How To Choose The Right Gummies
When you’re gummy shopping, consider each of the following factors.
From there, indulge at what you’d consider a safe level for your tolerance and desires, and then scale up slowly as you see fit.
1. Number of Milligrams
So, how many gummies does it take to be high? The first step is to check how many milligrams of THC are in the gummies you have on hand.
On the lighter side, for example, a serving of our Micro-Dose Delta-9 THC Gummies features only 5mg of THC. Even at this level, which is considered light, a first-timer can begin with just a bite of half a gummy for a starting level of 2.5mg.
On the stronger end of the spectrum, you can find products with as much as ten times that per serving, depending on the type of THC.
Featuring 40mg of Delta-9 THC, this Hero Dose Nano Delta-9 THC Shot is $12 at the Mood Shop. Subscribe and save 15%.
2. Personal Dosage
Milligrams plus quantity equals your personal dosage. So the milligrams of a given gummy only matter in relation to how many you eat.
Depending on the remaining cannabinoid content, you could have two 5mg gummies or one 10mg gummy and expect similar effects.
Some gummies, for example, feature specific compounds or cannabinoids to help shape the high toward a specific feeling or mood. For example, our Immune Support THC Gummies feature zinc picolinate, Vitamin B6, and elderberry extract, among other ingredients associated with immune support.
To figure out how many milligrams are right for you, and how many gummies you’d prefer to spread those across, start small and build up.
If you prefer a faster and more intense high, consider a more potent gummy. If you’d like a longer-lasting and lighter high, consider sprinkling bites of a less potent gummy throughout your day.

3. Tolerance Level
Your personal tolerance level plays a huge role in determining how hard cannabis edibles may hit you.
Those who use cannabis daily might not feel a low-dose gummy at all, whereas a first-time user might experience an intense experience with that same gummy. At the same time, a tolerance for smoking weed doesn’t always translate to a high tolerance for THC edibles.
For effective edible dosing, you should always start low with an occasional microdose bite, then only delve into more high-dose products when you feel confident and ready. Even consuming stronger products over longer periods of time with small bites can help you avoid overconsumption.

4. Cannabinoids Present
Throughout this article, we’ve mainly been covering Delta-9 THC. Throughout the world and the Mood Shop, you can find gummies featuring other cannabinoids.
Each cannabinoid offers its own unique side effects, and the specific blend of every gummy recipe makes for its own experience. Taking time to look at the cannabinoid content within a gummy will help you better understand the experience you can expect.
You can find a detailed breakdown of cannabinoid content on every gummy product page at the Mood Shop.
Our Pure Relief CBD Gummies, for example, are designed for calm and serenity without getting you high. They contain only trace amounts of THC and high concentrations of CBD for a non-psychoactive experience.

As we mentioned above, some of our gummies contain immune-boosting ingredients. Similarly, our Sexual Euphoria THC Gummies feature libido-enhancing ingredients and compounds like Korean red ginseng, maca root, and L-arginine.
Adding to the effects of THC, gummies can include any range of additional compounds to shape the user’s cannabis experience. Always take a look at the ingredients included in your gummies and consider how your body may respond to them.

FAQs on Gummy and Edible Dosage
Q: How can you tell how high a gummy will get you?
A: In addition to reading the above breakdowns on checking for things like the THC edible dosage, cannabinoid content, and other compounds present in your gummies, every user has to look at themselves.
With tolerance playing a huge role in your edible high, you need to consider the frequency of your cannabis use, overall THC tolerance, experience with weed edibles, whether or not it’s your first dose of the day, and more to get an idea of what you might feel.
The state of your health can also play a massive role. Something as simple as eating gummies on an empty stomach can play a role in your state of mind, influencing the psychoactive effects.
It’s also important to remember that we are not a resource for medical advice. For a better understanding of your specific health needs in relation to eating gummies or using cannabis, talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
Q: How long do edibles last?
A: Like the intensity of an edible high, the length of it can vary depending on dosage, product, and the individual user.
Of course, consuming higher doses and consistent ingestion — i.e., eating gummies throughout the day — will result in a longer-lasting edible experience.
Cannabis users with some history of eating edibles can gauge what to expect based on their tolerance and what they’re consuming. Newcomers and first-time gummy eaters might want to read a bit more about how long edibles last.
