Edibles 101: Start Low, Go Slow

Published October 6, 2026

Edibles are one of the most popular categories at Clover, and also one of the most misunderstood. Because they are digested, they behave differently from inhaled products.

Onset takes time

Edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect, and effects can last several hours. The most common mistake is taking more too soon because you do not feel anything yet.

Read the label

Every product lists the amount of THC per serving and per package. Pay attention to the serving size so you know exactly what you are taking.

Start low, go slow

If you are new to edibles, begin with a low serving, wait, and see how you feel before considering more. Our team can help you choose a product with a serving size that fits your comfort level.

Store safely

Keep edibles in their original packaging, clearly labeled, and out of reach of children and pets.
