The Complete Guide to THC Edibles
Everything you need to know about gummies, baked goods, chocolates, and more — from dosing to duration to choosing the right product.
What Are THC Edibles?
THC edibles are food and drink products infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles are processed through your digestive system, resulting in a different onset time, intensity, and duration of effects.
At Wake N Bakery, all of our edibles are made from hemp-derived THC, making them legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. This means you can enjoy our gummies, baked goods, and beverages without a medical card or dispensary visit.
Types of THC Edibles
Gummies
Most popular. Precise dosing, portable, long shelf life. Available in multiple flavors and strengths.
Tinctures
Sublingual drops. Versatile — add to any food or drink. Very precise dosing.
How Edibles Work in Your Body
When you eat a THC edible, it goes through your digestive system and is metabolized by your liver. The liver converts Delta-9 THC into 11-hydroxy-THC, which is actually more potent and longer-lasting than inhaled THC. This is why edibles feel different (and often stronger) than smoking.
Timeline of Effects
- Onset: 30-90 minutes (faster on empty stomach)
- Peak effects: 1-3 hours after consumption
- Total duration: 4-8 hours depending on dose
- Nano-emulsified products: 15-30 minute onset
Dosing Guide
| Dose | Experience | Best For |

| 2.5-5mg | Light — mild relaxation and euphoria | Beginners, social settings |

Safety Tips
- Start low, go slow. Begin with 2.5-5mg and wait at least 90 minutes.
- Don’t mix with alcohol — it intensifies effects unpredictably.
- Eat something first. Edibles on an empty stomach hit harder and faster.
- Store safely — keep edibles away from children and pets.
- Don’t drive after consuming THC products.
- If you take too much: Stay calm, hydrate, eat food with black pepper, and rest. Effects will pass.
