Delta-9 Dosage Guide: How Much THC Should You Take?

If you’re new to Delta-9 gummies or haven’t quite found your “just right” dose, you’re not alone. THC edibles can hit harder and last longer than other forms of cannabis, which is why finding the right Delta-9 dosage is essential, not just for effectiveness, but for comfort and safety too.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how Delta-9 dosing works, how your body responds at different levels, and how to find your sweet spot, whether you’re a total beginner or looking to elevate your experience.

How Delta-9 Dosage Works

Delta-9 THC is psychoactive, meaning it can affect mood, perception, and body awareness. The effects you feel depend largely on:

• Your body weight and metabolism
  

• Your personal tolerance to THC
  

• Whether you’ve eaten beforehand
  

• The format (gummy, tincture, vape, etc.)
  

• The exact milligram dose per serving
  

Edibles like gummies hit differently than smoking or vaping because your body processes the THC through the liver, converting it into 11-hydroxy-THC, a more potent and longer-lasting metabolite.

Standard Delta-9 THC Dosage Chart

Note: Start low and build gradually, especially with edibles.

Our Rule of Thumb: Start Low, Feel It Fully

It can take 30 to 90 minutes for a Delta-9 edible to kick in, and the full effects might not peak until 2 hours in. That’s why we always recommend starting with a half or full gummy, depending on the dosage, and waiting before re-dosing.

• Do not: Take one, wait 20 minutes, then eat two more.
  
• Do: Take a low dose, wait 1.5 to 2 hours, then reassess.

How Long Does a Delta-9 High Last?

Depending on your dose and body chemistry, a Delta-9 edible high can last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. Some people may feel residual effects the next day, especially after higher doses.

Factors that affect duration:

• Dose size (higher = longer)
  

• Whether you’ve eaten (empty stomach = faster onset)
  

• Tolerance level
  

• Hydration and sleep quality
  

Can You Take Too Much Delta-9?

Yes, and it’s more common with edibles because they take longer to hit, leading some users to accidentally double up.

Signs you may have taken too much:

• Racing thoughts or anxiety
  

• Dizziness or heavy limbs
  

• Dry mouth or red eyes
  

• "Stuck" feeling or couch lock
  

If this happens, don’t panic. Rest, hydrate, and ride it out. Effects always pass with time.
