How Much Are 200 Milligrams? A Guide On Edible Dosing

Byking_adm on March 24, 2021

Learning how to properly dose your cannabis in your edibles is a skill that will ensure you have the best experience possible. No one wants to be consuming edibles that contain some mysterious level of THC. This could lead to some pretty unpleasant symptoms and might even scare you off from ever trying edibles again. How much are 200 milligrams of THC? If you’re starting to make cannabis edibles and don’t know the answer to that question, then you should probably learn it before proceeding with a recipe you have your eyes on.

The right dosage is an extremely important part of cannabis edibles. Even though the exact dosage will vary from person to person, it’s still good to figure out a solid baseline where you can determine whether you need to increase or decrease the THC levels. If someone has been consuming cannabis for 20 years, they might have a higher tolerance to it than someone that’s consuming it for the first time. They will also have a better understanding of what to expect in terms of the symptoms they will experience.

There are a couple of different things that cause someone’s physiological response to cannabis to be different from the next person:

• The amount of cannabis they’ve been using in the past.
• Gastrointestinal features.
• How sensitive their endocannabinoid system is.

Some people are just extremely sensitive to cannabis and will do just fine with a 1mg dosage. Some require much more than that to feel anything at all.

Ideal Dosage For Cannabis

If you’re starting to creep up to and well over the 100mg dosage level in your edibles, then there is a higher chance of uncomfortable effects occurring. If you’re breaking to the 200mg to 500mg range, then people might start to feel some paranoia or begin to experience gastrointestinal issues. This is even true for people who have a strong tolerance to cannabis.

What’s The Recommended MG Amount To Consume?

Because everyone’s body is different, there are a couple of factors that have an impact on just the right mg amount to consume. Here are also some standard guidelines to follow to figure out the best dose in your edibles:

THC Edibles – 1 – 2.5mg

If you’re consuming edibles that contain between 1 to 2.5mg of THC, you’ll typically experience:

• Relief from pain.
• Stress levels might be reduced.
• Your focus will go up.
• Heightened creativity.

The 1 to 2.5mg range is perfect for those just trying out edibles for the first time. It’s also ideal if you’re just wanting a very small dose of THC to take the edge off.

THC Edibles – 2.5 – 15mg

For edibles that contain between 2.5 and 15mg, you’ll experience:

• Strong pain relief.
• Reduction in anxiety levels.
• Feelings of euphoria.
• Lower coordination levels.
• Altered perception.

The 2.5 to 15mg THC dose in edibles is ideal for those using it recreationally. If you’re wanting to get great sleep, this is a good dose to go with.

THC Edibles – 30 – 50mg

Edibles with 30 to 50mg will create even stronger feelings of:

• Euphoria.
• Altered coordination.
• Perception.

If you have a fairly high tolerance to weed, the 30 to 50mg dosage will be perfect. This dose is also good for those that don’t absorb cannabinoids well in their body.

THC Edibles – 50 – 100mg

When you start reaching the 50 to 100mg dose, you’ll experience:

• Coordination issues.
• Perception problems.
• Discomfort in your stomach.
• Increased pain.
• Higher heart rate.

You should typically only be consuming edibles with 50 to 100mg of THC if you have an extremely high tolerance to it. If you don’t there’s a good chance that you’ll be feeling pretty uncomfortable.

How Long Until You Feel The Effects Of Edibles?

When people consume edibles, they think that they should be feeling high soon after taking them. This mistake is what causes people to consume another edible soon after ingesting the first one. A good rule of thumb is that you should wait about two hours if you don’t start feeling any effects from the first edible. This will ensure that your body has a chance to metabolize the edible, and you will have a lower risk of dealing with uncomfortable symptoms from overconsumption.

It’s important to keep tabs on the edibles you’re consuming because it’s easy to get carried away by having too much too fast.

What Are The Effects Of CBD And THC In The Edibles You’re Consuming?

Some people like to add CBD to their edibles to have an even greater medicinal effect. CBD has been known to lower anxiety and pain levels in some people. It can also mitigate some of the side effects that THC can sometimes cause, like an increased heart rate.

CBD has been known to lower the intoxication levels that THC creates, so for people that still want to experience a little bit of a high while still reaping the medicinal benefits, the combination of CBD and THC can work well to do just that.

If you’re using a strain of weed that has a CBD to THC ratio of 1:1, then you typically won’t really experience much of a high. But if you consume too much of it in a short period of time, you could still deal with unpleasant symptoms.

How Do You Calculate the THC And CBD Levels In Cannabis?

When the CBD to THC ratio in weed goes up, there is a lower chance of any intoxication occurring at all. If you have a strain of cannabis that contains a 5:1 CBD to THC ratio, then there’s a good chance you won’t feel high at all unless you consume a very large quantity of it.

If you consumed edibles that had 5mg of THC in them and felt high afterward, you typically wouldn’t feel high if those same edibles had 20mg of CBD in them along with the 5mg of THC.

Additional Tips For Edibles

If you’ve consumed any edibles an hour ago and still don’t feel high, try eating something like an apple to kick your digestive system into gear. Not everyone has the same gastrointestinal makeup, so some might need a bit of a kickstart in order to start absorbing the THC.

If you’re completely new to consuming edibles, you might need more than just one dose. Instead of jumping the gun and skipping to an extremely strong dose, try to start by taking a low dosage edible a couple of times in a row to test things out. There are rare cases where you might just be one of those types of people that can’t absorb THC in your stomach. If you do happen to be one of these types, then you might just want to stick with the smoking route.

How To Find Relief From Consuming Too Many Edibles Too Fast

• You’ll want to move to a comfortable environment while the high works its way through your system.
• Keep drinking plenty of fluids to reduce any dehydration that might occur.
• Try taking a dose of CBD to counteract the high from the THC.
• Consume some lemon oil or some lemon zest from the fruit.

The majority of people don’t have to go to the hospital after overconsumption of edibles. If you have consumed way too much and you have any heart issues, then you might want to go to the emergency just in case. If you’re dealing with constant vomiting and frequent diarrhea, you also might need some intravenous hydration.
