What to know before you buy
The rule that matters most: wait
Edibles are digested before they take effect, and the state's guide lists 1 to 4 hours for them to kick in. The classic mistake is taking more because nothing has happened yet. New York's advice is to wait at least two hours before considering more, and not to take more while you're still waiting. You can always take more, but you can't take less.
Reading the label
New York edible labels show THC per serving and per package, the number of servings and the recommended serving size. CBD amounts are listed too, unless the package has less than 0.01mg. Because a package is capped at 100mg and a serving at 10mg, a 100mg package holds at least ten servings.
10mg is a limit, not a target
The state suggests newer consumers may want to start with 2.5 milligrams. That can mean cutting a 10mg edible into quarters, or taking fewer sips of a drink.
Store them safely
Edibles look like regular snacks. Keep them in their child-resistant packaging, away from kids and pets.
