Edibles 101: Start Low, Go Slow
At Lady L Cannabis, we know edibles can be the perfect way to ease into cannabis—especially if you're not into smoking.
But we also know they can come on strong if you’re not careful. That’s why we’re big believers in the golden rule of edibles: Start low, go slow.
Whether you're brand new to cannabis or coming back after a long break, this guide will help you feel confident and in control.
🌿 Why Edibles?
For our community—especially busy women, moms, caregivers, and professionals—edibles are discreet, long-lasting, and easy to fit into a routine. Think: one gummy before bed, or a low-dose mint before a chill evening. No smoke, no fuss, just functional calm.
💡 What “Start Low, Go Slow” Really Means
Here’s the thing: edibles don’t hit you right away. They take time to move through your digestive system and liver before the effects kick in. That means…
You might not feel anything for 30 to 90 minutes
The full effects can last 4 to 8 hours
Taking more before that time is up? Not the move.
So when we say start low, we mean:
If you're new, start with 2.5mg to 5mg of THC
Wait at least 2 hours before deciding to take more
Trust us: you can always take more later, but you can’t take less once it’s in your system.
🧠 Quick Terms You Might See
THC: The compound that makes you feel high or relaxed
CBD: A non-intoxicating cannabinoid known for calming effects
CBN: Often found in sleep edibles—great for winding down
Ratio products (e.g. 1:1, 5:1): A mix of THC and CBD for a more balanced feel
