of children. Even though the government imposes strict packaging requirements to protect against accidental consumption and to ensure cannabis products are not appealing to children, parents and caregivers can take additional steps to keep cannabis products from getting into children's hands, such as keeping them in their original packaging in a place that is not accessible to children.
