Start low, go slow: edibles for the first time

One 10 mg piece, then patience. What the pouch tells you, in plain words.

Edibles work differently from other ways of using cannabis, and the most common mistake is simply not waiting long enough. Everything here repeats what is printed on every pouch.

Start with one piece

Every Good Measure pouch holds ten pieces at 10 mg THC each. Start with one.

Wait. Then wait a little longer

The effects of edibles can be delayed by up to two hours. Give the first piece that long before you decide whether to have another.

The rules that never change

  • For adults 21 and over.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets: the pouch is child-resistant, so close it every time.
  • Do not drive or operate machinery after use.
  • Availability depends on local law.

This article is general information from the pouch, not medical advice. If you have questions about how cannabis may affect you, talk to a doctor.
