Per serving ≠ per package

Three parts of an edible label.
Compare the package in front of you. Milligram amounts describe content; they do not predict a particular feeling or establish an amount that is safe for everyone.
Check total
Per package
A package may contain multiple servings. Keep total package THC separate from per-piece THC when comparing products.
Look closer
Other ingredients
Read other cannabinoids, added botanicals and allergens. Product names such as Sleep or Calm are marketing labels, not a guarantee of a medical benefit.
Start low.
Go slowly.
OCM gives 2.5–5mg as an example of a low starting serving for someone new to edibles. Even a low amount can cause impairment. There is no automatic next step to a higher dose.
- 01
Read the package
Use the exact product label for serving size and instructions. Do not estimate milligrams from a photograph, gummy size or another brand’s package.
- 02
Allow for delayed effects
Onset is not a reliable countdown. New York’s oral-product warning allows for a delay of four or more hours. Avoid adding another serving while waiting for the first.
- 03
Keep the setting safe
Plan transportation before consuming. Do not drive or operate machinery. Avoid alcohol and other substances, and keep products away from children and pets.

Ask the right person
Budtenders can explain a label and available formats. A healthcare professional should answer questions about symptoms, medicines or a treatment plan.
A delayed start can still become a strong effect.
CDC reports that edible effects can begin after 30 minutes to two hours and can last longer than expected. New York’s required oral-product warning says effects may be delayed by four or more hours. These statements describe uncertainty, not permission to take more when a timer expires.
Food, formulation, medicines, other substances and individual biology can change the experience. Do not convert inhaled THC into an edible amount using a fixed multiplier or assume a previous smoking experience establishes edible tolerance.
When to get help
An adverse reaction deserves attention.
Too much cannabis can cause severe confusion, panic, a rapid heartbeat, hallucinations or severe nausea and vomiting. Stop consuming, avoid other substances, stay in a safe place and ask a trusted person to stay with you. Do not drive.
Call Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222 for an adverse reaction or accidental exposure.
Call 911 for an emergency.
CBD, pepper, lemon zest and food are not a substitute for medical advice. Do not wait for a home remedy to work before seeking help. See CDC’s cannabis health questions.
Edibles dosing FAQ
How many milligrams should a first-time edible consumer take?
There is no amount that guarantees an easy or impairment-free experience. New York OCM advises starting with a low serving and gives 2.5–5mg as an example for someone new to edibles. Check the actual product label and discuss health conditions or medicines with a healthcare professional. A package serving is not a personalized dose recommendation.How long should I wait before taking more?
Do not use a 90-minute timer as a signal to take another serving. CDC says edible effects may begin after 30 minutes to two hours, while New York labeling rules warn that effects may be delayed by four or more hours. Timing varies. Avoid adding more while you are still waiting for effects; a first experience does not need a second serving.What should I do if I take too much cannabis?
Stop consuming cannabis and avoid other substances. Stay somewhere safe with a trusted person and do not drive. Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for advice about an adverse reaction or accidental exposure. Call 911 for an emergency. Do not rely on CBD, food, pepper or citrus as an antidote or delay getting help.Does 100mg on a package mean 100mg in each gummy?
Not necessarily. Find both the per-serving amount and total package amount on the label. For example, a package explicitly labeled 100mg total THC with ten equal 10mg pieces contains 10mg per piece. That is label arithmetic, not a recommended amount to consume. Do not infer serving size from a product name alone.Are edibles or vapes safer for beginners?
Every cannabis consumption method has health risks. CDC says there is not enough evidence to declare one route safer than another. Edibles have delayed and sometimes unpredictable effects; smoking and vaping have their own risks. A faster onset does not make a product safe.Can CBD reverse an uncomfortable THC experience?
Do not use CBD as a home antidote to an adverse cannabis reaction. Adding another substance may change the experience and can create interaction risks. Contact Poison Control or a healthcare professional for advice, and call 911 for an emergency.Can I use cannabis edibles every day for sleep or anxiety?
A retail guide cannot determine treatment or a daily regimen. Cannabis can worsen anxiety in some people, and frequent use can increase the risk of cannabis use disorder. Talk with a qualified healthcare professional about persistent sleep problems, anxiety, medicines and your cannabis use.How should I store cannabis edibles?
Keep products in their original labeled, child-resistant packaging, locked away and out of sight and reach of children and pets. Do not store edibles beside ordinary snacks. Contact Poison Control after accidental exposure; contact a veterinarian immediately if a pet consumes cannabis.
Compare products by their labels.
