Is 1000mg of edibles a lot?
Eaten in one go, yes. As a pack total, it is ordinary. The big number on the front is everything in the pack added together, and it is meant to be split across pieces, squares or millilitres.
The number that tells you how strong one piece is sits next to it: mg per piece. Our BC THC gummies guide walks through reading a bag, so this guide sticks to what the totals mean in doses.
For scale, the usual starting dose is 2.5 to 5mg, and 10mg is already a full dose for most people who are new to edibles.
How many doses are in a 500mg, 1000mg or 1500mg pack?
Divide the pack total by the dose you take. Here is how the common pack sizes work out:
| Pack total | Doses at 5mg | At 10mg | At 30mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500mg | 100 | 50 | 16 |
| 750mg | 150 | 75 | 25 |
| 1000mg | 200 | 100 | 33 |
| 1500mg | 300 | 150 | 50 |
The 750mg and 1500mg rows are our own pack sizes. A Handcrafted jar holds 25 squares at 30mg each, and a Dripped bag like Assorted Gummies holds 50 pieces at 30mg.
A 1000mg edible is more often a syrup or a large bar than a bag of gummies. Our Nano CannaLean is 1000mg in a 100mL bottle, which is 10mg in every millilitre; the THC syrup guide covers measuring it.
The same table shows how long a pack lasts. At 10mg on a Saturday night, a 1500mg bag covers 150 Saturdays, close to three years of weekends.
What about 50mg and 100mg pieces?
Some packs put 50 or 100mg into a single piece. A 100mg gummy is ten 10mg doses in one bite, which is hard to cut evenly and easy to overdo. Smaller pieces split more predictably: a third of one of our 30mg gummies lands close to 10mg.
Edible dosage chart by milligrams
These ranges are the common convention, not rules, and what people report at each level varies a lot with tolerance:
| Dose | Usually for | What people commonly report |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2.5mg | A very first try | Mild, sometimes barely noticeable |
| 2.5 to 5mg | The usual starting dose | A light, relaxed buzz |
| 10mg | Occasional users | A clear, full high; strong for newcomers |
| 15 to 30mg | Regular users | Strong and long; one of our pieces is 30mg |
| 50 to 100mg | High tolerance, daily users | Heavy body and head effects for many hours |
| Over 100mg | Very high tolerance only | Very heavy; anxiety, a racing heart and nausea become more likely |
Does body weight change your dose?
Less than most people expect. Tolerance, what you have eaten, and your own metabolism move the needle far more, which is why dose charts by body weight do not hold up. Someone who smokes daily may barely notice 10mg, while a first-timer can find 5mg plenty.
Finding your number with a high tolerance
Start from a dose you already know and step up 5 to 10mg at a time, one session apart, never within the same evening. Note what you took and how it felt, so each step up is based on a real result.
Tolerance also falls after time off. After a break of a week or more, go back a step or two on the chart rather than straight to your old number.
How to split a 30mg edible
Every gummy we make is 30mg, a full serving for a seasoned edible user and a lot for anyone else. Cutting it is how one bag serves newcomers and regulars alike:
- A small corner: roughly 2.5 to 5mg, the usual first try.
- A quarter: about 7.5mg.
- A third: about 10mg.
- A half: 15mg, for people who already know edibles.
A sharp knife on a cutting board works best. Gummy worms cut cleanly into thirds or quarters, and the flat sides of the Handcrafted squares make even cuts easy. Cut a few doses at once, store them in a labelled container, and keep them well away from children and pets.
Do higher doses last longer?
Yes, usually. A bigger dose may be felt a little sooner, but the main difference is how long it stays: a normal dose runs 6 to 8 hours, and large ones can stretch past that and into a slow morning.
The waiting rule is the same at every size. Effects can take a couple of hours to build, so give any dose about 2 hours before taking more. Our guide to how long edibles take to kick in explains why, and what to do if you took too much.
