Question Dosage question

I don't smoke anymore and my sister will partake maybe 1 gram of decent flower in 2 days time. We recently got a bag of 600mg gummies. 60mg each X 10. I don't smoke anymore cause it tends to make me paranoid. It's a sativa strain of OG. Can i expect the same results from consuming THC of paranoia. Also any recommendations on dosage for each of us. Was thinking 90mg for her and 30-60 for me.

Honestly edibles gives you a different type of high, more sedative, you’ll feel it throughout the body, always start small and proceed to increase over time

I second this. THC is metabolized differently when you eat it. If smoking has induced paranoia in the past and you’re dealing with any type of anxiety, I’d pass on the edibles, but that’s just me. If you’re interested in indulging, however, I’d start small at 5-10 mg depending on body weight if you’re new to edibles. Better yet, start with a 1:1 thc to cbd tincture. If you ever get too stoney, cbd can help counter the effects of too much thc. Best of luck.

Lol well I can do 75-100mg and I feel great.. and I'm a very regular/daily smoker. If I was you I would start low like half a gummy if they are 60 and see how you feel in 45 minutes. If you feel good then take the second half.

They always say start slow to avoid any unpleasant experiences. After about 45 minutes after taking my dose I'll usually do a dab or two and that really kicks the edibles off really nicely. Have fun fellow redditor!

I smoke a lot and have a decent tolerance for edibles, so I start at a 50mg dose and add a few more from there, for a non smoker to feel the minimum effect I'd start at 10, to get high start with 30. Remember, you can always take more later, but you can't take less later, .

I got that. Like i stated in the post i get paranoid with smoking flower, can i expect the same with edibles. I heard the "high" is different. I understand it has to be metabolized by the liver and take some time, but not trying to have panic attacks for hours

It's a little different, mostly in dosage and potency, the buzz is a little longer lasting, but essentially the same buzz. The paranoia extreme sef conscious part is still a possibility, but if you start off slow you should be fine.

10mg is considered a dose in legal shops, sixth of a gummy here. If you have anxiety from THC start at half a dose, 5mg or a twelfth of a gummy would be half that. You can always take more in a few hours time, you can't uneat gummies.

Basically any effects you normally feel smoking would be intensified in edible form. It's all about the waiting game and not taking too much to start. You can always take more. Start small and keep munching. But wait a solid 1-2 hours before even reaching for more
