Your Complete THC Gummy FAQ: Answers to the Questions Everyone Asks

Why Gummies?

Edibles have become one of the most popular ways to enjoy cannabinoids. They’re discreet, easy to dose, and taste great — but for many people, gummies raise a lot of questions. If you’ve ever wondered how long they last, how much to take, or what makes them different from smoking or vaping, this guide has you covered.

How Long Do Gummies Take to Work?

Unlike inhaled cannabis, which kicks in within minutes, gummies take time. After eating one, it usually takes 30–60 minutes to notice effects. That’s because the body digests and processes the cannabinoids before they enter your bloodstream.

The payoff? The effects are slower to build but tend to last 4–6 hours — making gummies a longer-lasting option.

How Do Gummies Compare to Smoking or Vaping?

• Smoking/Vaping: Fast onset, shorter duration (1–2 hours).
  

• Gummies: Slower onset, longer duration (4–6 hours).
  

If you’re looking for a gentle, sustained experience that doesn’t require smoke or vapor, gummies are often the preferred choice.

What’s the Right Dose?

Dosing depends on your tolerance and goals. Many people start with 5mg of Delta-9 THC (often half a gummy) and adjust from there.

• Light effects: 5mg
  

• Moderate relaxation: 10mg
  

• Deeper rest: 15–20mg
  

The golden rule: start low, go slow.

Will Gummies Affect My Daily Routine?

That depends on when you take them. Gummies designed for relaxation are best in the evening. For daytime clarity or a social lift, look for products with THCV or lighter blends. The key is matching the gummy to the moment.
