California law requires cannabis edibles to contain no more than 10mg THC per serving and 100mg per package. This makes dosing straightforward — but start low and go slow, especially if you're new to edibles.
| Dose | Who it's for | Expected effects |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2.5mg THC | Microdosers, first-timers, medical users seeking subtlety | Mild focus, slight mood lift, minimal impairment |
| 5mg THC | Beginners, low-tolerance users | Noticeable relaxation or euphoria, slight coordination change |
| 10mg THC | Occasional consumers, recreational use | Strong psychoactive effects. The standard California serving. |
| 20–50mg THC | Experienced consumers with established tolerance | Intense effects. Not recommended for infrequent users. |
Cannabis Edibles FAQ
How long do cannabis edibles take to kick in?
Standard edibles (gummies, chocolates, capsules) typically take 45–90 minutes to feel effects, depending on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently. Nano-emulsified beverages and mints can onset in 15–30 minutes. Don't re-dose early — the most common edible mistake is taking more before the first dose kicks in.
How much should a beginner take?
Start with 2.5–5mg THC. California dispensary edibles are sold in clearly labeled doses. If you have no tolerance, 5mg is a full beginner dose. Wait 90 minutes before considering more. Effects from edibles are stronger and longer-lasting than smoking.
How long do edible effects last?
Edible effects typically last 4–8 hours, significantly longer than smoking or vaping (1–3 hours). High doses or low tolerance can extend this. Plan accordingly, especially for the first time.
What is a 1:1 CBD:THC edible?
A 1:1 edible has equal parts CBD and THC. CBD reduces anxiety and can moderate the psychoactive intensity of THC — a good option for those who want the therapeutic benefits of THC with a more balanced, less intense experience.
Do you sell cannabis edibles for delivery in Los Angeles?
Yes. Atrium delivers edibles same-day to Woodland Hills, Valley Village, and 20+ surrounding LA neighborhoods. Enter your address at checkout to see delivery availability.
Are edibles stronger than smoking?
Yes, in most cases. When THC is metabolized through the liver (as it is with edibles), it converts to 11-hydroxy-THC, which crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently than inhaled THC. This makes edible highs feel more intense and full-body even at equivalent THC milligrams.
