It is a good idea to measure the amount of cannabis you ’ re willing to use when making your edibles at home . Even if you do so , creating a product that is consistently and evenly dosed in each bite is extremely difficult . You ’ ll get spots that contain lots of cannabinoids and other areas of your edible that contain little . Even the best edible makers can find this difficult , so don ’ t worry about having similar troubles . When you go to eat them , again , just start slow and low .
As an example — In terms of reading a label on the packaging of edibles you purchase from a dispensary , most companies making edibles give the total amount of THC and CBD in the product and often mark out the amount of THC in each piece to divide it yourself . So , a product like gummies may be dosed at 10mg each , but a bar of chocolate might be 100mg total , with perforations at 10mg ( so 10 pieces total in the bar ).
Whether you choose to make your edibles at home or purchase them from a dispensary , it is important to know what dose is right for you and how to make sure you are creating your edibles accordingly or reading the packaging appropriately .
As always , when in doubt , ask the budtender at your dispensary . They can help answers your questions regarding dosages and guide you to the best products to suit your needs . If they cannot , find another dispensary with more knowledgeable budtenders .
