Short Answer

Start with 1 mg to 2.5 mg of THC. That is one quarter to one half of a standard 10 mg gummy. Wait at least 2 hours before taking more. Indica gummies do not change this math. The number that matters is THC in milligrams, not the strain label.

Why indica does not change the starting dose

Indica and sativa are plant categories, not dosing categories. Lab tests show the two groups often hold the same THC and CBD levels. A 10 mg indica gummy and a 10 mg sativa gummy deliver the same THC. Some users report indica makes them sleepy. That report can come from terpenes, from mood, or from setting. No lab test predicts one person's response.

What the label means

  • Total THC per gummy: often 5 mg or 10 mg.
  • Total THC per package: often 100 mg in Colorado and other US states.
  • Serving size: one gummy, or half a gummy, printed on the label.
  • CBD content: listed in mg. CBD does not cancel THC.

Read the label before you cut the gummy. A 10 mg gummy cut in half is 5 mg. A quarter is 2.5 mg. An eighth is 1.25 mg.

Timing

Edible THC passes through the stomach and liver. Effects start in 30 to 120 minutes. Peak effects arrive at 2 to 4 hours. Effects last 4 to 8 hours. A second gummy at minute 45 adds to the first dose. It does not replace it. Wait 2 hours. If you feel nothing at 2 hours, take another 1 mg to 2.5 mg.

Beginner schedule

  1. Day 1: take 1 mg to 2.5 mg. Note the time. Note how you feel at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours.
  2. Day 2: if effects were mild, take 2.5 mg to 5 mg.
  3. Day 3 and after: raise the dose by 2.5 mg at most per session.
  4. Stop at 10 mg until you know your response.

Risks

High doses cause anxiety, racing heart, nausea, and confusion. These effects are not dangerous for most adults. They are uncomfortable. Do not drive. Do not mix with alcohol or sedatives. Keep gummies in a locked box away from children and pets.

Convenience factor

Gummies sell because they are portable, pre-dosed, and have no smoke. That convenience hides a problem. A gummy looks like candy. A 10 mg dose looks the same as a 2.5 mg dose. Cut the gummy, or buy low-dose gummies labeled 1 mg or 2.5 mg. Some US states sell microdose gummies at those levels. Those fit beginners.
