THC Edible Gummies at Altitude Dispensary

THC edibles typically take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect, as they must be digested first. The intoxicating effects peak at about 4 hours. Start with a low dose and wait at least 2 hours before taking more to avoid overconsumption. This process varies by individual based on metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten recently.

Beginners should start with 2.5mg to 5mg of THC and wait at least 2 hours before considering additional doses. Our gummies at Altitude Dispensary Monticello are clearly labeled with precise THC content for accurate dosing. Our staff provides comprehensive guidance for first-time edible users to ensure a safe, positive experience.

THC edible effects typically last 4-8 hours, with residual effects lasting up to 24 hours. This is significantly longer than smoking or vaping cannabis. The extended duration makes edibles ideal for extended relief from pain, anxiety, sleep issues, or for sustained recreational enjoyment. Plan accordingly and clear your schedule.

THC edibles can feel stronger due to how THC is processed in the liver, creating 11-hydroxy-THC—a more potent compound that produces more intense body-focused effects. The experience is typically more pronounced and longer-lasting than smoking. Both the original THC and this stronger form influence the intensity of the high.

Store THC edibles in their original child-resistant packaging in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Keep them at room temperature and avoid exposure to heat, humidity, or direct sunlight to maintain potency. Consider using a lockbox for additional security. Proper storage prevents accidental ingestion and preserves product quality.

Yes, you can cut gummies for smaller doses, though THC distribution may not be perfectly even. For more precise microdosing, we recommend purchasing lower-dose gummies (2.5mg) rather than cutting higher-dose ones. Our Monticello location offers various strength options to match your exact dosing needs.

If you've consumed too much and experience anxiety, panic, nausea, or paranoia, stay calm and remember the effects will pass. Find a safe, comfortable place to rest. Drink water, try black pepper (which can reduce anxiety), and focus on deep breathing. If symptoms are severe or concerning, contact your local poison center or seek medical attention immediately.

Cannabis can interact with certain prescription medications. If you are taking or planning to take prescription medications, speak to a healthcare practitioner about whether cannabis interferes with them. Never mix THC edibles with alcohol or other intoxicating substances, as this significantly raises the risk of over-intoxication and adverse effects.

Individual responses to THC edibles vary based on metabolism, body weight, tolerance, whether you've eaten recently, and genetics. Your liver's efficiency at converting THC affects intensity and duration. This is why it's crucial to start with low doses at Altitude Dispensary Monticello and gradually find your ideal amount through careful experimentation.
