If you’re not near our shop, here’s how to find beginner-friendly edibles on any dispensary menu.
Look for Low THC Per Piece
Don’t just look at the total THC on the package. Look at THC per piece.
You want 1–2.5mg (microdose) or 5mg (beginner sweet spot).
Once you start seeing 10mg per piece, that’s where things may get overwhelming.
Go for Balanced Ratios (THC + CBD or CBG)
Straight THC can feel a little intense if you’re new to this.
Blended edibles tend to feel smoother and easier to handle.
Look for things like:
- THC + CBD → more relaxed, less edgy
- THC + CBG → clearer, more functional
- THC + CBN → better for sleep
