EDIBLES

Edibles are processed through your digestive system rather than your lungs, which means the onset is significantly slower than smoking or vaping. Effects typically begin 30 minutes to 2 hours after consumption, depending on your metabolism, body weight, what you have eaten that day, and your individual tolerance. The effects also last considerably longer — typically 4 to 8 hours, sometimes extending to 10 or 12 hours at higher doses. This extended duration is both the main appeal and the main risk of edibles. Always wait a full two hours before deciding to consume more, as many people make the mistake of redosing too early because they feel nothing, then experience an overwhelming effect when both doses hit simultaneously.

For first-time edible users, 2.5mg to 5mg of THC is considered a beginner dose and is unlikely to produce an overwhelming experience. The standard recreational dose for most people with some cannabis experience is 10mg. Doses of 25mg and above are considered high and are best suited to experienced users with a well-established tolerance. If you are switching from smoking to edibles, be aware that your smoking tolerance does not directly translate — edibles metabolise differently through the liver and can feel considerably more intense and longer-lasting. Our product listings clearly state the total THC content and the amount per serving so you can dose accurately every time.

Delta 9 THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis and is what most people are referring to when they say THC. Delta 8 THC is a naturally occurring but less abundant cannabinoid that produces a milder, smoother psychoactive effect — often described as a cleaner, clearer high with less anxiety and paranoia than Delta 9. Delta 8 edibles are often preferred by those who find Delta 9 too intense or who experience anxiety with standard THC products. Both are available in our edibles range and clearly labelled so you know exactly what you are getting. Delta 8 products are also often legally available in more jurisdictions than Delta 9, though laws vary and it remains your responsibility to check local regulations.

Storage requirements vary by product type. Gummies and chocolates should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight — in warmer climates, refrigeration is recommended to prevent melting or texture changes, though condensation can affect gummies over time. Beverages should be stored upright and refrigerated after opening. Baked goods should be refrigerated if not consumed within a few days and can be frozen for longer storage. All edibles should be kept in child-resistant packaging or containers and stored well out of reach of children and pets, as cannabis edibles can look identical to regular food products. Always label your stash clearly if you store edibles outside their original packaging.

Mixing THC edibles with alcohol significantly intensifies the effects of both substances and can lead to an unpleasant or overwhelming experience, including increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting and excessive sedation. We strongly advise against combining the two, especially for those without significant experience with both substances separately. If you are taking prescription medications, consult your doctor before using cannabis products. THC can interact with certain medications including blood thinners, antidepressants, antipsychotics and sedatives. Cannabis also affects the CYP450 enzyme system in the liver which is responsible for metabolising many common medications, potentially altering their effectiveness or concentration in the bloodstream.
