THC Dosage Calculator
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Proper dosing is important for a safe and comfortable experience, especially with edibles where effects are delayed and longer-lasting than smoking.
General Dosing Guide:
Microdose: 1-2.5 mg — Subtle effects, focus
Low: 2.5-5 mg — Mild euphoria, relaxation
Moderate: 5-15 mg — Stronger effects, altered perception
High: 15-30 mg — Strong effects, experienced users
Very High: 30+ mg — Very strong, not recommended for beginners
Microdose: 1-2.5 mg — Subtle effects, focus
Low: 2.5-5 mg — Mild euphoria, relaxation

High: 15-30 mg — Strong effects, experienced users
Very High: 30+ mg — Very strong, not recommended for beginners
⚠️ Important: Start with a low dose (2.5-5mg) and wait at least 2 hours before consuming more. Edibles take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect. This calculator is for legal jurisdictions only.
Factors Affecting Response
- Body weight: Larger individuals may need slightly more
- Tolerance: Regular users need more for the same effect
- Metabolism: Faster metabolism = faster onset
- Food in stomach: Eating beforehand slows absorption
- Individual sensitivity: Genetics play a major role

Edibles vs Smoking
Edibles produce different effects than smoking: slower onset (30-120 min vs instant), longer duration (4-8 hours vs 1-3), and often stronger effects because THC is metabolized differently through the liver.
Safety Tips
Start low and go slow. Do not drive or operate machinery. Store edibles securely away from children and pets. Stay hydrated and have snacks available.
