You’ll see THC edibles with 2.5mg, 5mg, or 10mg of THC at cannabis dispensaries in New York. Some packages list 50mg or 100mg on the front.
Here’s what those numbers mean and how to compare edible products before buying.
THC Edible Doses: What to Know
2.5mg THC – Considered a microdose.
5mg THC – Common serving strength for a smaller dose of THC.
10mg THC – A common full serving in New York dispensaries.
THC per serving – The amount of THC in one gummy, chocolate square, tablet, or beverage serving.
THC per package – The total amount of THC across all servings in the package.
Other cannabinoids – Edibles may contain CBD, CBN, CBG, or THCV alongside THC, each with different properties that can influence how the edible makes you feel.
Cannabinoid ratios – Some edibles use 2:1 THC-to-CBD or 1:1:1 THC-to-CBD-to-CBN ratios.
How Much THC is in Edibles at NYC Dispensaries?
Most gummies at licensed New York dispensaries have 5mg or 10mg of THC per piece.
You’ll also find lower-dose edibles with 2.5mg or less.
Gummies can come in packs of 10 or 20, with 50mg or 100mg of THC in the package.
Other edible products have their own serving sizes.
A chocolate bar could have 100mg of THC with each square giving you a 10mg serving.
THC beverages tend to have 5mg or 10mg per can.
There’s also tablets and mints with smaller amounts of THC per piece.
Most orally ingested cannabis products are limited to 10mg of THC per serving and 100mg per package under New York’s adult-use cannabis regulations.
The only exception is tinctures which have different package limits
Comparing Edible Potency
Here’s how the most common THC servings compare.
2.5mg Edibles
Edibles with 2.5mg of THC are considered low-dose or microdose products.
You may prefer this option if you’re new to edibles or prefer smaller amounts of THC.
5mg THC Edibles
A gummy with 5mg of THC can make you feel different based on the other cannabinoids it has.
Camino’s Excite gummies have 5mg of THC per piece, with the idea of giving you a light dose for a little mood boost.
Then you have Camino’s Midnight Blueberry Sleep gummies. These have the same 5mg of THC, but with 1mg of CBN added to help you unwind.
There’s also Curio Wellness Sleep chews, with 5mg of THC and 10mg of CBN per piece.
All have the same THC strength, but they’re made to bring different feelings.
Look for cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, and CBG, and check how much of each is in each gummy with THC.
10mg THC Edibles
10mg is a common full serving strength at licensed New York dispensaries.
Look at cannabinoids and extract type when comparing 10mg options.
When shopping for edibles, you’ll see packages labeled 50mg or 100mg THC.
That’s the total amount of THC in the package, not what you’re getting in each gummy or piece of chocolate.
Here’s how that can look.
| Product | THC Per Piece | Pieces Per Package | Total THC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camino Excite Gummies | 5mg | 10 | 50mg |
| Grön Pearl Gummies | 10mg | 10 | 100mg |
| 1906 Tablets | 5mg | 20 | 100mg |
| Grön Chocolate Bar | 10mg | 10 | 100mg |
Why Edibles With the Same THC Strength Can Feel Different
Cannabis Extract
Some edibles use THC distillate, while others use live resin or live rosin.
These extracts can give edibles different flavor profiles and cannabinoid combinations.
Cannabinoid Combinations
A gummy with 5mg of THC may feel different from one with 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD.
You’ll also find edibles with CBN, CBG, and THCV.
Look for ratios like 1:1 THC to CBD or 1:1:1 THC to CBD to CBN.
These tell you how much of each cannabinoid you’re getting in relation to the others.
How to Narrow Down Your Choices
Shopping by potency is one way to narrow down your options when comparing edibles.
You can sort products by THC content on the Chrome Flwrs edible menu, from low to high or high to low.
Once you have a few options, look at what else goes into each product.
Check the cannabinoid combinations and ratios. Some gummies contain THC alone, while others blend THC with CBD, CBN, CBG, or THCV.
You can also compare the extract type. Look for distillate, live resin, or live rosin, especially if you’re interested in strain-specific edibles.
