Read the per-piece number, not the pack total. A "150mg" pack of ten 15mg chocolates and a "70mg" pack of ten 7mg jellies look very different on the front, but the real difference is one piece being roughly twice the other. The pack total only tells you how many servings you bought.
What the numbers mean
| Per piece | Usually suits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5–8mg | First-timers, light or occasional use, sharing with friends | Easy to take half if you want to go slower still |
| 10–15mg | People who already know how edibles affect them | Often described as a full evening's worth in one piece |
| 25–35mg | Regular, experienced use | Most people split these rather than eating a whole one |
| 50mg+ in one item | A whole brownie or cake meant to be divided | Treat the item as several servings, not one |
Why pack totals mislead
Two packs on the same shelf:
- A 70mg pack of ten 7mg jellies — ten gentle pieces.
- A 90mg pack of six 15mg belts — six pieces, each more than double.
The second pack has a bigger number on the front and fewer, stronger servings inside. If you compare front-of-pack totals, you will buy the wrong thing eventually.
How strong is strong?
Honest answer: it depends on the person more than on the milligrams. Body weight, what you've eaten, how often you use cannabis and simple individual variation all change the result. Two people splitting the same 15mg piece can have quite different evenings.
That's why the starting advice never changes: take a small piece, wait a full two hours before even thinking about more, and judge the next time from what actually happened.
Splitting pieces
Gummies and jellies cut cleanly with a knife; a 15mg belt cut in half is roughly 7.5mg, give or take, since the mix is never perfectly even. Chocolate usually comes scored into squares. Baked items like brownies and cakes are the hardest to divide accurately, because the mix isn't evenly spread, so with a 100mg brownie, cutting it into quarters gives you four roughly-25mg portions, not four identical ones.
If accuracy matters to you, buy pieces at the strength you want rather than splitting something stronger.
Which pack to buy
| You are | Buy |
|---|---|
| Trying edibles for the first time | A multi-piece pack at 7–8mg, and eat one piece |
| Sharing with friends who are new to it | The same, small pieces, more of them |
| Used to edibles, want fewer, stronger pieces | 15mg pieces |
| Experienced and buying for several evenings | 33mg pieces or a cake to divide |
Browse the range by strength in the edibles collection, or start with the best sellers, which are mostly low and mid-strength for a reason.
A few safety notes
- 18+ only, and keep them in the original packaging away from children and pets.
- Don't drive after taking one, for the rest of the day.
- Alcohol makes edibles less predictable. Pick one.
- If you take medication or have a health condition, check with a doctor first.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 150mg pack stronger than a 90mg pack?
Not necessarily. Compare milligrams per piece. A 150mg pack of ten pieces is 15mg each; a 90mg pack of six is also 15mg each. Same serving, different quantity.
What is a good first dose?
Most people start around 5–10mg, which is one small piece. Wait two hours before considering more.
Can I cut an edible in half?
Yes for gummies and chocolate. Baked goods divide less evenly, so treat the halves as approximate.
Why did one pack affect me more than another at the same strength?
Food in your stomach, how much sleep you've had and the format itself all change how quickly it comes on. The same milligrams can land differently on different days.
How long do the effects last?
Longer than people expect, commonly four to eight hours, sometimes with a tail the next morning after a strong one. See the full dosage guide.
