NYC Edibles Guide 2026

Types of Edibles

Cannabis edibles come in many forms. The most common categories include gummies, chocolates, beverages, mints, baked goods, and hard candies. Each type offers a different experience in terms of onset time, duration, and flavor.

Gummies

Gummies are the most popular edible format. They come in precise doses (typically 5mg or 10mg per piece), a wide range of flavors, and are easy to split for micro-dosing. Brands like Kiva and Lost Farm produce some of the most popular gummies on the market.

Chocolates

Cannabis chocolates offer a more indulgent edible experience. They come in bars that can be broken into individually dosed squares. Dark, milk, and white chocolate options are available from various brands.

Beverages

Cannabis-infused beverages are growing in popularity. They tend to have a faster onset time (15-45 minutes) compared to solid edibles because the liquid format allows for quicker absorption. Options include seltzers, teas, and flavored drinks.

Mints and Lozenges

Sublingual mints dissolve under the tongue, allowing THC to absorb directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system and can produce effects in as little as 15 minutes. They are discreet and easy to dose.

Dosing Guide

Microdose (1-2.5mg): Subtle effects. Good for first-time users or those seeking mild relief without strong psychoactive effects.

Low dose (2.5-5mg): Noticeable relaxation and mood lift. Recommended starting dose for beginners.

Standard dose (5-10mg): Clear euphoric effects. Suitable for occasional users with some tolerance.

High dose (10-25mg): Strong effects. For experienced users only.

Very high dose (25mg+): Very strong effects. Only for users with significant tolerance.

The golden rule with edibles: start low and go slow. Wait at least 2 hours before taking more.

Onset and Duration

Edibles take longer to kick in than smoking or vaping because they must pass through the digestive system. Typical onset is 30 minutes to 2 hours, with effects lasting 4 to 8 hours depending on dose and individual metabolism. Beverages and sublingual products can act faster (15-45 minutes).
