Tips for First-Time Edible Users

  • Start Low and Go Slow
    Begin with a small dose—no more than 2 to 5 mg of THC—and wait at least two hours before considering more. Edibles take time to kick in, and overconsumption can be unpleasant.
  • Ask the Budtender
    Don’t hesitate to talk to dispensary staff. Budtenders are there to help you make informed decisions based on your tolerance, goals, and preferences.
  • Consider CBD-Rich Options
    Edibles that include a higher ratio of CBD to THC can offer a more balanced, relaxing experience—especially for those who may be sensitive to the psychoactive effects of THC.

Whether you’re soaking in the sun or winding down after a beach day, South Beach dispensaries make it easy to start your edible journey with confidence.
